Privacy and Settings

Prioritize survey privacy, protect every response

Trust is built on transparency, and your survey respondents deserve both. Whether you're conducting healthcare research, handling customer feedback, or managing employee insights, survey privacy is essential to building trust and ensuring data is collected, stored, and shared responsibly. From data collection to compliance, these privacy settings put you in control.

Privacy and Settings

Stay compliant with a GDPR and HIPAA-compliant survey tool

  • HIPAA compliance

    If you're collecting health-related data, it's essential ensure your surveys meet HIPAA requirements. Zoho Survey is HIPAA-compliant and is designed to help healthcare professionals stay compliant while collecting electronic protected health information (e-PHI) securely.

  • GDPR compliance

    Collect, store, and process data from EU respondents with full confidence. Our features support GDPR-compliant practices, ensuring that your surveys remain compliant with the world’s most stringent data privacy regulations.

Secure every interaction with certified encryption  

  • SSL encrypted surveys

    All survey links are secured with SSL encryption by default to ensure secure data transmission through an HTTPS connection. If you're using a white-labeled domain, we provide a free SSL certificate for that custom domain too, so you can maintain both branding and security without compromise.

  • Mark e-PHI

    Flag and protect fields that capture sensitive electronic protected health information to ensure compliant handling of health data throughout the survey journey.

Control how data is collected and tracked  

  • Unique URLs

    Generate unique survey links for each respondent. This helps you create tamper-proof survey links and capture respondent information when distributing surveys via third-party platforms.

  • Hash URLs

    Add an extra layer of protection by hashing identifiable URL components. This is a smart way to keep links private and tamper-resistant, which is helpful if you're distributing links from within your application.

  • Geolocation tracking

    Enable or disable geolocation tracking in surveys based on your data needs. Keep things precise or protect respondent anonymity.

  • PII collection

    Choose whether to collect personally identifiable information (PII). Turn it on when necessary or keep it off for anonymous feedback surveys.

  • IP address collection

    Enable or disable IP tracking in surveys based on your privacy standards. Great for controlling data sensitivity in compliance-heavy environments.

Powerful surveys, backed by uncompromising security.
