For You

Why Use This Demographic Survey Template?

Built and battle-tested by teams who collect real responses every day.

Inclusive, Validated Items

Gender identity beyond binary (GenIUSS Group recommendations), race/ethnicity aligned to US Census 2020 categories, and sexual orientation items validated by the Williams Institute. Respectful, rigorous, IRB-ready.

Prefer Not to Answer on Every Item

Every sensitive question includes an explicit opt-out. Respondents retain full control — essential for honest response and IRB approval. No forced categorization on identity items.

US and International Modes

Toggle between US Census categories and international equivalents (UK ONS, Canadian StatCan, EU Eurostat). Income brackets localize to currency and PPP-adjusted bands. Essential for multi-country research.

GDPR and IRB-Compliant by Design

Explicit consent checkpoint, purpose-limitation notice, right-to-withdraw language, and anonymous storage by default. Drop-in compliant with IRB protocols, GDPR Article 9 (special categories), and CCPA sensitive personal information rules.
