### External Services

This plugin connects to the following third-party services under specific conditions.
No external connections are made unless the features described below are actively
used or enabled by the site administrator.

#### IP Geolocation (ip-api.com)

FormsKit can optionally enrich form submission entries with geographic location 
data (city, region, country, coordinates). This feature is **disabled by default**
and must be explicitly enabled by the site administrator in **FormsKit  Settings**.

 * **What data is sent:** The submitting visitor’s IP address.
 * **When it is sent:** Only when the geolocation feature is enabled in settings,
   on each form submission.
 * **What is stored:** City, region, country, latitude, and longitude are stored
   in your WordPress database as entry metadata.
 * **Service provider:** ip-api.com
 * **Terms of Service:** [https://ip-api.com/docs/legal](https://ip-api.com/docs/legal)
 * **Privacy Policy:** [https://ip-api.com/docs/legal](https://ip-api.com/docs/legal)

#### Phone Field Country Detection (ipapi.co)

When a form includes a Phone field with the international telephone input enabled
and no default country is specified, the plugin uses ipapi.co to automatically detect
the visitor’s country and set the correct country code and flag.

 * **What data is sent:** The visitor’s IP address (sent automatically by the browser
   as part of the HTTP request).
 * **When it is sent:** On page load, only when a form with an international phone
   field is displayed and no default country has been configured by the site administrator.
 * **What is stored:** Only the two-letter country code is used in the browser to
   set the phone field default. No data from this service is stored in your WordPress
   database.
 * **Service provider:** ipapi.co (Kloudend, Inc.)
 * **Terms of Service:** [https://ipapi.co/terms/](https://ipapi.co/terms/)
 * **Privacy Policy:** [https://ipapi.co/privacy/](https://ipapi.co/privacy/)

#### CAPTCHA Services (Opt-In Only)

If you choose to enable a third-party CAPTCHA service in **FormsKit  Settings**,
the following external scripts will be loaded on pages containing your forms. These
connections are **opt-in only** and require you to enter API keys in settings. No
CAPTCHA data is transmitted without your explicit configuration.

 * **Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3** — Loads scripts from `google.com/recaptcha`. [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms)
   | [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
 * **Cloudflare Turnstile** — Loads scripts from `challenges.cloudflare.com`. [Cloudflare Terms of Service](https://www.cloudflare.com/website-terms/)
   | [Cloudflare Privacy Policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/)
 * **hCaptcha** — Loads scripts from `js.hcaptcha.com`. [hCaptcha Terms of Service](https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms)
