Terms of Service

poll2go is an online polling platform operated by the individual or entity identified in our Imprint (Impressum). poll2go acts as an intermediary and hosting service within the meaning of the Digital Services Act (EU Regulation 2022/2065).

For questions about these terms, contact us at: privacy@poll2go.com

You agree to use poll2go only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms. Specifically, the following are prohibited:

• Polls must contain lawful content only. You may not create polls that solicit, promote, or facilitate illegal activity.
• You may not impersonate another person, brand, or organisation in a poll question, option text, or poll title.
• You may not create polls designed to harass, bully, intimidate, or target individuals or groups.
• You may not use poll2go to send unsolicited bulk communications (spam) or to harvest email addresses.
• You may not create polls that contain child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that exploits or harms minors.
• You may not use poll2go to spread disinformation or manipulate public discourse in a manner prohibited by applicable law.
• You may not use automated tools, bots, or scripts to create polls or cast votes in ways that circumvent our fraud-prevention measures.
• You must not attempt to circumvent, bypass, or disable any security or anti-fraud mechanism of the platform.

Poll content (questions, answer options, and any associated text) must comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction and in the jurisdiction of your intended audience.

You are solely responsible for the content you create. poll2go does not pre-screen poll content, but we reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law, including at the request of competent authorities.

Content that is particularly likely to be removed includes content that is illegal under EU law or the laws of Austria, including but not limited to: hate speech, incitement to violence, terrorist content, CSAM, content that infringes intellectual property rights, and content that violates privacy rights.

To create polls, you must register for a creator account using a valid email address. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under your account.

You agree to provide accurate information during registration and to keep your contact email current. We may use your email to send important service notifications.

Voting does not require an account. However, to prevent duplicate votes and ensure the integrity of poll results, we collect certain technical identifiers (IP address hash, browser fingerprint hash, and a session cookie) after you provide explicit consent.

By casting a vote after providing consent, you agree that this limited technical data may be processed for fraud prevention. See our Privacy Policy for full details.

If we determine that content or conduct violates these Terms, we may take one or more of the following actions:

• Poll removal: We may remove or disable access to any poll that violates these Terms, without prior notice in urgent cases.
• Account suspension: We may temporarily or permanently suspend a creator account, preventing the creation of new polls.
• Account termination: In serious or repeated cases, we may permanently terminate an account and delete associated data.
• Referral to authorities: Where required by law or where content constitutes a serious criminal offence, we may forward information to competent law enforcement or regulatory authorities.

We aim to act proportionately. Where it is safe and practical to do so, we will notify the affected creator before taking action, except where doing so would prejudice an ongoing investigation or where immediate action is necessary to prevent harm.

If we take action against your content or account, you have the right to appeal that decision. To submit an appeal, please email:

Please include in your appeal: your account email, the action taken, the reason you believe the action was incorrect, and any supporting information. We will aim to respond within 14 days.

For communications from EU Member State authorities, the European Commission, or the European Board for Digital Services regarding compliance with the Digital Services Act, please contact:

This contact address may also be used by users and other parties for inquiries related to these Terms, content moderation, and the notice-and-action mechanism.

If you encounter content on poll2go that you believe is illegal, you can report it using our content report form:

We will review all reports and respond with a reasoned decision. You will receive an automatic acknowledgement email on submission and a decision email once we have reviewed your report, in accordance with DSA Art. 16(5).

poll2go and its original design, features, and functionality are owned by the operator and are protected by applicable intellectual property law. You may not copy, modify, or distribute any part of the platform without express written permission.

By creating a poll, you represent that you own or have the right to use all content you submit, and you grant poll2go a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and display that content for the purposes of operating the service.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, poll2go and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform, including but not limited to loss of data, loss of revenue, or loss of goodwill.

Our aggregate liability to you for any claim arising out of these Terms shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim (which for free-tier users is zero). Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud, personal injury caused by negligence, or any other liability that cannot be excluded by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Austria. Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of Austria, unless mandatory consumer protection law in your jurisdiction requires otherwise.

poll2go is currently provided as a beta service. By creating an account or using poll2go during the beta period, you acknowledge and accept the following:

• As-is availability: The service is provided "as is" during the beta period. Features, interfaces, and functionality may change at any time without prior notice.
• Feature changes and removal: Features available during beta may be modified, replaced, or permanently removed before or after the general release of poll2go.
• Data loss risk: We may reset, migrate, or delete data (including polls, results, and account information) during the beta period. You should not rely on poll2go as the sole or authoritative record of any data.
• No uptime guarantee: poll2go makes no commitment to availability, uptime, or response time during the beta period. The service may be interrupted, suspended, or taken offline without notice for maintenance, infrastructure changes, or other operational reasons.

The limitations in this section supplement the Limitation of Liability in Section 11 and apply specifically to the beta period. Once poll2go exits beta, a revised version of these Terms will be published.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where possible, notify registered creators by email. Your continued use of poll2go after a change constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

Your use of poll2go is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
