Findmind is a Swiss online survey tool operated by Fabian Keller as a single-operator service since 2009. The product is positioned for academic and market research workflows (multilingual surveys, multiple question types, graphical reports, Excel/Word export, custom banners and images) and is referenced inside the University of Zurich's Banking & Finance research-tools catalogue, which is a strong (if niche) credibility signal for procurement teams in higher education. The footer copyright reads "© Fabian Keller 2009–2023", suggesting a minimally-maintained but stable product surface.
For an EU-sovereignty audit the listing sits in the "other (Switzerland)" tier. Switzerland is not an EU member but holds an EU adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR (renewed by the European Commission), so cross-border transfers between EU and CH do not require SCCs, a legally clean position. What is not exposed on the public website at audit time is the rest of the procurement-grade chain: there is no resolvable DPA URL, no public sub-processors page, no explicit hosting-provider disclosure, no security overview, and no imprint with a CHE Handelsregister number; the legal-entity structure looks like a sole proprietorship rather than an AG or GmbH. With no positive evidence of US-owned hyperscaler use we set CLOUD Act exposure defensively to minor, but procurement-led buyers should request the underlying hosting provider and a written DPA before signing.
Pricing was not captured at audit (the public landing page rendered only a browser-compatibility notice to WebFetch); the product positions itself as "free/cheap" with a freemium model in CHF and EUR. Best fit: Swiss academic researchers, German-speaking market-research teams, and SMBs that want a simple Swiss-incorporated survey tool with multilingual question support. Procurement-grade buyers requiring named hosting + DPA should prefer Tally (BE) or Tripetto (NL) in this category, both audited below.
