- Poll/Decision Content: Questions, options, pros/cons, comments, and votes you create or submit.
Information Collected Automatically

- Cookies: We use a single cookie (
siono_name) to remember your display name so you do not have to re-enter it. This cookie is stored locally on your device.
Location Data
- Optional Location: If you choose to attach a location to a poll/decision, we use the Google Maps Places API to search for places. Google's privacy policy applies to this service.
- Browser Geolocation: If you choose to use the "Show distance" feature, your browser will ask for permission. This location data is used only for distance calculation and is not stored on our servers.
