Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

LimeSurvey is an open source survey tool from Germany. It offers survey solutions for enterprises, universities and students, with a rich set of features, options for anonymous responses and an emphasis on keeping the tool easy to use.

The software is open source and can be self-hosted, while the managed version is hosted in the EU, so research data stays in Europe. As a European alternative to the American survey platforms, it suits universities, research groups and companies that run surveys regularly.

Pricing

The basic plan costs 34 euros per month and covers 1,000 responses per month with 250 MB of upload storage and support. Expert, Enterprise and custom plans are available above that.

Data and operations

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Zoho Mail. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
