Private by design.

1. Information We Collect

Information you give us, and information we collect when you use the site.

• Your votes: the poll, the option you picked, when, and how many times you moved it.
• Your choices on "I want this" for polls that are coming soon.
• Poll ideas you send through the suggest-a-poll form, including your email if you choose to give it.
• If you buy a sponsor slot: your email, the card you design (brand name, tagline, website, logo and color), the slot you chose, and the status and reference of the payment. Card details go straight to our payment provider and never reach us.
• A scrambled, one-way fingerprint of your IP address, separate for each poll. The address itself is never stored, and the fingerprint cannot be turned back into it.
• A random identifier in a cookie (vw_did) that lets you change or remove your vote later.
• Your country, at country level only, taken from your connection. Never your city, never your address.
• A short "online now" signal: the same random identifier and the time it was last seen.
• Anonymous page-view statistics from Vercel Web Analytics (see Cookies).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use what we collect to:

• Count one vote per person in each poll, and let you move or remove it;
• Show the wall, the standings and the live activity, which include the country of each vote;
• Keep the site fair: rate limits, the human check and removal of votes that look automated;
• Show how many people are online;
• Take sponsor orders, show sponsor cards and contact sponsors about their order;
• Read and answer the ideas and messages you send us;
• Understand how the site is used and keep it fast and online;
• Enforce our Terms of Service and follow the law.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your information and we do not show advertising built on it. We share information only in these cases:

• With the services that run the site: Vercel (hosting and page-view statistics), Supabase (our database), Cloudflare Turnstile (the human check) and Dodo Payments (sponsor payments). They process data only to provide their service to us.
• Logos on the wall are loaded from thesvg.org, so your browser requests them from that site, which can see your IP address and browser type like any website you visit.
• When the law requires it, or to respond to legal process;
• To protect the rights, property or safety of Votewall, our users or the public;
• In a merger, acquisition or sale of assets;
• With your consent or at your direction.

4. Data Security

We protect your information with measures that fit what we hold: IP addresses are stored only as one-way fingerprints, cookies are signed so they cannot be forged, every connection uses HTTPS, and the database accepts connections only from the server. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Data Retention

We keep information only as long as we need it:

• Votes are kept for as long as the poll exists.
• "Online now" signals are deleted after 1 day.
• Daily ranking history used for the movement arrows is deleted after 30 days.
• Poll ideas and contact messages are deleted after 12 months.
• Sponsor orders and payment records are kept as long as we need them for accounting and the law.

6. Your Rights and Choices

You have rights over your personal information:

• Removal: you can remove your vote yourself at any time from the poll page.
• Access, correction and deletion: you can ask us for the information we hold about you, to correct it, or to delete it. Votes are tied to a scrambled fingerprint and a cookie, not to your name, so to find your vote we may need you to use the same browser.
• Portability: you can ask for a copy of your information in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: you can object to how we use your information, or withdraw a consent you gave.

7. Cookies

We use only the cookies the site needs. We set no advertising cookies and run no third-party tracking scripts.

• vw_did: a random, signed identifier that lasts one year. It only tells us "this is the same browser that voted", so you can move or remove your vote.
• vw_hv: a short-lived marker (10 minutes) that remembers you passed the human check, so changing your vote does not ask again.
• The human check is provided by Cloudflare Turnstile, which may set its own technical cookies while it runs.
• Vercel Web Analytics counts page views without using cookies.

8. Third-Party Services

The site contains links to websites and services that we do not own or control, such as sponsor sites and the payment page of Dodo Payments. This Privacy Policy does not apply to them. Please read the privacy policy of any service you use.

9. Children's Privacy

The site is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the new version on this page and change the "Last updated" date (November 13, 2026 at the moment). If you keep using the site after a change, you accept the updated policy.
