Account suspended: Collecting SSN

    Asked on February 18, 2020 at 2:19 PM

    Hi - looks like my acct is suspended?  reading another post, looks like it is because of some sensitive info we requested - i.e. SSN.  I'm fine to eliminate that portion.  Can we do that and reactivate?

    I have checked your account and I see that it was suspended for suspicious phishing activity due to the following forms with the fields asking for sensitive information from respondents.

    MG Tax Questionnaire

    Clone of MG Tax Questionnaire

    I have reactivated your account. However, to prevent the same inconvenience from happening in the future, please make sure that you have included in your form both a Signature widget AND a Terms&Conditions widget.

    The widgets will serve as proof that your respondents agreed to have their sensitive information collected through your form.


    Feel free to let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Hi Mike – thanks again. Curious,
    is there a way to turn on SSL and Encryption on my existing form?
