GDPR applies whenever your survey collects personal data from respondents. Before launching a survey, you need to define the legal basis for processing data and communicate clearly how responses will be used and stored.

Collect only the data required to answer your research questions. Limiting unnecessary personal information reduces risk and improves trust among respondents.

You must also ensure respondents can exercise their rights, including access, correction, and deletion of their data.

Finally, protect survey data through secure storage, restricted access, and encryption where appropriate.
