LimeSurvey allows users to quickly create intuitive, powerful online forms and surveys that can work for anyone from small business to large business. The survey software is self-guiding for the respondents. They have a cloud hosted option with free and paid tiers, much the same as SurveyMonkey, but there is also the Community Edition which is fully free and open source software which you can self-host. Apart from the freedoms that brings, it also means that any respondent data is also free from tracking and data mining by any 3rd parties.
In this video I tour through a sample survey that I created, where I run through the survey options, I also show how easily a new survey with questions can be started, and I end off with a run through the various general menu configuration options.

The software itself has no tracking afaik, it’s just their website.
You need to separate the commercial website side from the self-hosted code we can use. I posted about the self-hostable code. You are in control of the settings and can examine the code. As it comes the Google API’s etc are all blank and are options for users to use if they wish or not. Unless there is some evidence that they have embedded some evil tracking in the source code, there is no point to just supposing there is something. I did not see any evidence of trackers in the self-hostable code.
A online form from a web which use usertracking, don’t use it also in their surveysoft? Mhh, I’ve my doubts, Google has its tentacles already in too many things and obviously also in this soft. Online tools and collaborative tools are too succulent for it not to take advantage of, if he is already a sponsor of the homepage of this app.
Well, you can opt out of being tracked by Alphabet, but you have to expressly request it in this company with your personal data and have hopes that they respect them.
So what you’re saying is that you have no evidence to support your claim‽
