My work sends out “anonymous” surveys about random stuff to get a feel for what’s working and what’s causing problems. If you don’t fill it out you get an email from HR reminding you that you haven’t filled out the “anonymous” survey.
I mean it’s absolutely possible and pretty trivial to do in-house online surveys so that you know whether someone has answered but can’t immediately connect answers to individuals, especially if the survey didn’t use an in-house web service.
Whether I’d trust a corporation that says some survey is anonymous is another matter entirely though, because I absolutely wouldn’t
