QANDR is GDPR proof

QANDR is designed to be used in an environment - remote (online) and/or in a physical space, where people also see each other and engage in conversation. In that conversation, you see and hear each other and find out what others think. For example, in a qualitative conversation, the facilitator will typically ask respondents to explain the answers given so that the underlying opinion can be discussed.

QANDR hands out a color to each participant at the beginning of the session. You can see that color reflected, for example, in the dots that participants use on the main screen. If the person with the blue dot explains his/her point of view, it will also become clear to everyone in the session who is operating the blue dot. The colors thus promote group dynamics, making it easier to quickly address someone about his or her answer. But the link between the color and the person is not visualized by QANDR itself. Also in the archive it is not visible who had which color. The QANDR archives are thus really a form of anonymous data storage.

QANDR is designed so that doing QANDR sessions does not require any personal information from respondents. Respondents participate in a session anonymously and with their answers they collectively create the visuals that form the basis for the interactive group discussion. Actions, numbers and results are stored with the session but without any reference to information traceable to a person.

During a session you are, quite literally, a number to QANDR. You see that number on your phone when you participate in a session. We use those numbers to collect the results, add them up and show them as a visual on the main screen.

That's as far as the identification goes. QANDR doesn't know your name, your phone number, your age, where you live or any other personal information. Only that a browser participated in the session and what answers were given with it.

This anonymous participation not only protects your privacy, but also makes it super easy to join a QANDR session.

To conduct QANDR sessions as a moderator, you need a QANDR account. With it, you can start all your sessions and view their results afterwards. These are the visuals that visually represent the collective responses of your participants - not the individual responses of identifiable individuals. Your QANDR account is a secure account that can only be accessed by you. A QANDR account requires only a few pieces of information from you, such as email, name, and name of your organization that you enter once when you close your account. QANDR only uses your data to run the service and will never share it with others.

At Noterik, we have an FG (data protection officer) who oversees customer and user privacy compliance in accordance with the AVG, who is also registered with the AP (Authority for the Protection of Personal Data). In this way, in addition to the restrictions already built into the service, we offer our customers additional reliability and ensure that internally everything is always in order.
