Hi Amber,

I'm collecting information about if the responders consider themselves to have a disability, what Mobile OSes they use, and What devices or assistive technology they use on those devices. No organization is involved. I personally decided to solicit this information out of my own curiosity.

The information will be shared back to the accessibility community to provide more details on how these devices might be used by people with different abilities. I hoping this may help guide better accessibility testing ang the creation of new accessibility guidelines, but we shall see.

the survey is as anonymous as a non-authenticated Google form can be. All questions are optional, no name, age, sex or contact information (including email address) is requested. I am not sure what information Google automatically collects.

Google's Privacy policy is here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Once I close the survey, I plan to download the data and wipe any data that could be used to trace answers back to individuals if any of that information is provided by Google (e.g., ip address, browser, etc.) as I don't need it or want to be responsible for storing that information.

If you do not feel comfortable fill out the survey or sharing it then do not participate or share it.

I appreciate the questions.

Thankx,
