Anonymous Online Survey Tool


 

Happy Wednesday, Folks! I continue to be filled with gratitude for this group and the wisdom it has brought forward. I hope this finds everyone well.

I am seeking an online survey tool that is truly anonymous. We'd like to survey the staff of an 40 person organization with a variety of multiple choice and open-ended questions. The most important feature is that respondents are assured that their responses are anonymous. We are looking at GoogleForms - but we've found in the past there is a low level of trust since the organization also uses gmail/Gsuite as the email provider and respondents worry that the administrators on the back end can see who said what.

Thank you in advance.

Kindest Regards to all,
Nina

allows anonymous responses and also lets you turn off collection of location and IP address of respondents. From :
"Can I avoid collecting personal data that would identify a Respondent?
Yes, you may design a survey that will not collect any personal data or other identifying information (such as geo-location or IP address). When distributing a survey using Anonymous Links, no contact personal data will be associated with the resulting response.?
In addition, you may enable Anonymize Response in Survey Options so that no location or IP information are collected.?
Using both of the above options means that the completed responses will be completely anonymous with no embedded identifying information."

Best regards,

Hi Nina,

I use MeetingSphere, which I? license annually, for my surveys and for real-time conversations (meetings, training etc.) It allows me to set anonymity for each question, or for all. I can also sort responses by team affiliation, if I choose, so I know which team a response came from, but not the person. As the host, I can see who? participated in the survey, but I have no idea which response was made by which person.

In addition, I can make it possible that people can see and build on and respond to other's anonymous comments, or I can make it so that people can only see their own responses. (I almost always choose the former, so people can have an online conversation and idea exchange, but there are times it's important that people not see the other responses.)

I just finished a very sensitive employee sensing study using MeetingSphere, where all respondents saw each others' anonymous responses. People said they really appreciated hearing what others had to say and having a chance to build on other responses.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
Nancy

Hi Nina,?

You could also have a go with ?- you can¡¯t see who gave inputs unless you use a form that collects that information.
People can give input via any range of devices that connect to the internet.?

We love using it, as there are a huge range of types of ways to capture the input (word bubble, 2 dimension sliders, 2 axis, 4 axis, dots, free text, word bubble etc¡­)

hope this helps
best wishes

This list of decision support tools is slightly different, but I found the analysis useful for a first glance by Jason Diceman (a maker of an offline decision support tool - he's now looking for virtual ones)?
