Google Forms
Free online form and survey builder from Google with Google Sheets responses, logic and file uploads.
About Google Forms
Google Forms is a free, web-based tool for building online forms and surveys. Users choose from question types, arrange questions by drag and drop, and share forms by email, social media, or embedded on a website. Responses can be viewed in real time as automatically generated charts, and raw data can be exported to Google Sheets for more detailed analysis. Forms can also be shared with others so that results can be reviewed together in one place.
The homepage describes security measures, including encryption of files created in Forms or uploaded to Google Drive during transfer and at rest, and says the security, privacy, and compliance features are reviewed regularly by independent bodies. These are Google's own statements, and the page gives no detail on how they apply to a specific use. The homepage also does not list which features are included in the free offering.
