    I wan't to be in control of data collected through my forms, and I don't want to ever subject my friends, acquaintances, and colleagues to Google's privacy violations.

    Nextcloud Forms just do the same as Google Forms for me - do survey, ask people what you like to do, collect the results. And the cool thing: You are in full control of the data - and your participants will like it!
