11 [[Framadate>>https://framadate.org/abc/en/]] was chosen as the polling and scheduling software because of its //heavy// emphasis on user privacy. Framadate requires no names, no email, or any other identifying information, making it a valuable service for this community. All polls are completely and permanently deleted 30 days after the poll concludes. In addition, in Framadate's own words:

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.
17 >4. Behind a service like Framadate there is a political proposal: exploring an alternative to surveillance capitalism by experimenting with the contribution society.
