It would be great if we could generate a csv file with token links. Of course you can do it by hand (as I described in the workaround section), but creating a bunch of dummy tokens and then export the links would be great.

When needing real anonymous token : i always do like this. Never use information user on token.

One time : token distribution was done with little paper in a hat …
And final client din't have access to database. I‘m the only one with access to DB.

Currently in France : you have to register IP and keep it one year in your log, and what action is done. Then : looking at the id of the response table + log : you have the IP who start to answer to this question … even without token. It's the prooff thet nothing is anonymous … if you host data yourself.

You're right about “it is important to consider "anonymous" rather an internal process/rule than a technical process.“ And a hoster must do exactly the same think than questionpro : Get token completed/not completed in token table, but disable access of this token table to final user …

EDIT : there are an issue in questionpro : “ If the respondent requests his response data to be removed from the servers as a result of the breach” then there are a link between data and email … this link didn't exist in limesurvey even with databreach …

Once the personal data is completely separated from the survey data you will not be able to delete the survey responses, because there is no way to know what there response is. But I think this is OK with the GDPR, because it is no personal data anymore. Of course, if you ask personal data in the questionnaire that can identify the respondent, then you will have to delete the entry manually.

Overall, I think if you don't store personal data for long, if you have the consent of the participants, etc. the chance that someone is asking for deleting personal data is probably pretty low.

GDPR was created with Facebook, Google and Co. in mind. All the other "little" everyday cases are often not really fitting well. Will take time to get the playbook.
