Is my Slido question actually anonymous?

Is an anonymous question in Slido Q&A truly anonymous? In other words, if I ask a question anonymously, will administrators within my company or anyone else know who submitted the question?

Hi @t.rex62694 

If a question is asked anonymously, it’s truly anonymous through and through. And the same goes with anonymous poll submissions.

Admins cannot see any identifying information tying a question or poll response to any particular participant.

 

Hope this helps!

What about if I’m using a paid plan? Can I then learn the identity of an anonymously submitted question or poll response?

Hey @Yai ,

Even with paid plans, anonymous participation in Slido is always anonymous.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best,

My team member was bullied this morning through an anonymous comment - is there no way to identify who this was? The comment goes against company values.

Hello @adrienne 

I’m so sorry to hear that. We do technically collect IP addresses, but we are not able to share those, even if requested by a user. The only exception is when the request comes from a law enforcement agency or authority.

Please check out our Slido Privacy to learn more about what we collect and why we need it. You can also find this information in our security standards: https://www.slido.com/security#faq.

In case it would be helpful for your next sessions using Slido, you can check out our Q&A Moderation feature which allows you or another co-host to review every question before it goes live. 

I hope this helps.
