3. Privacy for respondents of a Skyra survey
Information we collect
As part of the service, Skyra surveys are conducted on our customers' websites. These surveys collect both responses and device data from participants who choose to respond. The survey does not intend to collect personal data, except when inviting participants to user testing. Responses are submitted continuously as users click "Next" in the survey.
Survey responses
- Predefined answer choices
- Free-text comments
- For user testing recruitment, respondents may be asked for their name, email, and phone number, which are stored in a contact list.
We do not store personal data unless a user voluntarily enters it into a free-text field. Surveys can include a prompt advising users not to enter personal data and will also block certain free-text responses if personal data is detected. If personal data is submitted within a free-text field, it will be deleted in Skyra.
User testing registration
Our surveys may include an invitation to participate in user testing. Those who register are added to a contact list for scheduling user testing when needed.
Privacy related to user testing recruitment is described separately her.
Device data collected from surveys
- Browser name and version
- Browser user agent string
- Operating system
- Device type
- Pseudonymized IP address (used for geolocation lookup – city-level location of the respondent)
- Connection speed (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G)
- URL where the response was given
Cookies
Skyra surveys use cookies to ensure a smooth user experience. The purpose is to prevent users who have already submitted a response or chosen not to participate from being invited again. Cookies store whether a user should be re-invited and save this preference with a randomly generated identifier.
The script that runs Skyra surveys requires two cookies for proper functionality.
Cookie 1
- Name: skyra.state
- Function: Assigns a random code to the user's device.
- Purpose: Helps Skyra remember the user and track whether surveys are open, closed, or completed.
Cookie 2
- Name: skyra<survey-slug>
- Function: Stores responses as the user submits them. Depending on the survey setup, this is either a session cookie or a cookie that expires within a few hours. The cookie is always deleted when the survey is completed or closed.
- Purpose: Used by Skyra to display the correct survey card while the user navigates different pages.
These are first-party cookies, meaning they are created using a script running on the website where Skyra is implemented. Both cookies have a lifespan of 365 days and are classified as functional cookies.
Purpose: Why we collect this information
We collect this data as part of our service to provide insights and analysis on how our customers' websites are experienced by end users. We use cookies (local storage) to track your consent status and whether you are currently participating in the survey.
Legal basis
We process your data based on your consent. Consent for Skyra cookies is considered granted in accordance with the privacy policy of the respective website where Skyra is implemented. Consent for user testing registration is given through Skyra’s sign-up form.
When a user visits a website where Skyra is active, the website’s privacy policy applies to all data collected on that website.
Other
Data retention
Personal data will be processed and stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected.
Your rights
You have the right to:
- Access your data and receive a copy of it.
- Request correction if your information is incorrect or outdated.
- Request immediate deletion of your data.
- Receive information about how we process your data.
- File a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) if you believe your rights have been violated.

5. Important features for GDPR in the Skyra Application
Privacy, security, and accessibility
Privacy in surveys and dashboard
- It is possible to include a prompt in the survey asking users not to enter personal information.
- Survey settings can be adjusted to block the submission of certain types of personal information such as social security numbers, phone numbers, and email addresses.
- Text in free-text responses can be masked.
- All responses given by a respondent can be deleted.
- Responses can be flagged for further review.
- Search functionality makes it easy to search through large amounts of responses to check for unwanted words.
- Surveys can also be set up without free-text fields, using only predefined answer options. This makes it impossible to submit personal information.
- For user testing recruitment, active consent is required. A link to the customer’s own privacy policy can also be included. The registered data is stored in the customer’s contact list.
Security: Login and data storage
- Skyra stores data with the French cloud provider Scaleway. The data stored includes responses and data received from surveys, as well as customer user account details (name and email).
- Skyra encrypts data with Transport Layer Security (TLS level 1.3) during transmission between the survey and the cloud provider.
- Skyra encrypts data at rest with AES-XTS 256-bit encryption.
- Skyra uses OAuth2-based login via third parties (e.g., Google Workspace) or an email-based "Magic Link" login flow. Passwords are not stored by Skyra.
Access control
- Skyra is a platform where the customer can log in themselves. To limit access to different surveys, responses, and settings, customers can set access levels in the following ways:
- User: A user can be set as view/edit/admin. Admin has access to invite new users.
- Teams: Teams make it easy to manage a large number of users. A user can be added to one or more teams and will have access to data based on this. Customers choose which team a user belongs to.
- For security reasons, approved email domains are defined, so customer accounts must have an email address with an approved domain.
- Employees at Skyra who support customers in using the tool and analyzing data may have access to the customer's Skyra account. All users with access must always be invited and will appear in the list of users.
Accessibility
- Skyra supports WCAG 2.1 in the surveys displayed on the customer’s website.
- WCAG 2.1 is not supported in the dashboard used by the customer’s staff.
