In survey mode, submissions are stored in a PostgreSQL database for aggregated research analysis. Do not include confidential information, customer-specific records, internal controls, or non-public commercial terms in free-text fields.

Data captured in survey mode

• Structured responses for role, organization type, region, pain categories, audit workflow burden, and operational signals.
• Optional free-text for "other" category clarifications and biggest industry pain point.
• Optional email and explicit consent flag for research update contact.
• Submission timestamp and a hashed source IP for abuse monitoring.

Data retention

• Survey records are retained for up to 18 months from submission date, then deleted from PostgreSQL.
• If research closes earlier, remaining records are deleted within 90 days of study close.
