High risk across multiple dimensions. Only use with public, non-sensitive data.
Jotform uses AI to help users create forms and build AI agents, but the terms state they use AI for 'learning about how people use forms' and 'teaching our staff, systems, and products.' This suggests potential training on user content, though not explicitly stated as selling data. The AI Terms of Use are referenced but not provided in full.
“Jotform may use your forms for the purposes of improving the form builder, for learning about how people use forms, and for teaching our staff, systems, and products”
When users make content 'public', they grant Jotform a 'worldwide and fully sublicensable license' to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and publicly display content. The sublicensable aspect is particularly broad and risky, allowing Jotform to license rights to third parties.
“you grant Jotform a worldwide and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform, and publicly display such content”
Jotform states they do not sell customer form data or personal information to third parties without permission. However, they use service providers (payment processors, hosting, AI providers, email service providers) who have access to data under confidentiality contracts. This is moderate risk due to third-party vendor access.
“We use service providers (payment processors, hosting, AI providers, email service providers) who must maintain confidentiality under contract.”
Data is retained 'for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services.' Upon account deletion, personal information is deleted within 45 days. This is moderately protective but the 45-day window and vague 'as needed' language present some risk.
“If you delete your account, we will delete your personal information within 45 days.”
Users agree not to assert copyright claims against Jotform for forms built on the platform. Jotform retains broad rights to use forms for improvement and learning purposes. For AI-generated content, ownership is unclear, creating significant risk around IP of outputs.
“You agree that you will not assert any copyright claim in forms you build using the Platform against Jotform.”
Jotform is PCI DSS Level 1 compliant and mentions GDPR/EEA/UK rights with data residency options. However, no mention of SOC2, HIPAA, or ISO certifications. The compliance posture is partial and moderate.
“Jotform Inc. is certified as a PCI DSS Level 1 Compliant Service Provider.”
