privacy

short version: we keep almost nothing about you, and we don't share it.

what we collect

• Your IP address, but never raw — it's hashed with a server-side salt the moment we see it. That hash is what we store, so we can prevent the same person from voting twice on the same poll. We can't reverse the hash to get your IP back, and the hash changes for every different poll, so it can't be used to track you across the site.
• The poll question and options you create, if you create a poll. These are public — anyone with the link can see them.
• The option(s) you vote for. We don't link these to anything identifying about you — they're associated with the per-poll IP hash only.

cookies

We set two cookies, both strictly necessary for the service to work:

• fp_v_<pollId> — remembers that you've voted on a poll, so you can't vote twice even if your IP changes.
• fp_owner_<pollId> — proves you created a poll, so you can close it early.

Both cookies are scoped to that single poll's URL path, are httpOnly (no JavaScript can read them), and self-destruct after 7 days. No tracking cookies, no third-party cookies, no fingerprinting.

how long we keep stuff

• Polls expire after their owner-chosen duration, max 7 days.
• Vote rows live as long as the poll does.
• Rate-limiting counters expire automatically when their hour-long window closes.

third parties

None right now. The site has no analytics, no ad networks, no embedded widgets that phone home. If that ever changes (e.g. we run ads in the slots on the page), you'll see a real consent banner first.

your rights

Because there's no account, no email, and no identifier we can connect you to, there's nothing for us to look up if you ask "what do you have on me?" The honest answer is: a hashed IP, only for as long as the poll you voted in still exists.
