Dear BioStar community members,
We are researchers at Carnegie Mellon University who are conducting a survey of users who compose web services in their workflows to build applications. One of the goals of this survey is to better understand the privacy concerns of web service users (or lack thereof) across different domains, and how well users are able to resolve these concerns. Even if you have no data privacy and security problems while using web services, we would still appreciate your feedback because that would give us a better perspective of the problem scenario in the bio-informatics domain.
Please take time to fill the following questionnaire: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WNMCWXS
The survey consists of maximum 17 questions and can be completed in about 10 minutes. There are no correct or incorrect responses. This survey is approved by CMU Institutional Review Board (IRB), and would follow the appropriate safety protocols set by the IRB (Protocol Number: HS11-091). All responses would be treated confidentially and will not be traceable to individual respondents.
Thank you in advance for your assistance and time !!
Best Regards,
Vishal Dwivedi and Kun Niu

Not a real question...
Pierre is right, because they prefer the answer in email (which makes sense if you really have serious privacy concerns and would rather not want to even talk about that), but the question itself and the consequences are interesting enough since it could influence how you want to build a webservice.
The problem with this question is that only looks like a question but in fact is a recruitment for one's personal research. It is not unlike saying: Are you interested in genome sequencing? Buy our equipment today.
