privacy

the poll details you enter as a host — a question, options, an optional description, image, or link per option, a deadline, and whether votes are named or anonymous.

votes — which option someone picked (and a rank, if it's a ranked-choice poll), plus an optional display name if the poll isn't anonymous, and an optional comment.

a random voter token is generated in your browser and saved to its local storage so the same browser can update its own vote later — it never leaves your device except as a hash sent along with your vote.

showing the host who voted for what, and letting each voter see and change their own vote before the deadline.

sell your data, run ads against it, or share voter details with anyone outside the poll.

in a private, access-controlled postgres database. each poll's admin, voting, and results pages use a separate, long, unguessable link, so access is controlled by having that link, not an account check. voter and admin tokens are stored only as one-way hashes, never in plain text.

if you open a poll from homebase, your homebase account email is shown in that session's page header only — pickly doesn't store it.

close a poll or remove a vote any time from the admin page. email me if you want something gone for good.
