Respecting Your Data
Our surveys ask questions about the factors that contribute to overall satisfaction with membership and workplace. At times, it includes questions about your business, work, and personal life. We realize this is sensitive information and we are very careful about how we handle it. Here are our promises to you:
• Your coworking organization will never be given access to your individual question scores.
• When reporting on the results we will never show scores for a group of less than 3 individuals in order to protect your anonymity.
• If you provide textual answers (for example your comments or suggestions) these will be viewable by your organization but will not be attributed to you (unless explicitly stated that they will be).
• Personal information (such as name, email address) will be retained for the purposes of administering future surveys, but your survey responses will not be tied to any survey data that is shared with your organization.
If you have any queries about this please use the CONNECT link to contact us.
