Terms

mapbasedpolls lets you answer a question as a country, then see how other countries answered. You can also publish a poll and leave a short comment. We can change, pause, or remove polls and features.

Nothing on the map is a public vote, a referendum, a poll for a news organisation, or a prediction market. Percentages move as people vote. They are not a forecast and they are not advice about money, politics, health, or the law.

You get one vote per poll for each browser. The vote counts for the country you confirm. Pick the country you mean. Do not script votes, rotate cookies to stack a country, or pretend to be a place you are not trying to speak for.

A vote is final in the product: there is no edit button. Clearing cookies starts a new browser id and can let that browser vote again. Doing that to distort a result breaks these terms, and we may drop those votes or the poll.

Questions can be 4 to 83 characters, with two to eight options. Comments can be up to 500 characters and cannot contain links. A new poll stays off the map until an admin approves it. After that, the question, the options, the country totals, and the comment text with a short anonymous label are public.

You keep responsibility for what you write. Do not post anything you do not have the right to post. Do not include anyone’s name, contact details, or other personal data. The rules say what we remove.

Do not:

• break the law or tell other people to
• harass, threaten, or target a person
• post sexual content involving anyone under 18
• spam, scrape in a way that overloads the site, or attack it
• try to read another person’s voter id or their cookies

New polls are reviewed before they go on the map. We may remove a poll, an option, a comment, or a vote, and we may ban an account that breaks these terms or the rules, or that we cannot host.

Log in and sign up are optional. An account stores an email and a username so votes from this browser can follow you. You can keep voting without one. Passwords are stored as a hash by the database host, described in the privacy policy.

The map, the totals, and the uptime are provided as they are. Country detection can be wrong. Totals can lag. A poll can be unbalanced because anyone can vote. We do not guarantee that the site will be available, accurate, or fit for a particular purpose.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss that comes from using the site, relying on a total, or from content another person posted. Nothing here limits liability that the law says cannot be limited, including liability for fraud or for death or injury caused by negligence.

These terms follow the laws of Poland. If you live somewhere else and a mandatory consumer rule there gives you more protection, that rule still applies. Courts in Poland hear disputes, except where the law says you may sue at home.
