What is the watermark feature?
The watermark in the dataspace is a feature that helps prevent respondents from taking screenshots or sharing their survey response screens. When setting a watermark on a survey, a specific serial number is displayed on the response screen, so respondents are warned to be careful about screenshots and are informed that they may be subject to legal liability in the event of information leaks, which can help them be alert to leaks. This feature can be used especially when the survey contains new product ideas or sensitive information that requires caution.
Set a watermark on your survey
You can set it in 'Survey settings' by going to [Settings] on the left side of the Edit tab. If you want to set a watermark, change it to ON and then proceed with editing and collecting the survey.
📌 Additional Information to Know
If you want to change the watermark setting for the collection group you are collecting, you can do so by [Pause] all ongoing surveys in the Collection tab and then change it. Please note that the watermark is applied equally to all collection groups created in the survey.
You can check the response screen through Preview in the Edit tab. The watermark serial exposed in the preview is all the same as an example.
Check the watermark screen
For a survey with a watermark, a serial number and a warning message indicating that legal responsibility may be incurred in the event of information leaks are displayed on the response screen. The watermark serial number is reflected in the same way as the survey response link identifier, and for a survey with URL parameters set, the parameter values are combined and encrypted and displayed.
📌 Can you identify respondents with a watermark?
It depends on the method of creating the collection group. Since the watermark is reflected in the same way as the survey response link identifier, if information is leaked by collecting it with 'basic link/QR code without setting URL parameters' where all respondents respond with the same link or sending it by 'email/SMS/notification talk with anonymous collection option set' , the respondent cannot be identified by the watermark.
Also, for the collection groups below, although it is possible to identify respondents through watermarks, it is difficult to identify respondents if they remove the watermarks and leak the data. Therefore, please use the watermark function of the data space for preventive purposes.
