# DFN-Terminplaner (Foodle) Service Description

This source describes the **DFN-Terminplaner** (also known as **Foodle**), a web-based tool provided by the **DFN-Verein** for coordinating appointments and events at the university.

## Key Points
- **Purpose**: Simplifies the coordination of dates and times for events.
- **Institutional Recommendation**: The university explicitly recommends using Foodle over external commercial alternatives like **Doodle** for official business.
- **Data Privacy Rationale**: The preference for Foodle is driven by the need to ensure that appointment data and sensitive information are not exposed to third-party providers.
- **Support**: Technical support for the service is provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via their ticket system and hotline.
