FlashVote follows strict disclosure guidelines when it comes to user information and they do not share personally identifiable details with anyone, not even the Town. They ask for a user\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">address<\/span> and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">year of birth<\/span> at signup. Address is used to deter ballot stuffing and year of birth is needed for their user age requirement. Also, both address and age give us important demographic information (for example, it could show whether people ages 20-30 have a different response to a question than those ages 60-70). However, individual responses remain anonymous (actual addresses and birth years will not be shared with the Town).
