Overview
123FormBuilder is a form building platform that enables creation and embedding of contact forms, registration forms, order forms, and surveys on websites without coding. Forms are hosted on 123FormBuilder's infrastructure and rendered on the host page via embed code, with submissions processed and stored on the platform's servers. The service supports payment integrations, conditional logic, file uploads, and multi-page form flows.
What This Script Does
123FormBuilder's embedded forms (loaded from www.123formbuilder.com or via iframe embed) perform the following:
- Render form interfaces on the host page, either inline or via popup/lightbox, with all form fields and styling defined in the 123FormBuilder editor
- Handle form validation, conditional field display, and multi-step form navigation client-side
- Transmit completed form submissions to 123FormBuilder's servers via HTTPS POST requests
- Set cookies to track form completion state, enabling multi-step forms to preserve progress if the visitor navigates away
- Use cookies or hidden fields to prevent duplicate submissions from the same visitor
- Process payment fields through integrated payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Square) when order forms are used
- May collect the visitor's IP address, browser metadata, and submission timestamp as part of the form submission record
- Support file upload fields that transmit files to 123FormBuilder's storage infrastructure
Network requests are made to 123FormBuilder's servers for form rendering, submission processing, and file uploads. Form data is stored on 123FormBuilder's platform and can be accessed by the form owner through the dashboard or via integrations.
Consent & Compliance
123FormBuilder serves a functional purpose: collecting information that the visitor voluntarily provides through form submissions. Cookies set for multi-step progress preservation and duplicate submission prevention are ancillary to the form's operation and serve a functional need. Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, these cookies can qualify as strictly necessary for the service explicitly requested by the user (completing a form).
However, the collection and transmission of form data (including IP address and browser metadata) to 123FormBuilder's third-party servers means a data processing agreement should be in place. Under GDPR, the form submission itself requires a lawful basis (typically consent via the form's submit action or contractual necessity).
Under CCPA, form submission data transmitted to 123FormBuilder should be disclosed in the privacy policy. The processing typically qualifies for the service provider exemption.
The consent category for 123FormBuilder is functional.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No.
123FormBuilder provides functional form infrastructure that visitors actively interact with. The cookies serve operational purposes (form progress, duplicate prevention) rather than tracking. Blocking the script would remove forms that the website operator has placed for legitimate data collection purposes. The visitor's act of completing and submitting a form constitutes an explicit interaction with the service.
