SSL Encryption:
If you are concerned about extra security, we offer SSL encryption for the survey link,
survey pages, and exports during transmission. A survey with SSL encryption shows
the 's' in the 'http' URL address. It appears as:
https://www.surveymonkey.com
This is commonly used for online banking or sites that transmit secured information.
In order to stay in compliance with HIPAA regulations, we recommend that SSL
encryption be purchased for your account.
The cost is an additional $9.95 per month or $100 with the yearly subscription.
