Form | Encrypted Field (PII) Overview

Core value

  • Regulatory compliance: encryption ensures the platform stores sensitive personal data in a way that complies with data protection regulations in various countries or regions (like Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act, GDPR, and others).

  • Top-tier security: encrypted field content can only be decrypted and downloaded by users with specific permissions, effectively preventing sensitive data from reaching unauthorized staff or external attackers.

  • Tiered data access: manage general data (like name and email) separately from sensitive data (like a national ID number), enforcing stricter access controls where it matters.

Key features

  • Encrypted data storage: any data set as an encrypted field is encrypted when it's stored on Feversocial's servers.

  • Decryption limited to specific permissions: only accounts granted "Download Data" permission can decrypt and view this data after exporting it.

  • Two distinct field types:

    • Standard field: for collecting non-sensitive, basic information.

    • Encrypted field (PII): specifically for collecting highly sensitive personal information, like a national ID number.

  • Field type support: encrypted fields support input types like text and numbers, to accommodate different kinds of sensitive data collection.


📝 Form | Encrypted Field (PII) Setup Guide

This guide walks you through adding an "encrypted field" to your form, so your sensitive personal data collection meets a high security standard.

Step 1. Add an encrypted field

In the form question editor, after choosing to add a question, you'll see a dedicated section for encrypted fields.

  1. Click add: click the "Add Question" button.

  2. Choose the encrypted type: when choosing the question type, select the "Encrypted Field (PII)" section.

  3. Choose a field type, and start editing your form question.




Step 2. Configure the field format and required setting

To make sure the data you collect is correctly formatted, you can configure additional settings for the encrypted field.

  1. Set the field type: choose the type that matches the data you're collecting — for example, you can choose "Single-line text" for a national ID number.

  2. Mark it required: check the "Required" option next to the field, so participants can't skip this critical information.

  3. Save the question: once you're done, click the "Save" button in the editor.

Step 3. Notes on exporting and decrypting data

  • Dashboard decryption permission: only dashboard accounts granted "Download Data" permission (Admin and Super Editor) can decrypt data directly in the dashboard (no need to download a file — the content can be viewed right there).

  • Data export permission: only dashboard accounts granted "Download Data" permission (Admin and Super Editor) can download files that include encrypted field data.
