    The plugin is great. Good job, thank you.

    Let me tell you that you have not thought of the famous European GDPR Law. If I’m wrong, let me know (I’m sorry).

    This law is very restrictive.

    Sending unsolicited emails is prohibited, and only active opt-in is allowed for sending email messages.

    In practice, you cannot automatically send a newsletter or an e-mail on the fly.

    To adapt the forms to make them compliant with the GDPR, it is necessary to:
    -Obtain the person’s consent.
    -Keep proof of consent.
    -Inform the data subject of their rights.
    -Secure the transfer of personal data.

    WordPress contact forms (Contact Form 7 etc..), forums, comment boxes all have GDPR checkboxes etc…

    I think this can pose a legal problem (possible fines) in the use of the option to send e-mails (results and collection of e-mail addresses of Internet users).
