## Description

BoldForm Lite is a lightweight WordPress form builder plugin. Create forms in the
admin builder, render them with a shortcode, Gutenberg block, or Elementor widget,
and collect submissions in the WordPress admin.

 * Drag and drop form builder
 * Frontend shortcode rendering
 * AJAX form submission
 * Entries management page
 * Gutenberg block
 * Elementor widget
 * Translation-ready strings

### Bundled Libraries

All JavaScript and CSS assets used by this plugin are bundled locally within the
plugin directory. No scripts or styles are loaded from a CDN or any remote server
except for the explicitly documented external services listed below.

Bundled third-party libraries:

 * **SortableJS** (assets/js/sortable.js) — MIT License — https://github.com/SortableJS/
   Sortable
    This file is a local copy of SortableJS. It is served directly from
   the plugin directory and is not fetched from any CDN. The value `Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING`
   that appears at line 187 of this file is a standard browser DOM API constant 
   used for drag-and-drop ordering logic — it is not a remote resource URL.
 * **Flatpickr** (assets/js/flatpickr.min.js, assets/css/flatpickr.min.css) — MIT
   License — https://github.com/flatpickr/flatpickr
    This file is a local copy of
   the Flatpickr date/time picker library. It is served directly from the plugin
   directory and is not fetched from any CDN.

The submissions chart on the Reports page is rendered using the browser’s native
HTML5 Canvas API. No external charting library (e.g. Chart.js) is loaded or referenced.

### External Services

This plugin can optionally connect to the following third-party services. No data
is transmitted to any external service unless you have explicitly enabled and configured
that service in the BoldForm settings.

#### Google reCAPTCHA

This plugin integrates with Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from spam and bot 
submissions.

When a visitor loads a page containing a form with reCAPTCHA enabled, the reCAPTCHA
JavaScript library is loaded directly from Google’s servers. When the visitor submits
the form, the plugin sends the reCAPTCHA response token and the visitor’s IP address
to Google’s verification API to confirm the submission is not automated.

Data sent: reCAPTCHA response token, visitor IP address.
 When: Each time a form
with reCAPTCHA enabled is submitted. Condition: Only when you have selected “Google
reCAPTCHA” as the spam protection provider in BoldForm settings and entered a valid
site key and secret key.

 * Service provider: Google LLC
 * Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

#### hCaptcha

This plugin integrates with hCaptcha to protect forms from spam and bot submissions.

When a visitor loads a page containing a form with hCaptcha enabled, the hCaptcha
JavaScript library is loaded directly from hCaptcha’s servers. When the visitor 
submits the form, the plugin sends the hCaptcha response token and the visitor’s
IP address to hCaptcha’s verification API to confirm the submission is not automated.

Data sent: hCaptcha response token, visitor IP address.
 When: Each time a form 
with hCaptcha enabled is submitted. Condition: Only when you have selected “hCaptcha”
as the spam protection provider in BoldForm settings and entered a valid site key
and secret key.

 * Terms of Service: https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms
 * Privacy Policy: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy

#### Mailchimp

This plugin can send subscriber data to Mailchimp when a form with a Mailchimp integration
is submitted.

When a visitor submits a form that has a Mailchimp integration assigned, the plugin
sends the subscriber’s email address and any mapped name fields to the Mailchimp
API to add or update the contact in the selected audience list.

Data sent: Email address, and optionally first name and last name (only fields you
have mapped in the integration settings).
 When: Each time a form with an active
Mailchimp integration is submitted. Condition: Only when you have configured a Mailchimp
integration with a valid API key in BoldForm > Integrations.
