Terms of Use

Last updated: June 1, 2026

What Votto Is

Votto is an opinion map and Room platform. You can answer Takes, compare your answers with aggregate results, unlock lenses, save your map, join Rooms, create Rooms when eligible, and optionally generate private Reads, including First Read and paid Deep Read features.

Votto is for exploration, comparison, and reflection. It is not a scientific poll, professional advice, financial advice, medical advice, legal advice, or an eligibility decision system.

Not a Representative Poll

Results on Votto reflect people who chose to answer Votto questions. Votto does not currently use representative sampling or weighting. Do not cite Votto results as representative public opinion unless Votto explicitly labels a future study with a reviewed methodology.

Accounts and Access

You may use parts of Votto anonymously, but some features require an account. Creating an account lets you save your map with email and password. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity under your account.

Some Room access modes require an account, verified email, approved email domain, invitation, or owner approval. If you enter a Room through a link, Votto may associate your activity with that Room and link for aggregate analytics.

Rooms

Eligible users may create Rooms for audiences, communities, organizations, small groups, or other use cases. Room owners are responsible for Room names, descriptions, invite links, access modes, questions they create, and how they distribute Room links.

If you create or manage a Room, you agree not to use Votto to identify individual respondents, disclose private Room data, make high-impact decisions about people, misrepresent Votto results as representative polling, or invite people in a deceptive or unlawful way.

Votto may limit, pause, remove, or change Room access if needed for privacy, security, abuse prevention, product integrity, legal reasons, or beta operations.

Your Answers and Lenses

You are responsible for the answers and information you submit. Lens prompts are voluntary unless a specific feature clearly explains why an answer is needed. If you skip a lens prompt, you may not unlock that lens.

Votto may use your submitted answers to show aggregate distributions, compare lenses above privacy thresholds, build your personal map, attribute answers to source or Room contexts, improve feed ranking, and generate a First Read or Deep Read when you explicitly ask.

Creator Content

You must have the rights needed for any Room name, description, question, invite label, link, or other content you submit. By submitting it, you give Votto permission to host, display, process, analyze, and use that content to operate the service and related Room features.

Votto may reject, edit, hide, or remove creator-submitted content that we believe is unlawful, abusive, misleading, infringing, unsafe, or harmful to product integrity.

AI-Generated Reads

First Read and Deep Read use AI and only run when you ask. They are generated from a limited package of your saved answers, your provided lens answers, relevant source or Room context, prior Read context where relevant, and privacy-safe aggregate comparisons sent to an AI service provider.

Reads are exploratory reflections, not objective assessments, diagnoses, predictions, professional advice, or eligibility decisions. They may be incomplete, imperfect, or phrased in ways you disagree with.

Paid Plans and Billing

Votto may offer paid plans, including Plus, Pro, Studio, and future plans. Paid plans may unlock Deep Read, Room creation, Room limits, creator analytics, Studio features, or other paid features described at checkout or in the product.

Checkout, payment method handling, invoices, taxes, renewals, cancellations, and subscription management are processed by Stripe. Subscriptions renew until canceled. Prices, billing intervals, limits, and included features are shown at checkout or in the product and may change for future billing periods as allowed by law.

You can manage or cancel your subscription through the billing portal where available or by contacting us. If you cancel or downgrade, paid access continues or ends according to the billing status Stripe reports to Votto. Existing Rooms may remain accessible in limited or read-only form, while creation, publishing, analytics, member management, or other paid features may become unavailable. Unless Votto states otherwise, fees are not refundable except where required by law.

Aggregate Results

Votto may show aggregate results, Room results, source-attributed comparisons, and lens comparisons. Source or Room attribution means an answer came through a particular source, link, campaign, Room, or context. It does not prove membership in a community or audience.

Results may be delayed, suppressed, or shown as forming until privacy thresholds and policy rules are met. Creators, partners, and sponsors may receive aggregate, thresholded, provenance-labeled results only. They may not receive individual answer histories, raw lens answers, anonymous IDs, session IDs, billing identifiers, First Reads, or Deep Reads.

Acceptable Use

You agree not to misuse Votto, including by:

  • trying to identify individual users from aggregate results;
  • scraping, copying, or reselling Votto data without permission;
  • interfering with security, rate limits, billing, or normal operation;
  • submitting unlawful, abusive, infringing, or deceptive content;
  • using Votto to make high-impact decisions about other people;
  • misrepresenting Votto results as representative polling;
  • sharing Room links in a way that violates law or the rights of other people.

Data Controls

You may delete your data or account through settings where available or by contacting us. Registered users with verified email may export their data where available. Deletion and export behavior is described in the Privacy Policy.

Age Requirement

Votto is not directed to children under 13. By using Votto, you confirm that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under 13, do not use Votto or submit information.

Service Changes

Votto is an early product. We may add, remove, redesign, limit, or pause features as the product evolves. We may also suspend access if necessary for security, abuse prevention, maintenance, legal reasons, billing issues, or product integrity.

Disclaimers

Votto is provided as is and as available. We do not guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any result, lens, Room, dashboard, First Read, or Deep Read will be accurate, complete, or useful for your particular purpose.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of Votto after changes means you accept the updated terms.
