13 +>Framadate: An Emancipatory Tool
14 +>1. Framadate is **free, without ads or click traps**. Our goal is to host a tool that serves you and does not use you. Contrary to the adage, here, **you are not the product**.
15 +>2. Framadate collects as little data as possible. **You have complete autonomy over it**. We have no interest in tracking your behaviour, nor in exploiting it.
16 +>3. Framadate is based a Free-libre software. **Its code is transparent, publicly auditable** and there are no hidden features. It is built by the community, and everyone is free to fork it and lead the project in new directions.
