IP and Email address hashing coming soon

More and more users are concerned about the privacy of the data they send through forms on websites. Sometimes this can lead to forms not being submitted if there is no assurance that the data is completely private.

So, in the next few months, we are adding the option to hash IP/Email addresses of website visitors when sending this data to the cloud.

Our client’s review: STRINGKICK.COM

We continue sharing our clients’ reviews and today’s one is brought to you by @freekwp from stringkick.com.

Great solution that does what it promises

I tried many solutions, from honeypots to reCaptcha, but none of them worked. With Cleantalk my spam messages dropped to zero overnight. The other week I was hit by a spam attack. Cleantalk blocked over 100.000 spam messages, and I didn’t even notice until my weekly summary email came in a few days later.

In short, an excellent solution that I’ve been recommending to everyone with a contact form.
