Privacy statement: Leapers Mental Health and Freelancing Survey 2026

Who runs this survey

Leapers is run by Foxlark Strategy Limited, which is the data controller for this survey. Foxlark Strategy Limited is registered in England and Wales, company number 11158823.

What we collect

We collect your answers to the survey questions and nothing else. We don’t ask for your name, email address or any contact details.

Some questions cover personal topics, like your mental health, ethnicity, caring responsibilities and income. Every one of these has a “Prefer not to say” option. You can skip anything you’re not comfortable answering.

Your answers are anonymous

We don’t collect anything that identifies you, so we can’t link any answer back to you.

How we use your answers

We use them for one thing: our annual open report on freelancer mental health. We only publish combined findings, never individual responses. We don’t share raw responses with anyone, including partners, sponsors or government. We don’t sell them, and we don’t use them for marketing.

How long we keep them

We keep the anonymous responses indefinitely. This lets us track how freelancer mental health changes from year to year.

Where they’re stored

Responses are collected and stored by Tally, our form provider. Tally is based in the EU and processes the data on our behalf.

Taking part

Taking part is voluntary, and you can stop at any time. Your answers are saved as you go, so if you leave partway through, the answers you’ve already given may still be included in our anonymous findings. Because we can’t tell which responses are yours, we can’t find, change or delete your answers once you’ve given them.

Questions
