Mailpro protects survey data on three levels: in transit (SSL/TLS), at rest (encrypted Swiss-hosted databases) and at access (passwords, CAPTCHA, granular user permissions). The combination keeps both the respondent’s answers and your account’s aggregate data away from anyone who shouldn’t see them.

Where the data lives Mailpro stores survey responses in datacenters located in Switzerland, with strict access control and full GDPR alignment.

The pillars of survey security

Every response travels over an encrypted connection — see SSL encryption. Sensitive surveys can be locked behind a password, and a CAPTCHA stops bots from skewing your data. On your side, granular user permissions control who in your team can view, edit or export results, and EU-based hosting plus full data export and deletion on request keep you GDPR-aligned.

Best practices on your side

Even with strong infrastructure, sensitive surveys benefit from extra hygiene: avoid asking for data you don’t actually need, anonymize at collection when possible, and remove old responses you no longer use. Also, don’t share the survey link in public channels if it contains personal questions.

Don’t collect what you can’t protect Asking for ID numbers, financial data or health info raises your obligations sharply. Only collect such data when you have a clear legal basis and a way to handle it securely.

Lock down your survey

Read the survey security FAQ, the guide on password-protected surveys, and enable CAPTCHA on public forms.
