Privacy by design
The private photo poll
PicJury is built for quick questions like "which photo?" among friends, family or a small team. The safest data is data we never collect, so PicJury asks for as little as it can.
What you never have to give us
- An account. Creating a poll and voting work without signing up. Sign in only if you want your polls on every device.
- Your name or email. Voters stay anonymous to us.
- Your raw IP address. We store it only as a one-way hash.
What we keep, and why
- The poll: question, photos, optional labels and votes.
- A random device ID and a hashed IP, so one person cannot vote a hundred times.
- An email or Telegram chat only if you ask us to send you the result, deleted once it is sent.
Who can see a poll
Polls are unlisted. Only people with the link can open them, and search engines do not index them. A link can be forwarded, so do not upload confidential or intimate photos.
How long we keep it
You can delete a poll and its photos at any time from your private link. Expired polls are deleted after 30 days. Short-lived infrastructure backups may last a little longer.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to see how PicJury is used and to fix bugs. They never collect names, emails or passwords, and in Europe they run only after you allow cookies. You can block them and PicJury keeps working.
Private for voters, fair for organizers
- One vote per person without accounts: a device ID plus a hashed IP stop repeat votes.
- A bot check keeps automated votes out.
- Running a contest? The Contest pack hides totals until the announcement, allows one vote a day and gives you a vote integrity report.
