Usually, I'd expect an encrypted connection between user and server so that the survey data can be protected against a man-in-the-middle attack. However, this particular survey doesn't ask for information that is very personal in nature with the possible exception of age group (e.g. 13-20, 21-30, ..., 51 and above).<div>
