Worried about GDPR fines? You are not alone. Trying to collect your customer feedback but these confusing consent forms, complex privacy settings, and unclear survey rules make it overwhelming.

GDPR isn't just a concern for European businesses. Even big giants like Google have been fined millions. They were fined a €10 million penalty from Spain for mishandling user data. GDPR doesn't just target European businesses. If you have even one customer or respondent in the EU, your surveys must comply with GDPR guidelines.

Many businesses unknowingly put their finance and reputations at risk by using data collection tools that are not built for GDPR compliance. 

Is there a simple way to run surveys without worrying about fines, data leaks, or complicated privacy rules? Let’s find out a solution!

GDPR Complicates Customer Surveys

GDPR feels like a maze? We get it. You genuinely want to protect your customer’s privacy but understanding those consent forms, setting up the privacy, and following those rules are frustrating. It makes you worry if your survey tools are genuinely GDPR-compliant. Most businesses struggle with:

  • Confusing consent forms full of legal jargon.
  • Survey tools are not built with privacy as a priority.
  • Anxiety about potential data leaks or breaches.
  • Uncertainty about who controls and accesses sensitive customer information.

Maybe you've had a sleepless night worrying about the sensitive information you collect. And getting frusturated trying to figure out their privacy policies. This is distracting, isn't it?

Create GDPR-Compliant Customer Satisfaction Surveys with Zero Hassle FAQ

Do I still need consent forms if I’m using BlockSurvey?

Yes, consent forms remain essential even with GDPR-compliant platforms. While BlockSurvey simplifies the consent process significantly, you still need explicit, clear consent from respondents whenever you collect personal data.

Does GDPR compliance affect the response rates of surveys?

Actually, clear and compliant privacy practices can improve response rates. Customers feel more secure knowing their data is protected, leading to increased trust and higher participation.

Can BlockSurvey integrate with other business tools without compromising GDPR compliance?

Yes, BlockSurvey can integrate with various business tools through secure and GDPR-compliant methods. However, you must ensure that any integrations you set up also adhere to GDPR standards.

If my business isn’t in Europe, do I still need to follow GDPR standards for all my surveys?

Not necessarily for all surveys, but if any respondents reside within the EU, then GDPR standards do apply. It's generally safest and easiest to adopt GDPR standards universally to simplify compliance.
