Protecting privacy is our top priority. To ensure this, we securely encrypt all IP addresses collected during polls and store them in our database. For legal purposes, we temporarily maintain the plain-text IP address of the poll creator, but this is done for a limited time only. We strongly advise you to consider the consequences before entering any personal information of others in a poll. Rising Poll does not tolerate any form of bullying, harassment, or spreading of false information.

Our website pages include the option to share content on various social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit. This feature is enabled by a custom tool that is created in-house and integrates share buttons. The connection between the social networks and the users is only established when the user clicks on one of these buttons.
This tool does not automatically transfer any user data to the social network providers.
