How does SSL encryption work?
Normally data sent between your browser and web servers is sent in plain text, which leaves it vulnerable. If an attacker is able to intercept data being sent between a browser and a web server, he can see and use that information. But when a site has SSL encryption, no one can see the data being transmitted.
You will see that our survey URLs begin with https:// so you are sure your survey responses are sent over a secure, SSL encrypted connection.
Users will also see a padlock symbol in their browser to confirm that their access to the survey is secure.
