Your data, in plain words

What we collect

The current Quick Survey is fully anonymous: no name, email, age or other personal details. We keep only your answers, an optional comment, and a random code stored on your device (saved only in scrambled form) so the same device can't answer about the same bot twice in a week. The earlier, longer version of the survey asked for an email and background details.

What is public

Only combined numbers. We never show emails, exact ages, screenshots or your raw words. Quotes appear only after our team approves an AI-redacted version with names, numbers and addresses removed. Group results (for example by age) are hidden until a group has at least 5 different people. Optional comments are never shown publicly unless our team approves a redacted quote describing an experience.

How it's stored

Your email is kept in a separate, team-only place from your answers. Only the research team can see raw responses. We don't sell or share data, and there are no ads or trackers. To see where people stop in the survey, we count which step was reached — never what you typed.

Delete my data (earlier survey)

For people who took the earlier version of the survey with an email. Removes your background details, your email and every rating you sent. This can't be undone. Quick Survey answers are anonymous, so nothing is linked to you.

Stop email updates (earlier survey)

You'll stay in the study; we just won't email you.
