POLLMEA is designed to be fast and easy to use. No account, no payments, no restrictions.
This tool is intended primarily for communities in which there is trust. For example, for friends, work teams, school groups, etc.
We do not require account creation.
But this means that we don't know who the author of the poll is. If he/she changes devices/internet browsers, we cannot provide him/her with a complete list of his/her polls.
All active polls are securely stored in the cloud, but we only maintain a list of polls on the device/browser where the polls are created. For example, if an author creates a poll on a mobile phone, he/she will not find that particular poll in the list of polls on his/her PC.
Fortunately, we have a feature that allows the author to change devices/browsers.
If the author intends to work with his polls on another device/browser, he/she can transfer a poll or the entire list of polls to poll list on another device/browser. The transfer function is accessible in the poll list and Poll details of a particular poll.
If the author is working with POLLMEA in an internet browser, it is perfectly fine to simply use the Poll details page address of the particular poll for the transfer.
Also, not having an account means we don't know who voted. If a participant accidentally changes a browser or device, he/she can vote more than once. That would not be good for important polls.
For such polls, the author should make sure to leave the “Require names of participants” setting turned on when creating the poll so that he/she can correct the poll results if necessary.
POLLMEA is free, we do not require any payments. However, operation costs something.
Data will not be stored in POLLMEA forever, they will be deleted after a few months.
The author of the poll should make sure to read the results of the poll before the poll is deleted.
Your privacy is important to us.
We do not collect any data about you or your device.
We do not use cross-site or cross-device tracking.
We do not use non-essential cookies.
Basically, we don't know anything about you.
Now you know how it works. If you like it, don't hesitate to try POLLMEA. We hope it helps you in some way.
