Review Confidentiality

Blik's review access

Reviewers use tokenized links and reports aggregate responses by category. Tokens may contain invitation email addresses and are linked to responses, so this is not an anonymity guarantee against database administrators.

Choose invitation methods, access permissions, and reporting thresholds carefully. Free-text comments can also identify a reviewer.

Evaluate Lattice's settings

For a hosted review platform, check which roles can see responses, how report thresholds work, and what retention and export terms apply to your contract.

Explain the process and confidentiality limits to participants before collecting feedback. See further reading on 360° feedback.
