Privacy Policy

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

• Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide our Service to you
• Legitimate Interests: Processing for our legitimate business interests, such as improving our Service and preventing fraud
• Consent: Where you have provided explicit consent for specific processing activities
• Legal Obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information in the following circumstances:

We retain your information for as long as necessary to provide our Service and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

• Account Data: Retained while your account is active and for a reasonable period thereafter
• Widget Response Data: Retained according to your account settings or until you request deletion
• Log Data: Generally retained for up to 12 months for security and analytics purposes

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest
• Regular security assessments and penetration testing
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms
• Employee training on data protection practices
• Incident response procedures

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

PollCatch is based in the United States. If you access our Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

For transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, we rely on:

• Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
• Other lawful transfer mechanisms as appropriate

Our Service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately at privacy@pollcatch.com, and we will take steps to delete such information.

Website owners using PollCatch widgets are responsible for ensuring compliance with children's privacy laws (such as COPPA) on their own websites.
