Stedica Surveys is a survey and questionnaire builder for WordPress. Build a\nsurvey by dragging questions into sections, publish it with a shortcode, and\nread the results in your own dashboard. Responses are stored in your\nown database.<\/p>\n\n
Everything listed below works in this plugin. Nothing is time-limited, capped,\nor switched off pending a purchase.<\/p>\n\n
Option randomisation<\/strong> \u2014 shuffle a question's answer options per respondent\nto cancel order bias, with \"Other\" and \"None of the above\" pinned in place<\/p><\/li>\n Starter templates<\/strong> \u2014 NPS, customer satisfaction, employee engagement,\nevent feedback, product feedback and a store\/field audit<\/p><\/li>\n These are separate products and are not required. This plugin is complete\nwithout them.<\/p>\n\n Nothing is sent anywhere by default.<\/strong> Out of the box this plugin makes no\noutbound requests: surveys, responses and uploads stay in your own WordPress\ndatabase and on your own server.<\/p>\n\n Two things can send data out, and both are off until you switch them on.<\/p>\n\n If you enter a webhook URL under Stedica Surveys \u2192 Notifications, each completed\nresponse is POSTed to that URL \u2014 one you choose<\/strong>, not a service we run. The\nrequest contains the survey id and name, the response id and submission time, and\nthe answers. It does not include IP or device hashes, WordPress user ids, or\ninternal version ids.<\/p>\n\n Requests go out through WordPress's own Because the destination is yours, its terms and privacy policy are whatever\napplies to the endpoint you point it at.<\/p>\n\n The plugin bundles the Freemius SDK. It runs in anonymous mode<\/strong>: everything\ndescribed above works without connecting, and no account, opt-in or consent is\nrequired for any feature of this plugin. Nothing is sent until you choose to\nstart a trial or activate a licence.<\/p>\n\n The SDK is used for three things, all optional:<\/p>\n\n If you start a trial or activate a licence, the plugin then contacts\n api.freemius.com periodically to validate it and to check for updates. What is\nsent is set out on screen before you agree: your WordPress name and email, the\nsite's URL, title and language, the WordPress, PHP and plugin versions it runs,\nand whether the plugin is still active. Your surveys and their responses are\nnever sent. The list of other plugins and themes installed on the site, which\nthe SDK can collect by default, is switched off in this plugin and never\ntransmitted.<\/p>\n\n The Premium Version menu item opens No. The plugin does not require registration, does not contact any external\nservice, and works entirely on your own site.<\/p><\/dd>\n In your own WordPress database. Nothing is sent anywhere else.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. It uses a hidden decoy field, a submission-timing check and a rate limit,\nall handled on your own server. Nothing is sent to any third party, so there is\nno external service to disclose and no consent banner to add.<\/p><\/dd>\n By WordPress account, it records the account id. By browser, a random value in\na first-party cookie that means nothing outside your site. By network address,\na salted one-way hash \u2014 the address itself is never stored<\/strong> and the hash\ncannot be turned back into one. Surveys set to anonymous record none of these.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes, and it is switchable per survey. Open the survey in the builder and look\nunder Survey Settings for \"Collect responses offline\". When it is on, answers\nare stored on the respondent's device and sync when the connection returns; the\nOffline Sync Monitor shows what is still queued. When it is off, nothing is\nstored on the device and no connectivity banner is shown.<\/p>\n\n Surveys created before version 5.0.0 have it on.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Everything documented above is in this plugin and is not gated. The\nextensions add separate features; they do not unlock anything here.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. The plugin sends through Yes \u2014 the plugin adds a Survey Editor role with the survey capabilities and\nnothing else.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n Sanitization fix from the plugin review.<\/p>\n\n Structured answers saved by the autosave path were decoded from JSON and stored\nwithout being sanitized. The same answers arriving on final submit were already\ncleaned, so the two paths disagreed; both now run through the same sanitizer.\nPlain-text and malformed-JSON values on that path are sanitized too, as is a\nvalue that arrives as an array rather than a string.<\/p>","raw_excerpt":"Drag-and-drop survey builder with 17 question types, conditional logic, offline capture, email notifications, and CSV and Excel export.","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin\/363154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/plugin"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=363154"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wporg\/v1\/users\/stedica"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=363154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"plugin_section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_section?post=363154"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_tags?post=363154"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_category?post=363154"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_contributors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_contributors?post=363154"},{"taxonomy":"plugin_business_model","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/am.wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/plugin_business_model?post=363154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Keeping responses trustworthy<\/h4>\n\n
