I need to export data into an excel spreadsheet but it's encrypted

    At the request of families we used an encrypted format for our registration. But now the data is useless to me because when I try to export it in any form, it's encrypted. Is there any way to use the data outside the jotform webpage?

    It should be noted that setting up a form as encrypted comes at the cost of some convenience.
     
    •Notifications will only alert the user that a submission was received- they won’t include the content of the response. (That’s the whole point! The info isn’t legible from our servers.)
    •Users must log into JotForm and also need to enter their private key in order to view their form responses, 
    •If you lose the private encryption key, your data is gone. We can’t reset it in a such a way as to recover previously encrypted responses.
    •Some of the features are not available: PDF Downloads, Reports, Emails that contain form data in them. 
     
     
    If you need to use those features, it would require removing encryption from the form.
