🔒 Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Bored Button LLC ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use RatherVote ("the Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

What We Collect

RatherVote is designed to be lightweight and privacy-friendly. When you vote on a question, we store your IP address in our database solely to prevent duplicate votes. This is functional data, not used for tracking or advertising purposes.

Cookies and Session Data

We use a single session cookie to maintain your voting state during your visit. We do not use advertising cookies or set any tracking cookies of our own beyond those described in this policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data such as pages visited, time spent on the Site, browser type, and general geographic region (country/city level). This data is aggregated and does not personally identify you.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with their Privacy Policy. We use this information solely to understand how visitors interact with the Site and to improve it. We do not share this data with any other third parties.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time by:

• Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
• Enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings (note: effectiveness varies)
• Using a browser extension that blocks analytics scripts

Google Fonts

We load fonts from Google Fonts, which may result in your browser making a request to Google's servers. This may transmit your IP address to Google. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.

Ads (Future)

In the future, we may display advertisements through Google AdSense or a similar platform. These services may use cookies to serve relevant ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You will be able to opt out via standard browser settings or industry opt-out tools such as aboutads.info.

User-Submitted Content

If you submit a question, we store the question text and your IP address. We do not collect your name or email address. Submitted questions are reviewed by our moderation team before appearing publicly on the Site.

Children's Privacy

RatherVote is designed for a general family audience including teens. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We do not require account registration or collect names or email addresses from any users. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. IP addresses used for vote deduplication are stored securely and are not disclosed to outside parties except as required by law.

Data Retention

IP addresses stored for vote deduplication are retained as long as necessary to maintain vote integrity. We do not retain any other personal data beyond what is described in this policy.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the right to access, correct, or delete data we hold about you. Because we collect minimal personal data (IP addresses only) and do not associate it with accounts or identities, most requests can be addressed by contacting us directly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on this page with an updated date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
