Keep in mind

Survey responses may contain personal or sensitive information. Collect only what the survey needs, restrict access, honor the stated consent and retention terms, and do not send participant details to other people without an approved purpose.

Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose a restricted response register

Select the approved location for survey records and limit access to the research or operations staff who need it.

Test complete and incomplete responses

Check how optional answers, missing values, repeated submissions, and unexpected response formats are recorded.
