Anonymous Survey
We provide people with a link to a medical survey, which asks several questions about that person’s experience with UTIs. None of the questions record any personal data that can identify a living person, so the data that is captured does not fall in scope for data protection legislation, as it is considered anonymous.
If any identifiable personal data is entered in response to any of the questions, it will be deleted by our staff before we continue to process the responses. This is to ensure the anonymity of the data.
For updates on the research that we are doing, which the survey data will be supporting, then please visit: www.assuremedicaltech.com
This survey is carried out on a Google Form. The form options have been set so it doesn’t require the respondent to sign-in to a Google Account and email addresses are not collected as part of the form. There is also no recording of a respondents Internet Protocol (IP) address in the form.
