How Do I Make Questions Anonymous on SurveyMonkey

Use this interactive demo to learn how to make survey responses anonymous in SurveyMonkey.

Quick summary

Enabling anonymous responses in SurveyMonkey prevents the platform from collecting respondents' IP addresses and email addresses, protecting their privacy. You can turn on this setting through the Collect Responses tab by editing your collector options.


Steps

  1. From your dashboard, select an existing survey.
  2. Click on the Collect Responses tab at the top of the survey.
  3. Select an existing collector from the list.
  4. Scroll down within the collector settings and click on Anonymous Responses.
  5. Click 'On, your respondents will be anonymous' to prevent SurveyMonkey from collecting or storing respondents' IP addresses and email addresses.
  6. Your survey is now configured to collect anonymous responses, safeguarding the privacy of your respondents.

📌 Why this matters

Protecting respondent privacy is essential for collecting honest, unbiased survey data — especially in sensitive workplace, academic, or research contexts. SurveyMonkey's anonymous responses feature lets survey creators disable IP address and email tracking at the collector level, ensuring participants feel safe sharing candid feedback. This built-in privacy control helps organizations comply with data minimization best practices and increases response rates by building trust. For teams running employee engagement surveys, customer feedback forms, or academic research, enabling anonymous responses is a critical step toward higher-quality, more reliable results.
