While importing data from MSForms, do you encrypt data at rest by default?

Hi,

I am researching using jotform to handle data from MSForms, so that submissions can be saved and worked on at a later date before final submission.

My question is, do you encrypt data at rest by default, or is the only way to encrypt your form data to choose to do it yourself for each form and then make that form incapable of integration with an API.

Many Thanks

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand the issue, but I’ll need a bit of time to work out a solution. I’ll get back to you shortly.

Thanks for your patience in advance.

Hi Gareth,

Thanks for waiting patiently. We don't automatically encrypt data on Jotform. Enabling form encryption is easy. Let me show you how to do it:

1. In the Form Builder,  in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on the Settings tab.
2. Click on the Encrypt Form Data option and toggle Encrypt Form Data to the Yes position.

3. On the pop-up page that opens after, type your Encryption key and click on the Verify button.

Let us know if you need any other help.

Hello,

If I encrypt the form as you explain above, will I still be able to integrate the form with power automate.

Hi Gareth,

Unfortunately, all integrations (except for Payment Gateways) will become unavailable. Below are other features, that are automatically disabled if form encryption is enabled:

• Autoresponder Email
• Customizable Notification Emails — You will still receive a notification email when you receive a new submission.
• Save and Continue Later
• Change Email Recipient Condition
• Integrations (Except for Payment Gateways)
• Approval Flows
• Jotform Sign
• PDF Downloads — You can still view the data in the PDF Editor but can only Print it.
• Form Reports — Excel, Grid Listing, HTML Table, RSS, and Calendar.
• Digest Emails — You can only receive the new submission count in the latest period of the digest.
• Filters — When viewing data through the Tables and Inbox, the filter feature is disabled.
