++1. Even the request to send the filled form to you by e-mail is breaking anonymity. That is a no-go for me. At my university, the psychology and sociology departments often do surveys, in which I occasionally participate. They do ask you for your signature (they need confirmation that they are allowed to use the data), but that always is ON A SEPARATE SHEET and kept separate from the forms that one fills. Sometimes they want to correlate data from different surveys. But even in that case, they would not ask you for your name or e-mail, but they would ask you to create a code, formed by, say, the day (not the month) of your birthday and by the first two letters of your mother's and your father's first name. It is like a hash code: It allows to determine some correlation, but it should not provide enough information to identify an individual.
