Who we are

BlockSurvey was founded in 2019 by a team that had lived the problem firsthand. The traditional survey platforms of the world were built on an ad-supported model that treated respondent data as a product — and organizations had no choice but to comply. We saw an opportunity to build something fundamentally different: a survey platform where end-to-end encryption isn't a checkbox, it's the architecture. Where you own your data, your respondents' data stays private, and there are zero trackers by default.

Today, more than 1,000 organizations across 50+ countries — from healthcare networks and universities to NGOs and Fortune 500 companies — use BlockSurvey to collect over 10 million survey responses each year. We're a small, focused team building for the long term. Our goal isn't just to be the best survey tool — it's to raise the standard for what ethical data collection looks like.

  • End-to-End Encrypted

    Every response is encrypted by default. Only you can access your data — not us, not anyone else.

  • Zero Trackers

    No ads. No trackers. No data reselling. Your respondents' privacy is fully protected, always.

  • Privacy Infrastructure

    Built on end-to-end encryption so data ownership is enforced by architecture, not promises.

  • Globally Certified

    ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, FERPA, SOC 2 — compliance built in, not bolted on.

Our manifesto, in six principles

  • 01

    Privacy By Default

    Every product decision starts with the question: "Does this protect our users' data?" Privacy isn't a feature — it's the constraint that shapes everything we build.

  • 02

    Radical Transparency

    We tell you exactly how your data is stored, who can see it, and what we do with it. No dark patterns. No hidden terms. No surprises.

  • 03

    Ownership Over Access

    Your data belongs to you — architecturally, legally, and philosophically. We build tools that enforce ownership, not just promise it.

  • 04

    Human-Centered Research

    Great surveys start with empathy. We build tools that help researchers collect better data while treating respondents with dignity and respect.

  • 05

    Long-Term Thinking

    We're not optimizing for growth at all costs. We're building something that will still be trustworthy in 10 years — because trust compounds.

  • 06

    Diversity In Research

    We actively serve organizations doing research in underrepresented communities — NGOs, public health agencies, academic institutions — because the questions they're asking matter.

  • We stopped thinking about surveys as just forms and started building a real workflow. BlockSurvey gave us a HIPAA-compliant application system, automated eligibility tracking, and a full communications hub - handling 600+ applications without a single enterprise CRM. The flexibility to iterate as we grew, backed by a team that genuinely built with us, made all the difference.
