Privacy

The short version: we keep as little as we can, for as short a time as we can, and it all deletes itself automatically.

Who we are

Hastech Meet is run by Hastech. Hastech is the controller for the poll information described below.

What we store

• The poll title.
• The candidate days and times the organiser picks.
• The display name each person types (a first name or nickname is all we ask for).
• Which times each person picked.

We also keep secret links (stored only in scrambled, hashed form) so the organiser can close or delete a poll and so you can change your own answer. Anyone with the poll link can see the title, the times, the display names and the picks, so please don't put anything private in them.

What we don't do

• No accounts and no sign-up.
• No cookies.
• No ads.
• No third-party scripts, fonts or trackers on our pages.
• We don't store your IP address or device details with your poll or answers, and we don't sell or share poll information.

To count how the service is doing, we keep simple daily totals: how many polls were made, how many reached three or more people, and how many organisers answered "Yes" to the optional "Made one of these before?" question. That answer is only added to the daily total; it isn't saved with the poll or with anything about you. These are just numbers per day; they are not linked to any poll or person.

What your browser keeps

Nothing here uses cookies. When you answer a poll, your browser's own storage (localStorage) keeps one thing: a private key for that answer, so you can change it later from the same device. Nothing else is kept in your browser. You can clear it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

The "What's next?" ideas

After the best time is found, you can type your town to get ideas such as booking a table or finding a cinema. The town is typed by you, stays in your browser and is not sent to us or stored by us. It is only placed into the links you choose to open.

These links are ordinary web searches, and Hastech earns nothing from them. They take you to other websites, which have their own privacy policies. We don't add tracking codes to them.

How long we keep it

Polls are deleted automatically 30 days after the last date in the poll. Every answer on a poll is deleted with it. Expired polls can no longer be opened, and they are removed from our database at the next automatic clean-up. The organiser can delete a poll and all its answers sooner, at any time, using their organiser link.

Asking us to delete something

If you want your answer removed and can't change it yourself, ask the organiser, or contact Hastech at hsc8fcx9@mail.grokbot.com. You can use the same address for any questions about this page. Tell us the poll link and the display name to remove.

Where it is stored

Polls are stored with Cloudflare, which hosts this service for us.
