Create an anonymous survey with the QuestionPro survey software

Anonymous surveys ensure more trust and therefore more feedback!

If you want to recruit potential survey participants for an online survey, it is important to create a survey in a way that makes survey participants feel comfortable and confident while providing open and honest feedback. That's how it is with anonymous surveys!

When you let your survey participants know that you are conducting an anonymous online survey, they know that their identity will remain confidential. They will feel more comfortable completing a truly anonymous survey. This is particularly important if you need to collect feedback from employees or customers on sensitive information, such as: B. on misconduct, safety procedures and personal changes. That being said, offering anonymity is generally a solid best practice for conducting online surveys.

However, conducting a survey anonymously does not simply mean foregoing the collection of personal data that can lead to the identification of survey participants. It also means that you refrain from collecting hidden data, such as the IP address, the device used to complete the survey or geolocation data. Anonymous means anonymous. This means: You do not collect any data other than the data that your survey participants voluntarily provide to you. If you tell your survey participants that they are conducting an anonymous survey, they will also expect all data to remain anonymous.

Assure your survey participants that the survey will be anonymous

If you would like to conduct an anonymous survey, it is wise to note this in the introductory text of the survey. This increases the willingness to take part in the survey. But if your potential survey participants don’t know you, why should they trust you?

QuestionPro offers a solution for this. As the provider of the survey platform, we guarantee the total anonymity of the survey! We call this procedure Respondent Anonymity Assurance (RAA). If the RAA is activated accordingly, we position a link in the footer of the anonymous survey, which leads to a declaration of anonymity from QuestionPro. We assure your survey participants that no meta data will be collected.

And it's that easy to activate the RAA feature for anonymous surveys

In your QuestionPro user account, simply activate the Respondent Anonymity Assurance (RAA) item in the survey settings.

Please note: Once the Respondent Anonymity Assurance of your anonymous survey has been activated, it remains permanent and cannot be reversed.

You will see the following entries in the database when RAA is activated
