Can people voting as guests be identified?

We are testing a photo contest. I have a premium account. People voted after signing in as guests. When you sign in as a guest, you are asked for your name. From what I can see, in the evaluation section, voters for each photo are identified, not by the name they enter, but by the word anonymous followed by a string of numbers. Is there a way to see their actual names?

Hello Tamara!

I think you activated the option »Anonymize voters«. You can check this in the advanced step by opening the context menu (three dots) in the upper right corner and click on »Edit«.
When anonymization is activated users do not need to enter a guest name. In this case we do not store the names.
