Swallow Poll

Online poll maker? Yes, and for free.

Swallow Poll is designed to be fast and easy to use. No account, no payments, no restrictions.

We do not require account creation.

But this means that we do not know who the author of the poll is and we cannot provide him/her with a list of his/her polls. We leave it up to him/her to create such a list.

The author should save the page that appears after creating the poll (web browser bookmark, note, email, etc.).

Also, not having an account means we don't know who voted. If a participant accidentally changes a browser or device, he/she can vote more than once. That would not be good for important polls.

For such polls, the author should make sure to leave the “Require names of participants” setting turned on when creating the poll so that he/she can correct the poll results if necessary.

Swallow Poll is free, we do not require any payments. However, operation costs something.

Data will not be stored in Swallow Poll forever, they will be deleted after a few months.

The author of the poll should make sure to read the results of the poll before the poll is deleted.

Your privacy is important to us.

We do not collect any data about you or your device.
We do not use cross-site or cross-device tracking.
We do not use non-essential cookies.
Basically, we don't know anything about you.

Now you know how it works. If you like it, don't hesitate to try Swallow Poll. We hope it helps you in some way.
