InviziPoll is an anonymous polling tool for workplaces. People answer without an account, each answer is encrypted in their own browser before it's sent, and you see what the group said without anyone being able to tell who said what; we can't read your answers, and nothing we store links an answer to the person who gave it; use it when trust matters as much as the data: engagement or safety pulses, policy checks, change feedback, and any workplace survey where people won't be candid if they think they can be picked out.
#Who it's for
- HR and people teams running engagement, belonging or safety pulses
- Security and IT groups checking risk awareness or policy alignment
- Leaders who need trends and themes, not individual surveillance
If you need a named follow-up with a specific person, use a different channel. InviziPoll is built so nobody can tell which answers are whose.
#What makes it different
- No accounts, no tracking: Respondents don't sign up, and the page they answer on has no analytics or fingerprinting that would tie an answer to a person.
- Encrypted in the browser: Answers are encrypted on the respondent's device, and we store only the encrypted version. Your browser creates each poll's keys.
- Results that can't be traced back: Scores and choices come back as totals. Written answers are shown word for word, shuffled and undated, once results open. Anyone who'd rather not be read can send just the topics they pick instead. Nobody sees per-person rows, timestamps or the order answers came in.
- Released in groups: Nothing is readable until a poll reaches its minimum group size (never fewer than three). While it's open, the first results appear once three more than that have answered, then new answers arrive in random groups of three to five, with three always held in reserve, so no change you see can be pinned on one person. When the poll closes, everything shows. How batched release works.
You can also publish a signed employee rating with a badge for your careers site, so candidates can check your score came from your own people. See Public employee rating and badge.

- Create a workspace. Sign up from the website. You land in the admin app on a 14-day trial.
- Build a poll. Add questions, set timing, and choose how people get in. Your browser creates the poll's encryption keys when it's first saved.
- Get it to people. New polls start as Open link (one link and QR code) unless your workspace has a contact list, in which case they start as Private: everyone you invite gets a personal, one-use link by email or Slack, and you add recipients before you publish.
- Read results once enough people have answered. Nothing opens below the poll's minimum group size. Then charts and totals appear, and written answers show up shuffled and undated.
#FAQ
No. Confidential usually means someone can see who said what and promises not to share it. InviziPoll is anonymous: nothing we store links an answer to the person who gave it, and we can't read answers. You read totals, and written answers without names, dates or order.
No. They open the personal link you sent them, or the shared link or QR code, plus a PIN if you set one. See Sharing your poll.
Not before the poll reaches its minimum group size, which is never fewer than three. While it's open, the first results appear once three more than that have answered, and when it closes with at least the minimum, everything shows. Details: Viewing results.
Open the admin app and follow Creating your first poll. If you'd like to see results before anyone has answered, try the sample poll.
