Privacy Mode

FormFeeder's privacy mode ensures that sensitive form data is never stored permanently, making it ideal for GDPR compliance and privacy-conscious applications.

How Privacy Mode Works

When privacy mode is enabled:

1. No Database Storage: Form submissions are not saved to any database
2. Direct Forwarding: Data is immediately forwarded to your configured destinations
3. Temporary Processing: Data exists only in memory during processing
4. Automatic Cleanup: All temporary data is automatically purged

File Uploads in Privacy Mode

For forms with file uploads in privacy mode:

• Files are temporarily stored in a separate container
• File metadata is not persisted to the database
• Files are automatically deleted after connector processing
• No permanent traces of uploaded files remain

GDPR Compliance

Privacy mode helps ensure GDPR compliance by:

• Data Minimization: No unnecessary data storage
• Purpose Limitation: Data used only for immediate forwarding
• Storage Limitation: No long-term data retention
• Right to Erasure: No data to erase since nothing is stored

When to Use Privacy Mode

Consider enabling privacy mode when:

• Handling sensitive personal information
• Processing financial or medical data
• Operating in strict regulatory environments
• Users explicitly request no data storage
