I work for a research institute with LS for first time and we are doing a survey where privacy is a very big priority. We have surveys with several parts that are connected via end-urls to prevent that we could infer personal data in the answers.
Currently the only problem is the "submitdate"-section in the table , which consists of day and time. We need the date itself, because we want to send an e-mail to the participants who have left after a certain period of time to find out the reason for leaving (via our data protection officers, who do not receive the other answers). But the time is too sensitive for us, because in linking the timestamps you can link several survey parts that contain personal information (especially the part with a small lottery, where the email is given again. The reasons are too complex to discuss in detail.

How can we get around this problem?

Add a hidden equation type question and load it with the date in your preferred format with the ExpressionScript date() function.

Better late than never: Thanks, this helped a lot! Did it exactly that way and it worked perfectly
