External Services

This plugin integrates with Cloudflare Turnstile, an external service provided by Cloudflare. The plugin communicates with Cloudflare’s services for form protection functionality.

What is Cloudflare Turnstile?

Cloudflare Turnstile is a privacy-preserving alternative to CAPTCHAs that helps protect forms from bots and automated attacks. It challenges visitors in a way that doesn’t disrupt the user experience.

When does this plugin connect to Cloudflare?

1. JavaScript Widget Loading: When a page containing a protected Gravity Form is loaded, the plugin loads the Turnstile JavaScript widget from https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api.js. This happens on every page load where a protected form is displayed.

2. Token Verification: When a form is submitted, the plugin sends a verification request to https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify to validate the Turnstile token.

What data is sent to Cloudflare?

1. During Widget Loading:

   • Your site key (public identifier)
   • Standard browser information (user agent, IP address)

2. During Token Verification:

   • The Turnstile response token
   • Your secret key (for authentication)
   • The user’s IP address (optional, for additional validation)
