An anonymous survey, truly anonymous.
Team climate, training evaluation, feedback on a decision: people answer honestly when they know nothing identifies them. With Mailpro, neither you nor we can link a response to a person.
How would you rate the atmosphere in your team?
Your answer is anonymous: nobody can link it to you, not even the organizer.
“Anonymous” should mean anonymous
Many tools announce anonymous responses while keeping each respondent's IP address, exact time or browser, or tracking the click that led to the questionnaire. With Mailpro anonymous responses, nothing leads back to the person: not the response, not our logs, not your email statistics.
The responses, and nothing else
You see the responses, their number and their date. The IP address, city, country, browser, referring page and time are never stored; in the details of a response, they show “-”. No contact record is created, and an email address a link could prefill is ignored.

A dedicated address, with no intermediary
An anonymous survey is filled in on anonymous.forms.mailpro.com. This address leads straight to our servers in Switzerland, with no intermediary service (no content delivery network, no proxy). The web server keeps no access log, and our technical logs record neither the IP address, nor the browser, nor the requested address there.
No click tracking, even in the newsletter
In your campaigns, links to an anonymous survey are never turned into tracking links: no click is recorded, neither for the survey link nor for the buttons of an anonymous vote. You know who you sent it to, never who answered. The same applies to emails sent through the Mailpro SMTP server.
Your opinion matters: 3 minutes, anonymous responses
No third-party service that would see the respondent
No captcha: Google or Cloudflare would see the IP address. Your own audience measurement script is not loaded either. Bot protection runs on our servers, without storing anything.
Your next questionnaire can be truly anonymous.

Consult your members on a project or a budget with an anonymous vote.
Suggestion box
An anonymous form to collect suggestions and criticism, without anyone feeling exposed.
The limits of anonymity
- The questions themselves. If a question asks for a name or an email address, the response is obviously no longer anonymous.
- Small groups. With very few respondents, the result can hint at who answered what (three people, three “no” answers).
- One vote per browser. Tying a vote to its recipient would mean knowing who they are: an anonymous vote is therefore limited to one vote per browser.
- Newsletter opens. They are still measured, as for any email; they say nothing about the response.
- Embedding in your website. Your website sees its visitors: for complete anonymity, share the survey link.
- Responses already received. The setting applies to new responses; those received before it was turned on keep their data.
