Friendica in Luxembourg

You stated that you "collect and store information about your name, e-mail address and country", but the fact is you also ask for "zip code" too, which is not mentioned here! Would you care to explain why?

https://publiccode.eu/en/privacy/

The alarming part is that over 36K individuals signed this and have put a check mark for "I have read and accepted the privacy statement".

A screenshot of the first two paragraphs of the Privacy Policy page of the publicCode.eu. the verbatim copy of the visible text of Privacy Policy:

The publiccode.eu web site is run by the FSFE e.V. When this policy refers to “we”, this means the FSFE.
What we collect and why

When you use the website to sign our open letter, we collect and store information about your name, e-mail address and country, which you have provided with your consent. We will publicly show your name as a signee to the open letter if you consented to publicly show name in the list of signatures. We will also provide your name and country to the recipients of the open letter (members of the European Parliament and national or regional parliaments). We will not share your e-mail address. We store this information in a database for the duration of the Public Money - Public Code campaign and remove it afterwards.

If you have consented to being contacted about the campaign, we will use your e-mail address to send you information about the campaign during and immediately after the campaign.

a screenshot of the form in fsfe's website PublicCode.eu to sign the open letter. the form asks for "Name", "Email", county, and "Zip Code".

there are also three check boxes:
1. "I have read and accepted the privacy statement"
2. "I want my signature to appear in the list of signatures"
3. "I want to stay informed about the future of this campaign"

that's actually the law here in Peru, has been since mid-90s.

All the. Gob.pe web pages have gif logos about "information transparency/access".

Although I suspect that most IT budgets are presented as "licensed" of even "bought" software regardless of how specific development it was. It seems people think development has to be imported.

At least it means all the data is accessible in PDF, HTML, or even CSV if it's tabular. No .doc or .xls files anywhere.
