When participants share their opinions through a survey, they trust that their information will be handled responsibly. PaperSurvey takes that trust seriously by applying multiple layers of security to protect participant identities and personal information throughout the entire data lifecycle.

Security measures in place

We protect participant data through three key security layers:

1. Encryption during transmission

All data transfers use end-to-end encryption:

• Survey responses are encrypted before leaving the respondent's device
• Files and uploads are protected during transmission
• Even if intercepted, encrypted data remains unreadable

2. Secure data storage

Your survey data is protected at rest:

• Enterprise-grade server security
• Regular security audits and updates
• Access controls limiting who can view data
• Automated backups with encryption

3. GDPR compliance

We follow European data protection standards:

• Data minimization: We only collect what's necessary
• Purpose limitation: Data is used only for stated purposes
• Storage limitation: Data retention policies are enforced
• Rights to access, correction, and deletion

Additional protections available

For surveys requiring extra security:

• Password-protected surveys
• Time-limited access windows
• IP restriction options for corporate environments
• Custom data retention periods
