Hello Niklas, Thanks for bringing it up. I should really write a guide on the privacy website for this.
So far, I have no tool recommendation, but I can tell you what to watch out for: 1) The survey is best distributed by mailing list (or personal message). If you enter email addresses to a tool, that sends emails on your behalf, it is problematic 2) Collecting email addresses: it is OK if you have a good reason. I recommend to make it optional. Just so you know, you need to tell your users exactly what you use the email address, and you cannot use it for different purposes afterward. Also, you'll need to tell your users when deleting this email address again. Recommendation: ensure your users that the responses and the email addresses are not stored in the same file (this will come up). Usually, I try to avoid collecting any personal data with surveys 3) If you are using a hosted tool, you need to tell your users where they will end up before they click on your link. 4) I don't recommend Google Forms, but if you must use it, try to not collect personal data 5) If you can, try to host the survey yourself or check the provider for "GDPR compliance." If you decide for one, you can also send me the link and I will check https://fosspost.org/open-source-survey-software/ Previously, we have paid a third party for the D&I survey. It was expensive (afaik), so I assume it is impossible for your project. If you find interesting tools/software, I will gladly check everything for you and get the documents in order.
