Poll Policy

⦿  All 'PUBLIC' polls must be written in only 'ENGLISH' language.

⦿  'PUBLIC' polls must not contain any material which can be categorised as any of these -

•  Obscene or Sexual
•  Distressing or threatening
•  Offensive or Hateful to a group
•  Offensive or Hateful to public figures
•  Offensive or Hateful to a belief
•  Severely disgusting and distasteful
•  False and Misleading information
•  Against government policy
•  Malicious or harmful script
•  Meaningless or gibberish content

⦿  We check new 'PUBLIC' polls and 'GUEST' polls randomly on daily basis. If found anything like above we will remove the poll. We will also mark the user (if available) for policy violation or permanently block the account.

⦿  Generally 'PRIVATE' polls are not subjected for any scrutiny. But if a user raises concern about the content of a 'PRIVATE' poll, we will treat the 'PRIVATE' poll as a 'PUBLIC' poll and all 'PUBLIC' poll policies will be applicable to that 'PRIVATE' poll.

⦿  'GUEST' Polls which could not collect more than ONE vote in 90 days from its creation will be deleted by our system automatically.

⦿  'GUEST' Polls which match the previous criteria but have the potential of being 'PUBLIC' will be assigned to NetPoll's PollHub account with the proper category so those polls can get better responses.

⦿  Do not link copyright protected images on either 'PUBLIC' or 'PRIVATE' polls. We do not take any responsibility if a user commits such copyright violation. We can only remove the image link if the image owner complains with proof of ownership.

⦿  Our polls do not guarantee 100% accurate data. So using any information for academic or scientific use is totally discouraged. Use poll statistics with your own responsibility. Neither NetPoll and it's services nor the creator of the poll can be held accountable.

⦿  NetPoll uses cookie based voting system. We take no responsibility if someone uses any client-side script or third party software to manipulate the results.

#All Above policies are also applied to quizzes.
