Settings for Powermail forms

For data protection reasons, we are correcting settings for the Powermail plugin that displays forms.

1. no file upload is supported in the form.

Powermail stores uploads in a globally readable directory. This means that we cannot guarantee data protection for submitted documents. And since we cannot automatically assess the type of documents requested in the form, we cannot offer this function.

2. no data from completed forms is stored in Typo3.

This setting has been in place for a long time, as we cannot guarantee the data protection of the transmitted data here either. The data is only sent by email.

3. the opt-in functionality is switched off.

Unfortunately, the opt-in function forces you to save the completed forms (see point 2) and must therefore be switched off.

Reminder

All forms that go beyond the indication of name, e-mail and a free text require a separate data protection declaration and may have to be registered as a procedure with the data protection officer.

Your responsible data protection coordinators can help!
