We are going to anonymize the responses so individual responses are not
associated with individual respondents. The foundation is committed to
the privacy of the respondents, and believes that protecting the privacy
of its users and survey respondents is of utmost importance.

Dear fellow translators,
I'm not convinced about the privacy concerning this survey and I'm not
the only one
At

First: CheckUsers are always able to track you so for them it's never
anonymous unless you fill them out in an Internet café...
In the personal questions should always be the option "Don't
know/Don't want to tell"
Examples:
* "Do you have children?" - Men, including me, in certain
circumstances don't know...
* "Monthly income" - Freelancers and criminals don't want to
reveal this for obvious reasons.
* "Gender" - Even this may cause problems incase of 'transsexual'
and 'transgender' (BTW those words are synonyms)
