Understanding the Details

Data Collection and Security

Full embeds maintain the same data collection and security standards as standalone questionnaires. All responses are encrypted and transmitted securely, with participant privacy protected according to your organization's data policies.

Branding and Customization

While the embed removes Zencity's header and footer elements, your questionnaire content, styling, and branding remain intact. This creates a cohesive experience that feels native to your website while maintaining questionnaire functionality.

Performance and Loading

Full embeds are optimized for quick loading and minimal impact on your website's performance. The questionnaire loads asynchronously to avoid affecting your page's overall speed and user experience.

Important Notes

Complete Functionality: Full embeds provide the identical questionnaire experience as standalone versions, including all interactive features and response collection.

Automatic Updates: Embedded questionnaires automatically reflect changes made to your engagement without requiring code updates.

Security Maintained: All access controls, security settings, and data protection measures remain in effect for embedded questionnaires.
