Stop Putting Your Respondents at Risk: 5 Anonymous AI Survey Tools That Actually Protect Activists

Right now, activists worldwide are sharing their most vulnerable truths through surveys that track every click, log every IP address, and store personal data on servers that governments can access with a single warrant.

Most survey tools were built for marketers selling products, not activists protecting lives.

While you're fighting for justice, your survey platform might be:

• Handing over IP addresses to authorities
• Requiring email verification that exposes identities
• Running tracking scripts that follow respondents across the web
• Storing sensitive responses on hackable centralized servers

The Risk of Speaking Up

For your respondents, especially in high-risk situations, this can lead to:

• Arrest for dissent
• Harassment by authorities or online mobs
• Outing in unsafe environments
• Retaliation from employers or regimes
• Or worst of all - losing all trust in your mission
