Hi Apparently any form submission requires explicit consent to conform to the GDPR regulations.
Forms collecting information that can identify the person are affected. This includes information like names, photos, an email addresses, or IP address.
Request the explicit consent of every user before any data collection takes place. Requests must be in clear, plain, easily understandable language free of legalese. It also must stand alone from other matters or requests and not be buried in other text.
Everyone we know who has wordpress forms on their sites are adding a tickbox that must be ticked before their form is submitted.
As we will recieve the guest visitors email address when they submit the form we will need to comply to this part of the GDPR.
