Data Collection

The only data we collect through the HITA judging website is information necessary to allow us to operate and promote the awards.

We only store this information for users who register to enter or nominate in one or more Award Categories. No information is stored for users who do not register.

In registering, users give their permission for HITA and their agents to use their contact information in email and social media as they promote the awards to the wider tourism industry. User data will be deleted on request (see below).

How Do I View, Amend, or Delete My Information?

Name and address information can be viewed/amended from the Profile Page, which is linked in the navigation bar after login.

A user can also delete their account from their Profile Page. However, if this is done, any Award Category entries they have previously made will also be deleted.

If a user is experiencing issues amending or deleting their information, they can raise a request with the Site Administrators to complete the action for them.
