Who We Are

Plotty is part of Switch-to.eu, a European initiative building privacy-first digital tools. We're committed to creating scheduling software that respects your privacy and operates under European data protection standards.

What Data We Collect

We collect only the minimum data necessary to provide our scheduling service:

Poll Information

Event title, description, location, selected dates and times you provide when creating polls

Participant Responses

Names and availability selections provided by poll participants

Technical Information

Basic server logs for security and performance monitoring (no personal identification)

What We Don't Collect

No email addresses, no IP tracking, no behavioral analytics, no advertising profiles, no cookies for tracking

How We Protect Your Data

Client-Side Encryption

All poll data is encrypted in your browser using AES-256-GCM before transmission. We use the WebCrypto API for secure, client-side encryption.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

The encryption key never reaches our servers. We cannot decrypt or access your poll content - only you and people with the poll link can view the data.

European Infrastructure

All data is stored on European servers under strict European data protection laws. Your data never leaves European jurisdiction.

Technical Security

HTTPS encryption, secure database connections, regular security updates, and minimal data retention policies.

Data Retention

Automatic Deletion

All poll data is automatically deleted 30 days after the event date. This includes all participant responses and poll details.

Immediate Deletion

Poll creators can delete their polls instantly at any time using the admin link.

Technical Logs

Anonymous server logs are retained for 7 days for security monitoring, then automatically deleted.

Third-Party Services

European Hosting

Hosted on European servers with GDPR-compliant infrastructure providers.

No Third-Party Tracking

We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook pixels, advertising networks, or any tracking services.

Open Source Dependencies

Built using open-source libraries that don't collect personal data.

Your Rights

Right to Access

You can view all your poll data through the poll and admin links.

Right to Deletion

Delete your polls instantly using the admin link, or wait for automatic deletion after 30 days.

Data Portability

Export your poll data as JSON through the admin interface.

No Consent Required

Since we use client-side encryption and don't track users, no consent is required for our minimal data processing.

International Data Transfers

Data Stays in Europe

Your encrypted data never leaves European servers. All processing occurs within the European Union under GDPR protection.
