Exporting quiz data can mean different things to different people and institutions for which the data is being exported. In a nutshell, we believe the reasons to export quiz data could be:

To keep a permanent record

More than often the quizzes and surveys we make online have a certain period of availability or a period of relevance. In these cases, the quiz results data that we acquire and use has to be maintained as a permanent record or at least documented for future references. Exporting quiz and survey data is famously adopted by researchers and surveyors. This data then serves as a permanent record.

To safeguard acquired data

Safeguarding the quiz data is another good reason why you should export your results and quiz information in general. This helps in organizing the acquired data and keeping it safe from online phishing and corruption. Especially in today’s time when zero-party data is the need of the hour, safeguarding your acquired quiz data is essential.
