Privacy policy

Last updated: 2026-11-11

Contact details haven’t been set up yet, so there’s currently no way to reach the operator through this site.

The short version: this service needs no account and doesn’t collect email addresses, phone numbers or real names. Anyone with a poll link can see every participant’s nickname and the dates or times they picked. Use a nickname, and don’t use an important password.

Who collects the data

DayPoll is run by (operator name not set up yet) (“we”). Contact: (contact details not set up yet)

Why we collect it

• To run availability polls: letting people mark the days or times they’re free and working out the overlap.
• To prevent abuse: limiting how many actions one source can take in a short time and, when needed, checking that you’re a real person.
• To see whether anyone uses the service: we only keep anonymous daily totals (see below).

What we store

For each poll:

• The poll title, the date range, and when the poll was created and last updated.
• For polls that ask about times: the daily time window, the slot length, and the poll’s time zone (taken from the creator’s browser).
• A hash of the admin token (not the token itself).

For each participant:

• The name (nickname) you enter, the dates or times you pick, and when your entry was created and last updated.
• If you set a password: a salted hash of it. We don’t store the password itself.

Anonymous daily counts, for example how many times the home page was opened today, how many polls were created, how many people joined and how many times the copy link button was pressed. These are counts only, with no names, poll content, IP addresses or anything else that could identify you.

Our database doesn’t store IP addresses.

Who can see it

• Anyone with a poll link can see every nickname in that poll and the dates or times each person picked.
• On a poll that asks about times, the poll’s time zone is shown to everyone who opens it.
• If a nickname has no password, anyone with the link can use the same name to change its choices.
• Whoever has the admin link (usually the person who created the poll) can change the poll settings and remove participants.
• We don’t sell the data or give it to anyone else, unless the law requires it.

Data stored in your browser

So you don’t have to type things in again next time, the page uses your browser’s localStorage to remember:

• The admin token for polls you created.
• The nickname and password you used in a poll. Note: this password is stored in plain text in your own browser, so other people using the same device may be able to see it.
• Your language choice, saved when you switch languages at the bottom of the page or create a poll from the Chinese home page.

This data stays in your browser and is deleted when you clear the site’s data in your browser. The service itself doesn’t use cookies.

Third parties that handle data

• Cloudflare hosts the website and the database. Handling your connection involves your IP address. Rate limiting temporarily uses your IP address as the basis for counting, without writing it to our database. Cloudflare’s logs briefly keep basic information about each request (such as the time and the URL, possibly including your IP address). They’re deleted automatically after a few days, depending on the plan, and are used to troubleshoot problems.
• Google Fonts: the page’s heading font is loaded from Google, so Google receives your browser’s IP address.
• Cloudflare Turnstile (only if we turn it on): used to check that you’re a real person when you create a poll. It runs Cloudflare’s verification code in your browser.

Each of these services handles data under its own privacy policy. Cloudflare has data centers around the world, so data may be processed or stored outside Taiwan.

How long we keep it

• Polls and responses: deleted automatically 60 days after the poll’s end date. After that, the poll can no longer be opened.
• Anonymous daily counts: counts only, kept long term.
• Data stored in your browser: until you clear it yourself.

Your rights

Under Article 3 of Taiwan’s Personal Data Protection Act, you can, for your data:

• Ask about it or ask to see it.
• Ask for a copy.
• Ask us to add to it or correct it.
• Ask us to stop collecting, processing or using it.
• Ask us to delete it.

How: email (contact details not set up yet) with the poll link and your nickname. Because there are no accounts, the link and nickname are the only way we can find your data, and we can’t confirm that you’re the person it belongs to, so we may ask you to explain. You can also clear all the dates or times you picked yourself, or ask the person who created the poll to remove you.

Visitors from the EU and UK

If you’re in the European Union or the United Kingdom:

• Who is responsible: (operator name not set up yet) decides how the data described on this page is used (the data controller). Contact: (contact details not set up yet)
• What is processed and why: the name, dates or times and optional password hash you submit, to run the poll you take part in; if you create a poll that asks about times, your browser’s time zone, stored with the poll so everyone sees the times in that zone; your IP address, used briefly to handle your connection and for rate limiting, and not written to our database (Cloudflare’s logs keep it briefly, as described above); and anonymous daily counts, to see whether the service is used. Your browser’s language setting is used only to choose which language to show, and isn’t written to our database. On a poll that asks about times, your browser’s time zone is compared with the poll’s on your device only, to tell you if they differ, and isn’t sent to us.
• Where: the data is processed and stored on Cloudflare’s infrastructure, which may be outside your country, including outside the EU and UK. The heading font is loaded from Google Fonts, so Google also receives your IP address.
• How long: see “How long we keep it” above.
• Access or deletion: write to us as described on the contact page, with the poll link and your nickname. As above, because there are no accounts we can’t confirm that you’re the person the data belongs to, so we may ask you to explain.
• Complaints: you can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.

If you don’t provide data

To fill in a poll you have to enter a name. Without one, you can’t take part. It doesn’t need to be your real name; a nickname is fine. The password is optional. You can take part without one, but then others can change your choices under the same name.

Changes to this policy

When this policy changes, we’ll update this page and the “Last updated” date above.
