Anyone who meets the following requirements is eligible to enter the drawing:

  • Be an active resident at one of the 11 StepHouse residences during the 2025–2026 academic year.
  • Be at least 16 years old (for minors, participation requires the consent of their parents or legal guardians).
  • Have fully completed the Satisfaction Survey for your residence during the participation period.
  • To have subsequently completed the supplementary form for the drawing with the requested information.

The entry period begins on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, at 12:00 a.m. and ends on Friday, May 8, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. (local time at each residence).

Entries received outside this period will not be valid for the drawing.

5. Participation Guidelines

To enter the drawing, you must:

  • Click on the link to the satisfaction survey for the residence where the resident is staying.
  • Please answer all the required questions in the survey and provide the following information: your last two names and room number. Your residence will be identified automatically.

 

Survey responses are never linked to personal information, thereby ensuring the anonymity of the responses.

 

Only one entry per resident is allowed. If multiple entries are detected from the same resident, all of them will be void.

6. Award

Two (2) Apple Watches will be raffled off among all participants who meet the requirements described in section 3.

Each prize is personal and non-transferable. It cannot be exchanged for cash or any other product or service.

7. Selection of winners and alternates

The winners and alternates will be selected on Monday, May 11, 2026, using the “Online and Random Draws” application, ensuring that the process is random and impartial.

The following will be selected:

  • 2 main winners (one for each Apple Watch).
  • 3 alternates, in the order in which they were drawn, in the event that any of the original winners cannot be contacted, declines the prize, or does not meet the eligibility requirements.

 

StepHouse will retain a record or video of the drawing for transparency purposes.

8. Notification of the winner and award ceremony

Winners will be notified by the staff at the respective residence, who will contact them in person, via WhatsApp, or by phone using the contact information provided on the raffle entry form.

The winner will have five calendar days from the date of notification to confirm acceptance of the prize. If no response is received within that period, the first alternate will be contacted, and so on.

The award will be presented at the residence itself, after the winner has been identified.

9. Processing of Personal Data

The information provided by participants on the Sweepstakes entry form (last name and room number) will be processed by StepHouse for the sole purpose of administering the Sweepstakes, identifying the winners, and notifying them of their prize.

The legal basis for the processing is the participant’s consent, which is provided by completing the Sweepstakes form.

The data will be retained only for as long as necessary to administer the drawing and deliver the prize, and will be deleted once that process is complete.

Participants may exercise their rights of access, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction of processing, and data portability at any time by writing to the contact address associated with their residence or to StepHouse’s official address, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Organic Law 3/2018 on the Protection of Personal Data and the Guarantee of Digital Rights.
