The GDPR bit
We do ask for your email so we can contact the winner. Full disclosure, we will add you to our newsletter, but we won't use your email address to market to you directly, nor will we share it with anybody else. And don't worry, we only write about two newsletter issues a year because we're usually too busy doing Drupal things!
