Encryption for Gravity Forms

Encrypt sensitive Gravity Forms submission data so only authorized users can view it in WordPress.

by CrossPeak Paid Updated Jun 5, 2026

What it does

When someone submits a Gravity Forms form, the data is stored in your WordPress database and can appear in plain text in emails and entry views. If that data includes personal details, account information, or anything confidential, that's a risk.

This add-on encrypts your form data before it is stored in the database. You log in to WordPress to view the decrypted content of any submitted entry, so only authorized people can read it. It also removes the worry of confidential information being exposed in notification emails.

It is aimed at site owners who collect sensitive user information and need a straightforward way to keep that data protected at rest.
