To be used with research studies conducted online:

There is a minimal risk that security of any online data may be breached, but since (1) no identifying information will be collected, and (2) [name of specific online host] uses several layers of encryption and firewalls [or whatever is true of your host], it is highly unlikely that a security breach of the online data will result in any adverse consequence for you. (You might include a link to the host’s privacy/data security policy statement).
