An anonymous poll maker where votes can’t be traced back.
Create an anonymous voting poll in under a minute. No accounts, no email, and no IP stored on a response. Share a QR code or link. People scan, answer, and stay anonymous.

How the anonymity actually works
No vague promises. Here is exactly what is (and isn’t) stored when someone votes.
No account to vote
Voters scan and answer. No sign-up, no email, no login. There is no user record attached to a response.
Your IP is never stored
The server uses your IP only momentarily to rate-limit abuse, then drops it. It is never written to your response or anywhere we can read it back.
No identifier on the answer
A stored response is just your answers, a timestamp, a coarse device type, and a referrer. No name, no IP, no cookie, no device fingerprint.
Results are private to the creator
Only the poll owner sees results, and the dashboard shows aggregates. Nobody can reverse-engineer who said what.
Are pulse surveys really anonymous?
Usually not. It depends on the tool. Most pulse-survey and polling tools attach your account, email, or IP address to each response, which means answers can be traced back to you. A survey is only anonymous when the tool never stores anything that identifies you in the first place.
That is the bar QR Poll is built to clear. When someone answers a QR Poll, the saved response contains only the choices they made, a timestamp, a coarse device type (mobile/desktop/tablet), and the page they came from. There is no account, no email address, no IP address, and no device fingerprint on the response. Your IP is used for a moment to rate-limit abuse and then dropped. It is never written anywhere tied to your answer.
The one honest caveat: anonymity and ballot-stuffing are different problems. Because we store nothing that identifies a voter, the only guard against answering twice is a flag kept in the voter’s own browser (easy to clear, and not fraud prevention). Votes always count, so read results as a trend, not a strict one-person-one-vote tally.

Common questions about anonymous polling
Are pulse surveys really anonymous?
It depends entirely on the tool. Most attach your account, email, or IP address to each answer, so responses can be traced back to you. That is not truly anonymous. A survey is only anonymous if the tool never stores anything that identifies you. QR Poll stores no account, no email, no IP, and no device fingerprint on a response.
Is QR Poll really anonymous?
Yes, by default. Voting needs no account and no email. We do not store your IP address or a device fingerprint on your response. Each saved answer is just the choices you made, a timestamp, a coarse device type (mobile/desktop), and the referring page. Nothing links it back to you. If you want attribution, the creator can add an optional name field, but that is opt-in.
Does the poll creator see who voted?
No. Creators see aggregate results only. Individual responses carry no account, email, or IP, so authorship cannot be worked out from them.
Can I stop people voting more than once?
Not fully. Votes always count. A flag stored in the voter’s own browser quietly skips the form if that browser already answered, but clearing site data or switching devices lets them answer again. It is light friction for honest users, not fraud prevention, so read totals as a guide rather than one-per-person.
Do you sell or share the data?
No. The data goes to the poll creator. There is no voter profile to sell because we never collect one.
