How can we add a link in our contact form in the checkbox area, where you have to accept the privacy agreement? We need to link to the privacy page there.

  Hi Dirk,

  Thank you for reaching out to us.

  Unfortunately, it's not possible to put a link on a checkbox.  You can instead use a text element underneath the checkbox and link your privacy agreement, as shown in this example:

  I am not 100% sure, but I think in Germany we need the checkbox version. Just adding some text underneath the send button seems not legit. The european GDPR (DSGVO) is a pain in the ***.

  Maybe your team should consider to add this feature to the forms checkbox element.

  Hello Dirk,

  Kindly have a look at https://brizy.online/gdpr-compliant-form/ You could redesign your form like this and make the checkbox a required field to make it compliant with GDPR

  Hi K C,

  thanks for the info. Just had a nice chit chat with a lawyer (and customer).

  The link to the DSGVO (GDPR) has to be within the text near the checkbox. Our laws are crazy, I know. But If I would use it like this, there would be two major problems.

  #1 The tickbox is already "ticked" - I know I can change this, but its just a hint

  #2 The Link is underneath the Button - not compliant.

  Dont ask me, I am not a lawyer. I just have to make sure, that my customers wont get a fine for not complying to the DSGVO. Same for me, I dont want to get fined either ;)

  So I better delete the form from my test page and think about another way. Maybe I am using an external form, that contains all the things needed.

  Hello Dirk,

  I agree with you; if the hyperlink to the Terms and Conditions must be within the text associated the checkbox, using a form plugin is the right solution.
