Hi, 1. Very sensitive data to collect. Really must be reviewed thoroughly by legal on how to collect, store and use such information. I personally would feel very uncomfortable answering any of these questions! 2. Is it really that wise to even have that survey prior to a meeting in UAE? It is illegal to be gay or transvestite there (unless something changed recently)...not the most appropriate questions when registering to visit a place where one if present will transgress local laws.
