External services

This plugin can connect to the following third-party service only when the related optional feature is configured.

When reCAPTCHA v2 site and secret keys are entered under Magic Forms → Settings, the plugin loads Google’s reCAPTCHA JavaScript on pages displaying a protected form. Upon submission, the visitor’s reCAPTCHA response token is sent to Google’s verification API.

• What is sent: reCAPTCHA response token, your secret key from the server, visitor IP address, and standard request metadata required by Google
• When it is sent: when reCAPTCHA is configured and a visitor submits a protected form
• Why it is sent: to verify that a submission appears to come from a human
