Your website says: No credit card or personal information is required.

But you requires Google ID, that seems personal to me...

Edit: yes, I can also "create" an account, but that too is personal information.

Edit 2: after the down vote, let me explain. Calendaring and scheduling is inherently personal. Some websites for demo purposes give out a unique URL, not tied to a log-in. This seems appropriate in this case.

The site is down, but if it just requires an email address and password then I wouldn't class that as personal information. It's easy to create a throwaway.

true about the throw-a-way. I could imagine just how much burden this would carry on mail providers if even 1% of the population created a throw-a-away (or more than one!!) for trying sites like this. At 7.5 billion people on this earth...

There are always services like mailinator

Thanks for your feedback. My intent was not a demo, I would say it is a trial. So the app will need something to identify the user, and I chose email because this will be the main contact channel in case you have further requests such as: password reset, questions, etc...
