Anonymous feedback form
An anonymous form strips the identity fields so people can share candid feedback. This form has no name, no email, nothing that could identify the respondent — only what they are saying, how strongly they feel, and an optional way to follow up if they choose to. The anonymity is deliberate, but it is not absolute: timestamps, a follow-up email address or even distinctive writing can still identify someone, so plainness and honesty in the feedback matter more than counting on secrecy.
The form beside this text is live. Fill it in and submit it — it validates exactly as it would for a real respondent, and saves nothing.
Omitting name and email keeps respondents anonymous
A form with no identity fields cannot identify respondents, so feedback stays candid. A follow-up email is optional and clearly marked as separate — a respondent can give feedback and stay anonymous while leaving contact info if they choose.
A slider forces a position instead of hedging
A text box invites "somewhat bad" or "kind of frustrated". A slider from 1–5 makes respondents commit: you learn not just that something is wrong, but how wrong. A 5 on product quality is not the same as a 2.
No card required.

Live previewHow to build this form
7 steps in the editor. Nothing here needs a paid plan.
- Do NOT add name, email or any identifier field. Anonymity is the point, so leave those off entirely.
- Add a dropdown for topic or category so you can organize feedback — product, support, website, management, culture, safety, or whatever matters to your organization.
- Add a slider question asking "How strongly do you feel about this?" set to 1–5 so you can see which topics generate strong reactions.
- Add a required long text field asking "What happened?" so respondents explain their feedback. This is where the real information is.
- Add an optional text field for suggestions. Some people have ideas; some are just venting. Leave it optional.
- Add an optional email field labeled clearly: "Your email if you want follow-up on this feedback (completely optional, does not identify your feedback)". A follow-up email is optional and private.
- In Settings, turn on a destination like Slack or Discord so you get notified of feedback as it arrives. Do not rely on remembering to check the dashboard.

What goes wrong with this form
Specific to a anonymous feedback form, not general advice about forms.
Asking for name or email on the main form
Do not do this. The moment you collect a name or email on the form itself, the feedback is no longer anonymous — even if you tell people it is. A separate, optional follow-up field is honest and makes the anonymity real.
Making the feedback field optional
Require the "What happened?" field so every submission has substance. An optional feedback field invites thumbs-up/thumbs-down ratings without explanation, which is not actionable. Make the rating optional but the explanation required.
Assuming Seagit Forms provides anonymity on its own
Seagit does not anonymize responses, IP addresses or timestamps. If you need technical anonymity — no timestamp, no IP, no way to correlate responses — you need a specialized anonymity platform. This form is anonymous by design (no name field), not by technology.
Questions about this form
Is anonymous feedback truly anonymous?
Not absolutely. Your form does not collect a name, but the responses are timestamped, and an optional follow-up email is visible to you. The writing style itself can identify someone — distinctive complaints or knowledge can narrow it down. Anonymity is about removing NAME and EMAIL and letting people say things they would not say out loud; it is not a promise of absolute secrecy.
Can I identify someone from their feedback?
Possibly, if the feedback is specific enough — "my direct manager yells at our team every Monday" describes a particular incident. But that is also what makes it valuable: specific feedback is actionable. Do not invite people to report problems they would be punished for naming, and do not use this feedback to hunt down who said it.
What if someone leaves an email but their feedback is harmful?
You can choose to follow up. If the feedback is a genuine safety or conduct concern, follow your organization's policy for reporting and investigation. If it is a complaint about a policy, you have the chance to explain. You do not have to act on a follow-up email, but you have it if you choose to.
