We are not an evil data leech; we do not pass on personal data for enrichment. Only with our ISO 27001 certified server providers and payment and error analysis service we share the minimum data necessary to provide a stable service. We finance ourselves 100% through non-personalized advertising and our paid plans. You can find more information in our \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/privacy\"\u003eprivacy policy\u003c/a\u003e and in the Data Processing Addendum in your account settings.\r\n\r\nPollUnit is a tool for consultation and collaboration. The contents and contact information of your PollUnit can therefore be shared among the participants who have access to your PollUnit. Which information is made accessible can be determined by the creator (i.e. our contractual partner) himself in the settings of the respective PollUnit. What kind of data you collect or which contents and information you share with your team or participants is your responsibility. You can also deposit your \u003ca href=\"https://pollunit.com/en/posts/69/create-photo-contests-with-imprint-and-terms\"\u003eown imprint\u003c/a\u003e and inform your participants about the nature and purpose of the PollUnit and thus conduct a legally compliant online poll.\r\n\r\n\u003ci\u003eIn order to conclude the data processing addendum, you need a PollUnit Business account.
