what is a SSL submission?

Secure or SSL Forms are for secure communications between the client (i.e the end user of your form) & Jotforms' servers. These communications are encrypted to prevent snooping by a 3rd party and are useful if any of your forms contain sensitive information such as credit card or payment details or any other data of a personal nature.
