Personal Data in Survey Downloads

To protect volunteers’ privacy we don’t include personal data in survey downloads. We use two fields to help administrators correlate surveys with separately downloaded account data:

• Screen name — this is a name chosen by the surveyor as their preferred way of being credited for their contributions. Screen names default to surveyors’ real names but can be customised on your My Account page (see Changing your Email Address, Password, and Personal Details).
• User ID — this long sequence of hexademical digits is a unique code referring to the user’s Cartographer user account.

See our Guide to Privacy and GDPR for more information on how we support users’ privacy.
