I created a survey for an academic study using Google Forms in my Google account. I have been collecting data by sharing links since last May. On 3 December at approximately 10 am, I accessed the form to check the data I had collected. However, two hours later, I was informed that the participants could not access the survey page. I could not see the file I had prepared when I logged into Forms from my Google account. When I clicked on the link I shared, I was informed that I was unable to access the item because it violated our Terms of Service. If you believe this is an error, please submit a review request. I also submitted a review request but have yet to receive any feedback. First and foremost, it is imperative that permissions and ethical approval are obtained from the relevant institutions before embarking on any scientific study. I also have these permissions. I can confirm that my survey questions do not mention any issues that Google claims violate the terms of service. I was not informed why the form of my study was deleted, and I am unable to access the data I collected. It is unacceptable for the data of a scientific study to be confiscated without asking the researcher. If there is a complaint against me, it is wrong for my data collection form and data to be deleted without asking for an explanation. They are not aware that they violated the security of the data I collected, nor are they aware that I have a time limit for my study. The data I have collected must be returned to me as soon as possible.
