Privacy Policy

Thank you for using Vote Frenzy! We wrote this policy to help you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. Because we’re an internet company, some of the concepts below are a little technical, but we’ve tried our best to explain things in a simple and clear way. We welcome your questions and comments on this policy.

What information do we collect?

We collect information in two ways:

1. When you give it to us or give us permission to obtain it.

When you sign up for or use our products, you voluntarily give us certain information. This can include your name, profile photo, polls,comments, likes, phone number, email address you used to sign up, and any other information you provide us. If you’re using Vote Frenzy on your mobile device, you can also choose to provide us with location data.

You also may give us permission to access your information in other services. For example, you may link your Facebook or Twitter account to Vote Frenzy, which allows us to obtain information from those accounts (e.g., your friends or contacts). The information we obtain from those services often depends on your settings or their privacy policies, so be sure to check what those are.

2. We also get technical information when you use our products or use websites or apps that have Vote Frenzy features.

These days, whenever you use a website, mobile application, or other Internet service, there’s certain information that almost always gets created and recorded automatically. The same is true when you use our products. Here are some of the types of information we collect:

Log Data. When you use Vote Frenzy or go to a webpage or use an app that has Vote Frenzy features, our serversautomatically record information (“log data”) including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you’re using it. This log data may include your Internet Protocol address, the address of the web pages you visited that had Vote Frenzy features, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used Vote Frenzy, and cookie data.

Cookie data. Depending on how you’re accessing our products, we may use “cookies” (a small text file sent by your computer each time you visit our website, unique to your Vote Frenzy account or your browser), or similar technologies to record log data. When we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). For example, we may use cookies to store your language preferences or other Vote Frenzy settings so you don‘t have to set them up every time you visit Vote Frenzy. Some of the cookies we use are associated with your Vote Frenzy account (including personal information about you, such as the email address you gave us), and other cookies are not.

Device Information. In addition to log data, we may also collect information about the device you’re using Vote Frenzy on, including what type of device it is, what operating system you’re using, device settings, unique device identifiers, and crash data. Whether we collect some or all of this information often depends on what type of device you’re using and its settings. For example, different types of information are available depending on whether you’reusing a Mac or a PC, or an iPhone or an Android phone. To learn more about what information your device makes available to us, please also check the policies of your device manufacturer or software provider.

How do we use the information we collect?

We use the information we collect to provide our products to you and make them better, develop new products, and protect Vote Frenzy and our users. For example, we may log how often people use two different versions of a product, which can help us understand which version is better.

We also use the information we collect to offer you customized content, including:

Suggesting polls or users you might like. For example, if you’ve indicated that you’re interested in cooking orvisited sporting websites that has Vote Frenzy features, we may suggest food-related polls, or people that we thinkyou might like;

Showing you ads you might be interested in.

We also use the information we collect to:

Send you updates (such as when certain activity, like or comments, happens on Vote Frenzy),newsletters, marketing materials and other information that may be of interest to you. For example, depending on your email notification settings, we may send you weekly updates that include polls you may like. You can decide to stop getting these updates by updating your account settings (or through other settings we may provide).

Help your friends and contacts find you on Vote Frenzy. For example, if you sign up using a Facebook account, we may help your Facebook friends find your account on Vote Frenzy when they first sign up for Vote Frenzy. Or, we may allow people to search for your account on Vote Frenzy using your email address.

Respond to your questions or comments.

The information we collect may be “personally identifiable” (meaning it can be used to specifically identify you as a unique person) or “non-personally identifiable” (meaning it can’t be used to specifically identify you). We use both types of information, and combinations of both types, as described above. We may use or store information wherever Vote Frenzy does business, including countries outside your own.

What choices do you have about your information?

Our goal is to give you simple and meaningful choices over your information. If you have a Vote Frenzy account, many of the choices you have on Vote Frenzy are built directly in to the product or your account settings. For example, you can:

Access and change information in your profile page at any time, Link or unlink your Vote Frenzy account from an account on another service (e.g., Facebook or Twitter). For some services (like Facebook), you can also choose whether or not to publish your activity on Vote Frenzy to that service.

Select the Private Mode feature so only those you are following and friends can see your profile and make comments on your polls. Close your account at any time. When you close your account, we’ll deactivate it and remove your polls from Vote Frenzy. We may retain archived copies of your information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes (including to help address fraud and spam).
Your mobile device may provide you with choices around how and whether location or other data is shared with us.

To learn more about these choices, please see the information provided by the device or software provider.

How do we share the information we collect?

Vote Frenzy is a tool people use to interact about opinions and issues, make their thoughts a reality, and inspire others in the process. When you create public polls, anyone can view them. You may also provide us with profile page information that that anyone can view. The other limited instances where we may share your personal information include:

When we have your consent. This includes sharing information with other services (like Facebook or Twitter) when you’ve chosen to link to your Vote Frenzy account to those services or publish your activity on Vote Frenzy to them. For example, you can choose to publish your polls to Facebook or Twitter.

We may employ third party companies or individuals to process personal information on our behalf based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy. For example, we may share data with a security consultant to help us get better at identifying spam or with our accountants to make sure we’re keeping the books right. In addition, third party providers may collect some of the information we request on our behalf. If we believe that disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with a law, regulation or legal request; to protect the safety, rights, or property of the public, any person, or Vote Frenzy; or to detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues.

We may engage in a merger, acquisition, bankruptcy, dissolution, reorganization, or similar transaction or proceeding that involves the transfer of the information described in this Policy.

We may also share aggregated or non-personally identifiable information with our partners or others. For example,we may tell a business using Vote Frenzy how many people voted on something they shared, or the percentage of people who click on an ad after viewing it.
