Terms
A short set of rules for a simple tool. If you create an account, you are agreeing to them.
The one big rule
Do not ask who someone is. That means no names, no contact details, no ID numbers, no exact dates, and no asking people to name somebody else.
The site blocks those questions. Rewording a question to slip past the block breaks these terms.
The same goes for working out who gave an answer some other way. Do not give each person their own survey so you can tell them apart. Do not stack up questions about age, team, and role until only one person fits.
The other rules
- You must be an adult to hold an account.
- Only survey people you have a right to survey.
- Nothing illegal, harassing, or deceptive. No spam and no scams.
- Do not collect information the law says needs special handling, such as medical records.
- Do not attack the site or flood it with automated requests.
- One person, one account. Do not open extra accounts to get more free surveys.
How it works
- A free account can publish 3 surveys. Drafts do not count.
- A survey can hold up to 30 questions and 1,000 responses. It closes itself when it is full.
- Closing a survey is final. A closed survey cannot be reopened.
- You see only a count until 5 people have answered. After that, results update 5 answers at a time. That keeps any one answer from standing out.
- Anyone with a survey's link can answer it, more than once. Stopping that would mean tracking people.
What Blind Survey can do
A survey that breaks these rules can be taken down. That stops new responses and hides the answers already collected. An account that keeps breaking them can be closed.
Anyone can report a survey using the link at the bottom of it.
No guarantees
Blind Survey is run carefully. Even so, nobody can promise it will always be up, or that nothing will ever be lost. If your results matter, download them.
Blind Survey is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, Blind Survey and its operator are not liable for losses that come from using it.
Changes
If these terms change, this page changes and so does the date below. Blind Survey is run by Wesley Hall. Write to hello@blindsurvey.net.
