It's Yours: On Data Ownership and Why It Matters

It's a question we hear often during the sales process, and its an important one: Who owns the feedback data we collect through EchoSpan, and can we access it easily when we need it?

Our answer is simple: You own your data, and we make it easy for you to use it however you need.

At EchoSpan, we believe that the feedback you collect - from employees, peers, and stakeholders - is one of your organization s most valuable assets. It reflects the voices of your team and provides the insights that guide leadership development and improvement. Since you invested the time and trust to gather this feedback, we think it s only right that you have full control over it.

That philosophy is baked into both our Terms & Conditions and our platform's design. Not only do we clearly state that customers own their data, but we also provide more than three dozen flexible ways to access and download it. Whether you need polished reports, raw data for deeper analysis, or a direct integration into your existing systems, we give you the tools to make it happen.

Here s what that looks like in practice:

• For quick sharing and feedback meetings, you can download PDF and Excel reports summarizing individual and group performance.
• For more granular insights, you can export fully anonymized, respondent-level raw data - complete with rater demographics - so you can analyze results by department, tenure, region, or any other dimension.
• To help uncover trends and comparisons, we offer pre-built crosstabs, pivot tables, and longitudinal exports to track changes over time.
• And for organizations that want real-time integration with their HRIS, business intelligence tools, or dashboards, our secure API gives you programmatic access to your data whenever you need it.

We know that every organization works with data differently, and that s why flexibility is at the heart of our approach. Whether you re running a one-time program or building a long-term analytics strategy, you can be confident your data stays yours - and stays accessible.

So if you re looking for a feedback platform that respects your ownership, provides transparency, and empowers you to get the most out of your insights, we d love to show you how EchoSpan can help.
