    Hi There,

     

    I work for a Mental Health Charity (Rochdale and District Mind) and we have some contact referral forms which we need to make secure.  Our website (www.rochdalemind.org.uk) does not have any security for clients personal information and submitting the data via email is not secure.  We are looking at ways to secure personal data submitted online by our clients.

     

    I was just wondering if your forms are stored on your website and how we could get access to them securely once people have completed and submitted their details?

     

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

     

    Kindest Regards,

    Thank you for contacting us.

    Our forms are secure by default and data submitted through our forms will be secured. But you should be mindful that your website should be secured as well to avoid any possible scripting attacks that can happen before your users even submit the information(That's of course if you decide to embed our form in your website). On the other hand, if you decide to use our forms as a direct link that will open just a form itself you will be ok.

    Also please check some of the templates we have to give you an idea how the forms can look like, there you have section Healthcare that will be probably more interesting to your work.

    If you have any further questions or doubts, please let us know we'll be glad to assist.

    Thank you!

    Many thanks for your quick reply. We will use a direct link to make sure the data is secure.

     

    I have one more question.

    I have created a sample form https://form.jotformeu.com/62432646235353 and tested it with a direct link and when we click SUBMIT the data is saved onto your secure website and also emailed to us.  Is this email data submission secure?

     

    Kind Regards,

    You're welcome, I'm glad I was able to help. 

    Yes, submissions are secured, including emailing them to your email address. If you wish you can delete Notifiers that send email to your email address by simply clicking delete in Email section:
