   >Hello and thank you for participating in this survey.   
   >Our goal is to understand how we might improve Tor Browser.   
   >You'll be asked some questions about how and why you use Tor Browser as   
   >well as any challenges you may have encountered along the way.

   >Privacy policy   
   >The Tor Project is committed to upholding your privacy while handling your   
   >feedback. Here's what you need to know:   
   >This survey is powered by LimeSurvey, an open-source survey tool self-   
   >hosted by the Tor Project. The data we collect from this survey will be   
   >stored exclusively on servers managed by the Tor Project and anonymously   
   >aggregated in our reporting. In our reporting, we may include full or   
   >partial respondent quotes, but only after removing any personally   
   >identifiable information.   
   >Tor Project employees, authorized contractors, and core contributors will   
   >be able to view your individual responses. In addition, this study has been   
   >configured to record:   
   >  The time and date your response was started   
   >  The time and date your response was submitted   
   >This data will be wiped from LimeSurvey no later than 180 days after its   
   >recording, allowing sufficient time for the Tor Project to compile your   
   >feedback and complete our report.   
   >This survey is not configured to record your IP address. This survey is   
   >also available as an onion site, providing a greater level of security and   
   >privacy for survey respondents.   
   >For your safety, we recommend high-risk individuals not include any   
   >personally identifiable information.
