Custom Questions: Choosing the right information
The new Question Library feature is currently accessible in view-only mode and is not yet available to all users. When reviewing these articles, please keep in mind that certain functionalities may still be unavailable.
When creating custom survey questions, ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR restricts the collection of certain personal data unless exemptions apply.
Restricted Data Categories
You cannot process data related to:
X Racial or ethnic origin (e.g., nationality, country of birth, ancestry)
X Sexual orientation (e.g., sexual preferences)
X Political views
X Religious or philosophical beliefs
X Trade union membership
X Genetic, biometric, or health data
(e.g., asking about workload is fine, but not stress or illness caused by it)
X Criminal convictions and offences
(e.g., asking about experiences of workplace harassment is allowed, but not whether someone committed harassment)
Best Practices
✔ Keep questions neutral and workplace-focused.
✔ If sensitive data is needed, check legal requirements.
✔ Always ensure GDPR compliance before conducting surveys.
