<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin periodically downloads an updated anti-spam blacklist from a service operated by DigitaleZen and hosted on Google Apps Script (domain: script.google.com).
• Purpose: fetch a JSON list of abusive/disposable emails and domains used by the plugin’s firewall checks. 
• When data is sent: once per day via WP-Cron (and when an admin triggers a manual update). 
• What data is sent: no form submissions and no user personal data are sent. The request is server-to-server (HTTP GET) and only standard headers (e.g., User-Agent) are included. 
• Storage: the downloaded JSON is stored locally within your WordPress site (e.g. under wp-content/uploads in a plugin-specific folder).

Antispam for Elementor Forms adds two methods of preventing spam submissions to Elementor Pro forms – checking the form contents against the WordPress comment blocklist, which is automatically synced daily, and a JavaScript-based honeypot field, with an optional minimum time to fill out the form.
Privacy disclaimer
This plugin uses the WordPress comment blocklist from GitHub (https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist, via the raw.githubusercontent.com domain). It is synced daily. Your server’s IP address will be shared with GitHub when this happens. Their terms of use can be found here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service and their privacy statement can be found here: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement No data about your users is shared.
