Detailed Review
Opinary is a polling and voting tool that publishers place inside articles, with brands buying access to the audiences that answer. Its site says it reaches over 125 million users and lists Der Spiegel and The Times among partners.
The imprint names Affinity Global GmbH, Engeldamm 62-64, 10179 Berlin, HRB 151824 B at Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, VAT DE291652961, with Cornelius Frey as managing director. The terms of use are governed by German law. Opinary describes itself as part of the Affinity Ecosystem, and the privacy policy refers to Affinity Global Inc. for the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, so the group is not European-owned throughout.
The privacy policy says data may be transferred to the USA and names no hosting provider or region, and no price is published. That makes it the least verifiable entry in this list on hosting, and it is ranked below the tools that name a host for that reason.
What Opinary does well
- Berlin GmbH with commercial register number and VAT ID in its imprint
- Terms governed by German law
- Used by named European publishers
Where Opinary falls short
- No hosting provider or region named
- Privacy policy allows transfers to the USA
- The wider group includes Affinity Global Inc.
- No published price
- Not a comment system, readers cannot write replies
Standout feature. It is the most widely placed polling tool in this list, and the one that says least about where data is stored.
