How secure is my data?
Customers own and control their data. Qualtrics treats all customer data as highly confidential, and does not attest or represent the data. Qualtrics uses industry best practices to keep data safe from criminals and hackers, and have devised proprietary methods to prevent disclosing data to the wrong requester due to programming errors. For more information regarding Qualtrics security go to the Qualtrics Security White Paper.
