Privacy-first, research-grade
Surveys that treat your respondents' answers as data worth protecting.
empiri is a research-grade survey platform: encrypted responses, honest statistics, multilingual questions with answer coding, and SPSS/R exports — made in Switzerland, hosted in Germany.
Creating an account is free. Organization workspaces are provisioned by the operator — there is no self-service organization signup yet; you can request one after you sign up.
The problem
Most survey products optimise for volume and marketing funnels: your data lives on someone else's cloud, statistics are cosmetic, and privacy is an afterthought. Research-grade, privacy-sensitive work needs a different foundation — one where encryption, anonymity, and defensible statistics are the starting point, not add-ons.
Build
Compose every question type, branch the logic, and author in multiple languages with stable answer codes so your dataset stays comparable across translations. Codes are identity — the same option means the same thing in every language.
Collect
Share open or personalized links and let people answer wherever the link reaches them. The respondent runtime is fully responsive, keyboard- and screen-reader accessible, and autosaves as they go — no account required.
Understand
Live completion and response counts, statistics that don't overclaim, and one-click exports to CSV, SPSS, and R — so your analysis starts in the tools you already trust.
Trust
Respondent answers are encrypted in the database with AES-256-GCM envelope encryption and per-survey keys. Metadata capture is opt-in per survey, with a fully-anonymous mode that stores nothing identifying. No third-party requests, ever.
