Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 11, 2026

SplitPoll (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the SplitPoll website and related services (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Service.

Operator: SplitPoll, a sole proprietorship located in Massachusetts, United States.

Contact: splitpolladmin@gmail.com

By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Account and profile data

When you create an account, we collect information you provide or that is necessary to operate the Service, which may include:

  • Email address and authentication credentials (processed by our authentication and database providers).
  • Public profile details you choose to provide, such as display name and handle.
  • Settings and preferences you configure in the product.

We do not collect payment card or other payment instrument data. The Service does not process purchases through SplitPoll at this time.

1.2 Demographic information

You may voluntarily provide demographic information (for example, gender, age or birth year, or country) to improve poll breakdowns and product features. Depending on your settings, portions of this information may influence how results are displayed to you or others. See Section 5 (Your choices).

1.3 Votes, content, and activity

We collect information about your use of the Service, including:

  • Polls you create, votes you cast, and commentary or other content you submit.
  • Interactions with feeds, notifications, search, and other features.
  • Technical and operational logs associated with your session.

1.4 Vote fingerprinting and IP hashing

To protect voting integrity, detect abuse, and limit duplicate or automated voting, we may derive and store technical fingerprints associated with votes or sessions (for example, browser or device signals combined in a hashed or pseudonymous form).

We may also process IP addresses in a hashed or truncated form (or otherwise minimize raw retention) for security, fraud prevention, rate limiting, and approximate location at a coarse level where needed. We do not use IP addresses for targeted advertising on behalf of third-party advertisers through SplitPoll.

2. How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • Provide, maintain, secure, and improve the Service.
  • Personalize content and demographic breakdowns in line with your settings and product design.
  • Communicate with you about the Service, security, and (where permitted) product updates.
  • Enforce our Terms of Service and respond to legal requests.
  • Analyze aggregate or de-identified usage to understand performance and plan improvements.

We do not sell your personal information as a list of individuals to third parties for their independent marketing.

3. Beta period — automated accounts

During the beta period, SplitPoll operates approximately one hundred fifty (150) automated accounts (“beta bots”) that may vote and comment on content to simulate activity, test features, and improve the product.

  • Demographic breakdowns: Votes cast by beta bots are excluded from demographic breakdowns and similar aggregate splits that are intended to reflect human respondents.
  • Live launch: All content associated with beta bots (including votes and comments) is intended to be removed when the Service transitions to general availability (“live launch”), subject to technical and legal constraints (for example, backups or legal hold).

This beta practice is disclosed here and in our Terms of Service. If you have questions, contact us at the email above.

4. Third-party services

We rely on service providers to host and operate the Service. They process information on our behalf according to their own terms and privacy policies. Non-exhaustive examples include:

  • Supabase — authentication, database, and related backend services.
  • Vercel — hosting, deployment, and edge infrastructure.
  • Google Analytics — aggregate usage and performance insights (not used to sell your personal data).

We may add or change subprocessors as the Service evolves. Use of the Service may be subject to the applicable terms of these providers.

5. Your choices and controls

Where available in the product, you may control settings such as:

  • Anonymous voting — reduce or limit association of certain votes with your public identity where the feature is supported.
  • Show votes publicly — manage whether your votes are visible to others as permitted by the Service.
  • Show demographics publicly — manage whether demographic attributes you provide may appear in public breakdowns.

You may also update or delete certain profile information, and you may request account deletion where offered. Some information may be retained as described in Section 6.

6. Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Specific retention periods may depend on the type of data and legal requirements. Backup systems may retain copies for a limited period after deletion.

Beta bot data is intended to be removed at live launch as described in Section 3.

7. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

9. Cookies and local storage

We and our analytics providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to maintain sessions, remember preferences, measure aggregate usage, and improve the Service. You may control cookies through your browser settings; disabling certain technologies may limit functionality.

10. International users

If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States and other locations where we or our providers operate.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy, to the extent permitted by law.

12. Governing law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where preempted by applicable federal law or mandatory consumer protections in your jurisdiction.
