Privacy Policy

Draft, pending legal review. Updated from the January 1, 2016 Privacy Policy to match the new Quandree. Last updated November 9, 2026.

Quandree (quandree.com) is operated by Ask America, Inc. Anonymity is the heart of Quandree: your screen name is the only thing other members ever see, and your votes are never linked to you. This policy explains what we collect, how we keep it separate, and the choices you have.

What other members can see

• Your screen name, the date you joined, your experience points, and any badges you earn.
• What you post under your screen name: questions, disputes, your side of a dispute, and comments.

They never see your email, your private details, or how you voted.

What we collect, and why

Your email address. Used only to sign you in and to send you notices about your own activity on Quandree, such as when the other side of your case answers, you're called for jury duty, or a decision is in. You can turn notices off in My profile. Your address is never shown to anyone and never attached to your votes.

Your private details (all optional). Age group, gender, state or country, and relationship status, plus whether you have professional experience in mediation, law, or counseling and a short note about it. Only you can see these in My profile. They are used for anonymous group totals, as explained below.

Your votes. Each vote is stored in two separate places that our site never joins together:

• An anonymous ballot: the answer chosen, your age group, gender, and state, any answers to the asker's optional follow-up questions, and the date (not the time). It has no link to your account. Results are only ever shown as totals.
• A private record that you voted and what you chose, so you can't vote twice and can see your own choices. Only you can see it. Our admin tools never read it.

Your research choice. Whether you have agreed to include your anonymous votes in research totals (off unless you turn it on).

Reports. If you report a post, we record that you did so you can't report it twice. Our moderators see how many members reported a post, never who.

Signing in with Google or Facebook (when offered). We use these only to confirm you are a real person. We don't keep your name or photo from those accounts, we never see or import your friends, and we never post on your behalf.

What we don't collect or do

• We don't ask for your real name.
• We don't take payments or store payment information.
• We don't use advertising cookies or track you across other websites.
• We don't sell, rent, or trade personal information.

How results stay anonymous

Vote results, filters, and comparisons show only totals. Any group with fewer than 10 votes is hidden, so no one can be singled out. Votes on a dispute stay sealed until it is decided.

Research

If you opt in, your anonymous ballots may be included in totals shared with businesses and researchers, for example how members in different age groups or states answered a question. Only totals for large groups are shared, never individual ballots or anything that identifies you. If you don't opt in, your ballots count in results on Quandree but are left out of anything shared. You can change this anytime in My profile.

Cookies

We use only the cookies needed to keep you signed in. If you block them, you can still read Quandree but can't sign in.

Service providers

We use a small number of companies to run Quandree, and they may only use your information to provide their service to us:

• Supabase: database and sign-in.
• Vercel: website hosting.
• Resend: sign-in and notice emails.

Like most websites, our hosting providers may briefly record technical information such as IP addresses and browser type to keep the service running and secure.

When we may disclose information

We will disclose information only if required by law or legal process, or if we believe in good faith it is necessary to protect the rights or property of Quandree, or the safety of our members or the public. Because ballots aren't linked to accounts, we can't say how any individual voted.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account anytime from My profile. That permanently removes your email, screen name, private details, research choice, and your private record of how you voted. Your anonymous ballots stay in the totals, since they were never linked to you. Questions, disputes, and comments you posted stay up, credited to "Former member." A dispute still waiting for the other side is taken down. If you want something you posted removed before you leave, contact us.

Security

We protect your information with encryption in transit (https), and the database itself enforces who can see what, so private details and votes stay separate even from our own staff tools.

Children

Quandree is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has joined, contact us and we will delete the account.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, including California, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, and to not be discriminated against for using these rights. You can see and change your private details in My profile and delete your account there at any time. For anything else, contact us. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. We'll post the new version here with its date, and for significant changes we'll let members know by email or on the Site.
