Polly is a community voting platform. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and what we do with it.

What we collect:

When you sign in with Discord, X, or Google, we receive your username and a unique identifier from that platform. We store these to identify you across sessions, link you to communities you join, and connect you to polls you register for or vote in. We do not receive or store your password, phone number, or private messages from any platform.

When you join a community, we record your membership, which community you joined and when.

When you register for a poll, we record that you registered.

When you vote, we generate a cryptographic hash derived from your platform identity and the poll ID. This hash is not your name or username, it’s what gets recorded on the blockchain. Your identity is not publicly visible on-chain. Your vote choice is never stored in a way that links it to your identity.

What we do not collect:

We do not collect payment information. We do not run advertising. We do not sell data. We do not track you across other websites or apps.

How we use your data:

Your data is used solely to operate the platform,  to verify you are a real person, to manage community membership, to ensure you can only vote once per poll, and to show admins participation statistics. Admins can see who has registered and voted, but never who voted for what.

Community membership:

When you join a community on Polly, the community admin can see your username and the platform you signed in with. They cannot see your vote choices.

Data retention:

Your account data is retained until you delete your account. Deleting your account removes your user record, your community memberships, and your poll registrations. Votes that have been confirmed on-chain cannot be deleted, the blockchain is permanent by design, but your on-chain data is a hash with no direct link to your identity.

Third parties:

We use Supabase for our database and authentication infrastructure. We use the Polygon blockchain for vote recording. We do not share your data with any other third parties.
