SurveyLegend: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SurveyLegend is a web-based platform for building surveys, forms and polls and analysing the responses. It offers a drag-and-drop builder with more than twenty question types, branching logic, design themes with custom branding, multilingual surveys and export of results to formats such as CSV and XLSX. Surveys are shared by link, email or QR code, or embedded on a website. The vendor lists customer and employee feedback, market research and academic research among its uses. SurveyLegend is offered as a cloud service (SaaS) in the browser.

SurveyLegend is owned by SurveyLegend AB, a privately held company based in Sweden. According to its security page, data is hosted on DigitalOcean servers in Frankfurt, Germany, with backups in Frankfurt, and traffic is protected with TLS 1.3. The product is not open source and is delivered only as a cloud service. For a European organisation this means that both the vendor and the primary hosting are located within the EU. For a data processing agreement and the exact list of subprocessors, contact the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with SurveyLegend

SurveyLegend is headquartered in SE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so SurveyLegend scores best on data residency.

SurveyLegend is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs SurveyLegend together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
