In plain words

Private Forms is a web form service that uses PGP encryption to protect form submissions. Users provide a public key or have one generated, and form responses are encrypted in the recipient's browser before reaching the server, ensuring only the key holder can decrypt them. The platform includes a custom form builder for creating tailored forms and uses open-source PGP encryption to keep all submissions secure. It is designed for privacy-conscious individuals and organizations that need confidential data collection.

From the sources

You give us your public key or we can create a key pair for you. Your PGP public key is used to encrypt messages that can only be decrypted by your private key. Form submissions are encrypted in your user's browser, before they get sent to our servers. Form responses never get transmitted in plain text. Industry-standard, open-source PGP encryption ensures that only you (or someone with your private key) can view the responses to your forms. Our custom form builder lets you build a form to match your needs. Data is encrypted on your user's machine, before being sent to the cloud! Our servers use 256-bit SSL encryption for enhanced security . Get 2 Months Free With an Annual Subscription!…from privateforms.com
