Can I change or withdraw a response after submitting it?

To protect data integrity, submissions can’t be edited once recorded. We also have no automated way to let an anonymous respondent access “their” record — anonymity means there’s no account link to authenticate ownership.

Editing responses

If you made a factual error (for example, a misplaced decimal), you can contact support to flag the record.

If your response filled the final slot, timing becomes critical. Once a Survey closes, the report is immediately published with your (bad) data included. Support can coordinate with the Requester to indicate that a correction is pending, but we can’t reach other Respondents who may already have viewed the report.
As a courtesy to your peers, please contact us promptly if you realize a meaningful error.

You won't be able to submit a second response (because you've used up your invite token)

If you have made an error (see above), and you've asked us to delete your survey record, you're not going to be able to submit a new response. Your requester gave you an invitation token, and it was used up to submit the compensation data you asked us to delete. Deleting the compensation record doesn't 'revive' the token (tokens have no connection at all to submitted data to protect your privacy)

So if you do want to correct the record and still participate, please be ready to tell us how to edit your response.

Withdrawing consent

You can withdraw your consent to participate any time before results are released. Once a Survey closes and the final dataset is published, your response becomes part of the statistical output and can no longer be removed.

We use the same procedure as above: contact us with full details of both the Survey (link included) and the specific dataset you submitted.

If you delete your record, your survey results report link will be disabled

Deleting a survey record automatically deletes and disables the results link you received when you submitted your data. Once your data is deleted from a survey, you're no longer a participant and Salary Confidential's principal of peer-to-peer reciprocity of access to results stays consistent
