Managing survey invitations from former employers
This article concerns survey invitations sent to participants. Coordinator invitations contain different instructions and are addressed in this article.
A survey invitation is the email you receive with your personal link to take part in a survey from Effectory. If you’re not familiar with how survey invitations work, start with the article Understanding your survey invitation.
Why you might receive survey invitations after leaving an organisation
-
Your email address remained on an old distribution list.
-
A project you participated in is still active and your address was not removed.
What should you do?
-
Do not attempt to access the survey. Links are personal and may include sensitive data.
-
Notify your former employer. They can update their participant list and remove your details.
-
Delete or ignore the email. You are not obliged to take part in any surveys, including those sent by former employers.
