How protected is my information?
What about the responses to my survey?

Our system has been used by government agencies, hundreds of universities, and students writing dissertations. Some of these studies involve human subjects, including disadvantaged and at-risk populations, such as government sponsored studies collecting data about physical and dependency abuse for adults and children. Needless to say these are extremely confidential studies that have passed the highest level of scrutiny from human subjects committees. The system maintains data behind a firewall. All data is accessed only by the owner of the survey who must provide a user id and a password. All pieces of data are keyed to that owner identification and cannot be accessed by anyone else. Our experience is that the compromising of sensitive data comes through errant actions of the owner of the survey sharing a password and not from issues involving system security.
