Gravity Forms Encrypted Fields

Gravity Forms Encrypted Fields is an advanced security add-on designed specifically for WordPress and Gravity Forms, allowing you to encrypt sensitive fields within your forms and protect data stored in the database. It is intended for those who manage personal, private, or confidential information—such as names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, dates of birth, or social security numbers—and need to ensure its protection against security breaches or unauthorized access in the admin panel.

The plugin uses bank- and military-grade AES-256 encryption for data storage, with selectable encryption options including OpenSSL, Asynchronous OpenSSL, and legacy Mcrypt. Its optional Asynchronous mode offers extremely strict access, preventing any data decryption without an additional password. It also incorporates an intelligent system of encryption keys generated and stored separately, and integrated security measures both on the front end and in the WordPress admin panel to prevent leaks of sensitive information.

One of its great advantages is flexibility: you can encrypt only the fields you need, grant viewing permissions per user or role at the individual field or global level, and hide data in the admin panel even without enabling encryption. Authorized users access decrypted data transparently, quickly, and automatically, with no additional steps to view or export the information. The plugin preserves all native Gravity Forms functionality, including entry viewing, all export options, and entry search based on encrypted data, with individual permissions per user and role.

It includes custom merge tags to control the output of encrypted or decrypted data in confirmations and email notifications, as well as helper functions for developers that allow programmatically encrypting and decrypting any text or string in WordPress. It also offers advanced options such as automatic deletion of IP addresses, signatures, individual fields, complete entries, and uploaded files after submission, and the ability to delay encryption until after feed and add-on processing.

With built-in step-by-step setup instructions, a complete visual verification system, video tutorials, and encryption tests, Gravity Forms Encrypted Fields lets you implement robust data protection in minutes, helping you comply with regulations like GDPR and significantly reduce security risks on your site.
