Why Survey Tools Collect Email Addresses
Survey and feedback platforms capture respondent information for follow-up, analysis and relationship building. When surveys include an email field or require authentication, every response carries an email address. These email addresses are useful for follow-up campaigns, segmentation, customer feedback loops and research communications.
