At flowit, we take your data protection and privacy seriously. This article gives you an overview of the features that protect your anonymity, when they apply, and why they matter.
🤫 What Is Anonymity?
Anonymity means that your personal identity cannot be linked to your feedback. In other words: no one—not your manager, your HR team, or even us at flowit—can see who said what. This creates a safe space for honest and constructive input, without fear of judgment or consequences.
🔍 Anonymity Through Smart Analysis
What it is:
flowit uses advanced AI to group feedback into meaningful topic clusters. This qualitative content analysis ensures that your responses are anonymized far more effectively than traditional methods.
When it applies:
During and after surveys
Especially important when teams are small (fewer than 6 people)
Why it's useful:
No individual responses are shown in small teams
Analysis is performed at a higher team level to prevent any identification
This helps build trust and encourages honest, open feedback
🔐 Anonymous Surveys Despite Login
What it is:
You log in with your personal flowit account, but your survey answers are anonymized immediately upon submission.
When it applies:
Every time you participate in a flowit survey
Why it's useful:
Ensures responses can never be traced back to individuals
Allows results to be assigned to relevant organizational units without compromising privacy
Helps your team focus on meaningful improvements based on real insights
