Privacy by design

Privacy

Last updated: August 19, 2026

We designed this site to collect as little information as practical. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, street address, party membership, or voter-registration information.

What the poll stores

When you respond, the poll database stores:

• your answer (“yes” or “no”);
• the date and time of the response; and
• a one-way cryptographic hash of a random browser identifier.

The browser identifier is stored in a first-party, strictly necessary cookie for up to one year. It is used only to limit repeat responses from the same browser. The database stores the hash, not the cookie value itself. Your browser also stores your selected answer locally so the page can remember that you already responded. Clearing site data removes these browser-side records.

Hosting and technical logs

Cloudflare hosts the site and may process standard request data such as your IP address, device and browser information, requested URL, and request time to deliver and secure the service. Cloudflare Turnstile also checks whether a response appears to come from a person before the poll accepts it. We do not add third-party advertising pixels or behavioural analytics. Cloudflare’s own processing is governed by its privacy policy and service terms. The site loads typefaces from Google Fonts; Google may receive standard request data such as your IP address and browser information when those files are requested.

How information is used

Poll data is used to calculate the public aggregate tally, limit repeat responses, maintain security, and investigate obvious abuse. We do not sell poll responses, use them to build advertising profiles, or disclose individual responses to a candidate or political party.

Retention and deletion

Aggregate and response records may be kept while the project remains online and for a reasonable period afterward for integrity and archival purposes. Because no contact details are collected and the stored identifier is one-way hashed, we generally cannot identify or retrieve one person’s response for deletion.

Not a secret ballot

This is an informal website tally, not an election. Although the site minimizes the information it stores, no Internet service can promise absolute anonymity or security. Do not submit a response if you are not comfortable with the practices described here.
