Some thoughts: Pete, Thanks for bringing this up here and taking action on meta. I was concerned seeing the link to a commercial company in the central notice banner.
I am wondering why the wmf can't set up a own survey. For example using https://www.limesurvey.org/en/ (https://www.limesurvey.org/en/about-limesurvey/license) To protect users privacy third party services shouldn't be used, especially in central noticed. It would be worth knowing if the wmf needs to pay for that survey stuff. I am also wondering what's the benefit of this survey, but that's a other question...
