    Anonymous Survey

    An anonymous survey collects responses without any personally identifying information.

    True anonymity requires: no email collection, no IP logging, no device fingerprinting, and aggregation that prevents reverse identification (e.g., minimum 5 respondents per segment). Anonymity dramatically improves response honesty on sensitive topics — HR, DEI, ethics, compensation.
