You own your data

Your survey data is owned by you. Not only that, but the Akvo Foundation treats your surveys as if they were private (except if you have selected to add the surveys to the Akvo Flow’s public map) and we act merely as a custodian of your data. You retain full ownership to your data and content. Akvo does not claim any ownership to it. You can download your data at any time accessing the online workspace or extracting your data via Flow's read API.

We don’t sell them to anyone and we don’t use the survey responses you collect for purposes unrelated to you or our services, except in a limited set of circumstances (e.g. if we are compelled by a subpoena, or if you’ve given us permission to do so).

Akvo Flow Users conduct thousands of surveys each day using our services. We host the surveys on our websites and collect the responses that you submit to the survey creator. If you have any questions about a survey you are taking, please contact the survey creator directly as The Akvo Foundation is not responsible for the content of that survey or your responses to it. The survey creator is usually the organisation that invited you to take the survey and sometimes they have their own privacy policy. If you think a survey violates our Terms of Service or may be engaging in illegal activity, report it to privacy@akvo.org.
