Why do I need to ask for participants' names?
When running an Unmoderated Study on Askable, whether a Survey or Online Task, Askable recommends clients to ask for a Full Name Question within the survey/task as the easiest & best method to identify participants.

To help us identify your response for you Askable incentive, please provide your Name as shown on Askable.
This is so you can cross-check your responses between the tool you’re using and Askable so you’re only paying for those who have completed the task in full. We recommend you do this to save you from paying for any incomplete/false responses.
In the rare cases where participants has abandoned or skipped through the questions, you may choose to cancel them to replace with someone else.
You get a 24 hour time frame to "check their submissions" after they have completed the task to ensure all is well. After the 24 hour window, they will receive their payments.

I want to anonymise my Survey or Online Task
You can choose to ask for their First name + Initial of surname instead. This is your next best option 🤓
Example: John S
Alternatively, you can get participants to create a self-generated code

To help us cross-reference your Survey response, please key in your [Initial of First Name, Initial of Surname, Last 2 Digits of birth year]

You will be asked to enter the same code when completing the Survey again, thank you.
