Mark Fields as Personal Fields
By marking a field as a Personal Field, you can apply a higher degree of sensitivity for this type of information and exercise more control over how this data is processed.
Field types that can be marked as personal:
- Basic Fields: Single Line, Multi Line, Number, Decimal, Name, Address, Phone, Email, Date, Date-Time, Website, Currency, File Upload, Image Upload
- Advanced Fields: Signature, Unique ID
To mark as field as personal,
- In the Form Builder, go to the Field Properties of the given field.
- Scroll down to Privacy Settings.
- Select Mark as Personal.
For every field you've marked personal, you will be alerted with a prompt while configuring:
- Email Notifications
- Report printing or downloading
- PDFs of form responses
- Document Merge

Field types that can be made as encrypted fields:
