Should I use SSL feature for my surveys
Hi,I have a subscription with a survey company and I purchased that SSL feature for an additional monthly cost. For those of you who use survey companies, do you think the SSL feature is worth having, and is it likely to increase the amount of responses?At this time, I don`t see the reason for having it. My survey asks mostly opinion questions, demographic questions, and then an option to leave a contact email address. There is no gathering home addresses, phone numbers, names, etc. and most certainly there is no asking for banking or credit card info.Because I am new to this, I may be missing some reason why I might benefit from the SSL feature. Therefore, I am looking for feedback, from those more experienced, about the feature. Thanks so much.

This statement is incorrect if personal information like Address, phone number, etc is asked in the survey.
You don`t need SSL for a simple survey.
This statement is incorrect if personal information like Address, phone number, etc is asked in the survey.But as a bootstrapper, which I assume this person is, what percentage of respondents will absolutely not partake in the survey b/c it does not have https:// access? I would guess that, unless the survey`s target audience is web security/admin personnel, the need for https for something like phone number/name is nil. Less than 1% of non-security people will be knowledgeable enough to even notice that you are using https in the first place. Besides, why do name/phone number need to be requested via https? The phone book has that info for free (as does Google).I would only use https for knowledgeable audiences or if I`m asking particularly sensitive data (such as SSN, credit info).
