FAQ
Is the service free to use?
Yes! But not only that, Shatuga, LLC gives all profits to charities. Visit shatuga.com and check the "About" menu for more info.
How long will my choosers live?
We keep them around for about 6 months past the last participation or admin update. After this, we'll clean them up and delete all the data. So visit your Chooser to keep it up to date.
How do I access a Chooser I make?
We'll give you a unique link once you create it.
What if I lose my Chooser link?
Since you don't log in to make a chooser, you absolutely must keep your Shatuga Chooser link somewhere safe. Use that link to administer your chooser and check results. If you lose your link, we have no way to know who made what chooser. We really have no way to recover a lost chooser link. It's likely, though, that your links will be in your browser history. Look there if you lose it!
Can I brand it for myself? Upload a banner?
Coming Soon! We're adding the ability to create an account so you can manage your choosers, branding, and images.
