How VoteByFace protects your polls
VoteByFace uses device checks and optional face liveness to reduce duplicate votes and make results easier to trust.
Verification Methods
Device Fingerprinting
Free for all polls. Uses browser and device characteristics to prevent duplicate votes from the same device.
Facial Verification
The verification capture is stored in our EU region. AWS Rekognition holds a mathematical face embedding for duplicate detection. It cannot be turned back into an image and is not tied to your account.
Liveness Detection
Advanced AI ensures a real person is present - not a photo, video, or deepfake. Combined with facial verification for maximum security.
Face + Voice Verification
Adds a short voice challenge on top of facial verification to defeat replay attacks and confirm liveness.
Security Pillars
A layered model that protects identity, liveness, and auditability.
Identity Assurance
Device, face, or face + voice verification ensures one person, one vote.
Liveness Protection
Liveness checks block photos, videos, and spoofing attempts.
Auditability
Events are logged for transparency, reviews, and dispute resolution.
Privacy by Design
We minimize data collection and keep sensitive workflows on secure servers.
Anti-Fraud Controls
Multiple safeguards stop abuse without hurting legitimate voters.
Rate Limits & Anomaly Detection
Suspicious spikes and rapid retries are throttled automatically.
Session Integrity
Every verification session is validated to prevent replay or reuse.
Duplicate Prevention
One person can vote once per poll, enforced by your chosen method.
Data Protection
Facial data handling
The verification capture is stored in our EU region. AWS Rekognition holds a mathematical face embedding for duplicate detection. It cannot be turned back into an image and is not tied to your account.
Data Encryption
Data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS and encrypted at rest by the cloud services that store it.
European data protection
We apply European data protection rules. Write to us to exercise your rights over your data.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.01Do you store facial images?
Yes. The verification capture is stored in our EU region. AWS Rekognition holds a mathematical face embedding for duplicate detection. It cannot be turned back into an image and is not tied to your account.
Q.02What verification methods do you support?
We support three methods: Device fingerprinting (free), facial verification, and enhanced face + liveness detection. You choose the level of security appropriate for your poll.
Q.03How do you prevent bots and fake votes?
Device fingerprinting detects browser automation and suspicious patterns. Facial verification ensures a unique human face. Liveness detection confirms a real person is present, not a photo or video.
Q.04Is my vote anonymous?
Yes. While we verify your identity to prevent duplicate votes, your actual vote choice is stored separately and cannot be linked back to you. Poll creators only see aggregate results.
Q.05What cloud infrastructure do you use?
VoteByFace runs on AWS (Amazon Web Services) with servers in multiple regions. We use AWS Rekognition for facial verification and Firebase for real-time data synchronization.
Q.06How is my data encrypted?
Data is encrypted in transit over HTTPS and encrypted at rest by the cloud services that store it. Facial embeddings are held in isolated AWS collections and are not tied to your account.
