Common questions
Are Microsoft Teams polls anonymous?
Built-in Teams polls (the ones from Microsoft Forms in a chat or meeting) show voter names on the results. Anyone in the conversation can see who picked what.
Chalk Polls has an anonymous mode: vote names are hidden from the card and from other participants. We still record one vote per person internally so nobody can vote twice — we just don't show who chose which option. That's also covered in our privacy policy.
Do you have a Data Processing Agreement?
Yes. The standard DPA, including subprocessors and data hosting locations, is at chalkhr.com/dpa. Hosting and security details are on chalkhr.com/security. Email privacy@chalkhr.com to countersign.
Can polls auto-close?
Yes. Set a timer when creating a poll, and it will automatically close after the specified time.
What's the difference between a poll and a survey?
One multiple-choice question is a poll — vote on the card. Several questions, or any open text, is a survey — answered in a short dialog. Same app. From the Polls tab or compose menu you can add up to 10 questions. The bot and Copilot still create a single multiple-choice poll.
What are the free plan limits?
Chalk Polls & Surveys is free to start. There is no credit card and no cap on voters. See pricing for what is included today.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. ChalkHR Polls & Surveys works on Teams desktop, web, iOS, and Android.
