Regarding the usage survey (Feb 2017)

[gracious1]

Regarding the current usage survey, I understand why you require respondents to include a valid email address—to prevent spamming, stuffing the ballot box, etc. I trust, however, that you separate the answers of the survey and the respondent's contact info, so that the survey is effectively anonymous?

The idea, as I understand it, is to only accept valid user's input not bogus results from bots or people out to skew the results. For instance, results from palemoonsucks@mozillafanboy.com or chomeis@thefuture.com would be discarded, is my guess.

Again, as I understand it and how it has always worked is, once the survey ends the data is tabulated and the emails are destroyed.

Is there a way to answer to the survey in an alternative way, I mean without accessing google servers?

My location tells you why...

That was my worry also, though I don't live in China, we are not exactly living in the land of the free anymore and I
simply don't trust Google. Not even with my email address.
