Who can see my responses?
Short answer: the research team running that survey or study. Not other participants, not the public, and not other studies.
Surveys and studies differ
A one-off survey collects responses without enrolling anyone. Unless the survey says otherwise, the team receives your answers without knowing who gave them — there’s no account attached and no record kept of you between responses. If a survey asks for your name or email, then of course it knows; the anonymity comes from what’s asked, not from a setting, so read the questions.
A study enrols you as a participant and keeps a record for you, because that’s what makes it possible to follow the same people over time. The study team can see your answers alongside your record. That’s the point of a study, and it’s what the consent you accepted at the start describes.
Within a research team
Access inside a team isn’t all-or-nothing. Members have roles, and editing, participant management, bulk export and audit viewing are each restricted. Fields marked sensitive need a further privilege before anyone can export them.
What you can see
Participants can see the responses they’ve given, study by study, and the data the study holds about them through the form the team has set up for participants. See Forms: views of your data.
Indacas staff
We host the platform; we don’t read your research data as a matter of course. Administrative access is restricted to named engineers, and access is logged and auditable like everything else.
Who’s responsible for what
For data collected in a study, the researcher running it is the controller — they decide what’s collected and what it’s used for. We’re the processor acting on their instructions. So questions about why something is asked, how long it’s kept, or how findings are published go to the study team first; their contact details are on the study’s public page.
