People who don't know what happens to their answers respond cautiously or not at all. Missing information about privacy and anonymity is a common mistake in online surveys, because it costs you honest answers and respondents.
Trust decides your data quality
On sensitive topics such as salary, health or criticism of an employer, people only answer openly when they are sure they cannot be identified. Otherwise you get socially desirable answers instead of honest ones. So state clearly whether the survey is anonymous and who sees the results.
What to explain up front
- Who runs the survey and what the results are used for.
- Whether and how participation is anonymous.
- Which data is collected and how long it is stored.
- Who to contact with questions.
Keep anonymity technically too
A promise is not enough, the technology has to deliver it. Avoid hidden identifiers and do not collect personal data you don't need. LamaPoll is GDPR-compliant, hosts in Germany and enables genuinely anonymous surveys, so your promise matches reality.
