Blockchain Community- Inclusion and Diversity Survey DATA PRIVACY NOTICE AND CONSENT
Thank you for your willingness to participate in the 2019 Blockchain Community- Inclusion and Diversity Survey created and conducted by Accenture. Inclusion and diversity (I&D) are proven foundational elements for driving innovation and enabling trusted communities— and at its core—Blockchain is about innovation and creating trusted networks. Therefore, the Blockchain community has a key role to play to address current I&D challenges (e.g. underrepresentation of women and minorities) across the Blockchain ecosystem. Developing strategies and solutions to address these challenges is not only a commercial necessity but also the right thing to do. Your completion of this survey will help to 1) provide research driven insights to better understand the current state of inclusion and diversity in blockchain and 2) inform strategic priorities and community actions items to better build an inclusive and diverse pipeline of people, services, and products. Your responses may also be used for research, data analysis and statistical purposes and may be combined with demographic data and previous/future survey responses to produce anonymous, aggregated reports which may be distributed internally within Accenture and/or externally to our clients/third parties for the purposes stated above.
The survey takes about approximately 6-8 minutes to complete. It is important that you respond candidly throughout this survey, so we can get accurate results. Please do not refer to yourself or other individuals by name or another identifier when responding.
Participation in this survey is optional and entirely voluntary (there are no individual consequences if you choose not to respond).
All responses you provide will be treated confidentially and aggregated with other responses. Your individual response will not be shared in an identifiable form with our clients or anyone within Accenture, other than: (i) Accenture Research team supporting the analysis.
All parties that have access to your survey responses or are involved in creating reports/data analysis will be subject to strict confidentiality obligations in relation to access and use of the data and will be given adequate training on how to handle the data confidentially.
