Voting Rules

In the 2026 edition, US$1 paid equals one vote once payment clears; the minimum payment is US$1. The payment sheet shows the amount before you pay. Repeat voting is unlimited, voting for yourself is allowed, and companies or communities may vote together. There are no caps, no jury points and no hidden weights anywhere in the ordering.

Only payments confirmed by our payment provider change a position. A confirmation screen never does. Failed or canceled payments create zero votes, duplicate confirmations add nothing, and every annual result can be recomputed from the vote ledger alone.

Payments and Refunds

Anyjoi GmbH is named as the legal payment recipient before checkout. The ranked person or work receives exposure, not money. You can request a refund for an accidental or duplicate charge through the payment contact path. Include your order reference if you have it, the charge date, amount, and what happened. Do not send card numbers. We review the request against the payment record and reply with the outcome.

Nominations that turn out to be ineligible are rejected; if voting was already open, their votes are refunded in full. If a refund is issued, the provider handles the money return and the votes paid for are removed through a visible negative ledger entry. Confirmed chargebacks remove their votes too.

If you think a charge is wrong, contact us through the same payment path. You may also raise a payment dispute with your card issuer or payment method's dispute channel. A contact request alone does not reverse a charge or change a ranking.

Profile Rights and Corrections

Anyone may nominate a person or work; the subject does not need an account and does not need to agree. Editors verify identity, classification and sources before a profile presents itself as complete. Subjects can claim, correct or dispute their profile at any time — claiming never gives control over rank or editorial independence.

To request a correction or claim a profile, use the profile contact path with the profile link and a source for the change. For a media or other rights concern, use the rights contact path. Staff review the request; a disputed fact does not automatically change the paid vote count.

When we correct a published fact, the correction is linked and visible. We do not silently rewrite the record.

Content and Moderation

Public “why” notes accompanying votes are moderated for abuse; removing a note never invalidates a legitimate vote. Impersonation, harassment and fabricated claims are removed. Media rights are reviewed before publication.

Privacy

Voting needs no account. Our payment provider handles card and billing details. Anyjoi GmbH keeps the order amount and state, payment and refund references, and a small record of verified payment events so votes can be counted, reversed and checked. When the provider supplies a customer identity, we store a coded identifier to count distinct voters without keeping the contact detail. A public reason is stored only if you add one.

The public contact form is closed. The contact page provides the operator's company email address. An email sent there is not stored in this site's private form queue; the form retention periods do not apply to that mailbox. Do not send card numbers or identity documents. Use the contact path to ask about access, correction or deletion.

Responsible controller: Anyjoi GmbH. Contact: contact@anyjoi.com. The legal basis for this request path is under review. Public form intake remains closed until the contact route and basis are confirmed.
