ID hashing

Hello, I would like to create a survey with a question asking for the responders' ID number (social security number) in order to cross-reference their answers with a different database (not stored in Qualtrics). In order to comply with my organization data security requests, I would like to automatically hash the ID values so I will be blinded to the real ID number. Is it possible? Thank you for your answer.

    You would have to replicate the hash algorithm used in the other database in JavaScript so you can match ids. Create your own html text input element that Qualtrics doesn't know about so it won't be recorded, then run the value through your hash algorithm and save the hash in an embedded data field.
