Security
We want your polls and quizzes to be human only, the following describes how we prevent vote manipulation.
Preventing automated voting
We employ several evolving digital fingerprint technologies which monitor voter trends. In addition to this unusual responses on large polls are flagged and reviewed manually. To this end we collect IP address, browser, referrer and other details which help us to evaluate the authenticity of a response and evaluate trends. The technology behind our voting abuse system remains private. There are several levels of security which may be adjusted by our content creators depending upon their unique requirements.
Information Storage
We store collected information in a secure SQL database and make every effort to ensure security against vulnerabilities. As with any web based platforms there are risks involved in transmitting information and while we undertake considerable effort to ensure security we cannot provide absolute assurance and so we encourage all users to exercise discretion when providing personal information.
