Protecting employee confidentiality is a top priority in Macorva EX surveys. Our platform is built with robust, multi-layered safeguards to ensure employee survey responses remain completely anonymous and confidential. This commitment helps build trust and encourages candid feedback.

How Macorva protects anonymity

We use several methods to protect the identity of your employees:

• Anonymity Thresholds: Our primary safeguard is setting a minimum number of respondents required before results for any group are displayed. If a group is too small, the data is hidden to ensure no individual can be identified.
• Data Aggregation: Results are always presented in an aggregated format (like averages or percentages). Individual responses are never shown.
• System-Level Safeguards: After a survey closes, the results are processed and anonymized before being saved to our database. This prevents raw, non-anonymized data from ever being reported.

Anonymity rules by report type 

To apply these principles, Macorva uses specific respondent thresholds that vary depending on the report you are viewing. Here is a detailed breakdown:

Manager View (Org Chart)

• No results shown if fewer than 5 direct reports.
• Completion and engagement shown if ≥ 5 employees received the survey.
• Per-question weighted averages shown if ≥ 5 responses are collected.

Overview View (Employees)

• Requires special permissions.
• Per-question detailed results shown if ≥ 25 responses are collected.
• Per-department weighted averages shown if ≥ 5 responses are collected.

Departments View (Employees)

• Requires special permissions.
• Completion and engagement shown if ≥ 5 employees in the department received the survey.
• Per-question detailed results shown if ≥ 25 responses are collected.

Comment View (Employees)

• Managers may view department comments only if:
  • The department has ≥ 25 employees who received the survey, and
  • All employees in that department report directly to the manager.
