We’re here for you! * [Support Forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/airy-frontend-forms/) ### External Services This plugin optionally connects to the following external service: #### Google reCAPTCHA v3 **What it is:** Google reCAPTCHA v3 is an anti-spam service provided by Google that helps protect your forms from automated bot submissions and spam. **When it’s used:** This service is only used if you enable the reCAPTCHA feature in the plugin settings (Settings > Airy Forms > CAPTCHA). When enabled, it runs on every form submission to verify that the submission is from a real user and not a bot. **What data is sent:** When reCAPTCHA is enabled and a user submits a form, the following data is sent to Google’s servers: * The reCAPTCHA response token (generated by Google’s JavaScript) * The user’s IP address * Browser and device information( user agent) * Interaction data with the form (mouse movements, clicks, etc.) **Privacy & Terms:** * Google reCAPTCHA Privacy Policy: [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)* Google reCAPTCHA Terms of Service: [https://policies.google.com/terms](https://policies.google.com/terms)* reCAPTCHA documentation: [https://developers.google.com/recaptcha](https://developers.google.com/recaptcha) **Important Notes:** * reCAPTCHA is **completely optional** — the plugin works perfectly without it * You must obtain your own reCAPTCHA API keys from Google and enter them in the plugin settings * Users will see a small reCAPTCHA badge in the bottom-right corner of pages with forms when enabled * We recommend reviewing Google’s privacy policy and ensuring compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations in your jurisdiction ### Privacy Policy Airy Frontend Forms does not collect or transmit any user data outside of your WordPress installation. All form submissions are stored as WordPress posts in your database. ### Credits **Developed by NXlogy for AiryThemes** **Resources Used:** * WordPress Dashicons — https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/ dashicons/ (GPLv2) * Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) — https://www.advancedcustomfields. com/ (External dependency, optional) * Secure Custom Fields (SCF) — https://wordpress. org/plugins/smart-custom-fields/ (External dependency, optional) **Tested With:** * WordPress 6.8 — 6.9 * PHP 8.0 — 8.3 * ACF Free & Pro (6.0+) * Secure Custom Fields (4.0+) **Special Thanks:** * WordPress Community * ACF Developer Community ### Support * [Support Forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/airy-frontend-forms/) * [Report Bugs](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/airy-frontend-forms/) ## Installation #### Automatic Installation 1.
