For personal data in form submissions to be anonymised, the corresponding form elements need to be marked as personal data.
Only elements marked in this way will be anonymised — all other data remains unchanged.
Form elements from previously published versions of the form are also displayed when marking. If these are marked as personal data, the corresponding information will also be anonymised.
By marking form elements, you specify which fields contain personal information such as names, email addresses or telephone numbers.
This ensures that personal data is correctly anonymised when an anonymisation job runs, while all other content remains untouched.
Marking helps your organisation handle submissions in line with data protection requirements.
In the article “ Automatically anonymise data in individual forms”, you’ll learn how to set up anonymisation for specific forms.
The article “ Automatically delete and anonymise form data” shows you how to configure privacy settings that apply to all forms.
Once saved, the selected form elements are marked as containing personal data.
They will be anonymised automatically if privacy settings in the Admin centre require the anonymisation of personal data, or if an active anonymisation rule is set up for the form.
Can I change the marking later?
What happens if I don’t mark any elements?
Can anonymised data be restored?
