Hello @amimulihsanmahdi
thanks I know this options (I can read it on your website). But inside the European Union we have laws to protect our data and informations. reCaptcha is forbidden (shares with Google who wrote what into your contact form. Same with Akismet and various other CAPTCHAs.
One Plugin witch is possible to use is WP Armour.
Therefore, I asked: does Fluent Forms use the comment blacklist (settings/discussions)?
It is easy inside the EU to make a spam-protection with this blacklist, and different forms use it. I teach WordPress and plugins and I like your contact form. But my question refers to the EU laws to protect our privacy, therefore I have to know if I can show your plugin in my lessons or not. Thanks!

Hello again,
Fluent Forms Built-in Token-Based Protection & Honeypot should be totally GDPR-Compliant because there is no third-party involvement. We don’t save any data for this, also its totally remains local to the server. No data is sent to external services unless you explicitly choose to use integrations.
hCaptcha claims to be GDPR and CCPA compliance. But its better to have a privacy policy/GDPR checkbox on the form with hCaptcha.
Turnstile claims fully GDPR compliance. In this matter, Its better than reCaptcha or hcaptcha. But still recommend user consent and privacy disclosure using checkbox.
In short, you can choose Honeypot or Token based Spam protection for this purpose.
Thank you

My question still is (now the 3rd time):
Does Fluent Forms use the comment blacklist (settings/discussions)?
Thanks!
Hello there,
I apologize for any confusion. Fluent Forms does not directly integrate with or utilize the core WordPress comment blacklist for its spam prevention mechanisms.
However, Fluent Forms provides a dedicated feature allowing users to define a list of specific keywords or phrases. If a form submission contains any of these defined terms, the submission can be automatically restricted. This offers precise control over unwanted content within form entries. Please check the documentation.
Thank you

Thank you for letting us know that the keyword based restriction was perfect for your use case.
