I would have signed it, but while reading your "Privacy Policy" I found one interesting issue:

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 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"

To elaborate further, I want to know two things'

  1. How the zip code is treated (who gets access, where will it get published,...)

  2. Why such an oversight in such fundamental legal document.
