By selecting E-mail survey your survey is distributed as a link though e-mail. The system uses the respondent’s e-mail address to identify the individual respondents.

By choosing Link survey your survey is distributed via a link. You can share this link in different ways, e.g. by e-mail or on your website. Since a link survey cannot be connected to a specific e-mail address, the survey is held anonymously.
