Kanshi

Kanshi validates form submissions in the WordPress backend before accepted entries continue through the site’s normal form workflow.

Supported integrations include:

• Elementor Forms
• Contact Form 7
• WPForms
• Gravity Forms
• Formidable Forms
• Generic fallback for many custom frontend forms

Only accepted submissions continue to the form plugin’s own handling, such as emails, stored entries, redirects, and follow-up actions.

External services

This plugin connects to Kanshi-operated services for license verification and form validation.

Privacy Policy:

• https://kanshi.works/privacy-policy

Terms of Service:

• https://kanshi.works/terms-of-service

These API endpoints are service endpoints only. They are not public legal-policy pages.

The license endpoint sends:

• the API key entered by the site administrator
• the site URL of the current WordPress installation

The validation endpoint sends:

• submitted text/scalar form fields
• file metadata only, such as file name, MIME type, and size

The plugin does not send:

• passwords
• file binaries
• nonce fields
• captcha values
• internal WordPress request metadata not needed for validation

Data is sent only to provide Kanshi’s validation and license verification features.

Privacy

Sent for validation:

Does the plugin validate in the browser?

No. Kanshi validation happens on the WordPress backend so the API key is not exposed in frontend JavaScript.

What happens when Kanshi rejects a submission?

The plugin can either show an error or silently drop the submission, depending on plugin settings.

What happens if the Kanshi API is unavailable?

You can configure the plugin to accept entries, reject entries, or disable form handling until the API becomes reachable again.

Does the plugin include hidden tracking?

No. The plugin does not include hidden analytics or tracking code. It only communicates with Kanshi endpoints required for license verification and form validation.
