Kultify
Anonymity & data protection

Anonymity your employees can rely on

Employees give honest answers only when they truly feel safe. Your survey participants stay anonymous: technically, organizationally, and verifiably.

Anonymity by design

At Kultify, anonymity is built into the platform architecture

From k-anonymity through technical access restrictions to GDPR documentation, protection applies at every level. So your works council approves, your data protection officers are reassured, and your employees answer honestly.

k-anonymity

See results only once the minimum response count is reached

Individual answers cannot be identified, not even by managers with system access. The principle of k-anonymity ensures this: results are evaluated and displayed only once the minimum response count is reached.

Technical protection

Answers cannot be traced back to a person

Neither IP addresses nor device information are stored alongside survey answers. There is no technical way to link an answer to a specific person, neither for admins nor for Kultify itself.

GDPR compliance

Every document your data protection officer needs, ready to go

You receive all GDPR-relevant documents and evidence your data protection officer needs: data processing agreement, record of processing activities, and technical and organizational measures.

AI anonymity

Even under AI analysis, your answers stay in the EU

Topic clustering, sentiment, and classification of sensitive comments run exclusively in EU data centers. By contract, no training is performed on customer data.

Works council

Your works council gets all the information it needs

Introducing an employee survey is subject to co-determination. You receive the information package for the works council that puts approval on common ground from the start.

Transparent data processing

What happens with your employees' data, step by step

1

Receive the invitation

Employees receive the invitation by email, QR code, or notice. The answer stays separate from it and cannot be traced back to the person.

2

Answer anonymously

Answers are stored without IP address, device ID, or timestamp. The link to the person is severed technically.

3

Evaluate in aggregate

Results are shown only in aggregated form. k-anonymity ensures that no group is too small for an evaluation.

4

Delete securely

Once the agreed retention period ends, all data is deleted completely and irreversibly. Earlier on request.
