Third-Party Service Usage

This plugin integrates with the EmailVerify.io service (https://emailverify.io/) to provide real-time email verification functionality. Through API calls to EmailVerify.io servers, it verifies email addresses and retrieves account information, using the following endpoints:

  • Verify email addresses: https://app.emailverify.io/api/v1/validate?key=[your_api_key]&email=[email]
  • Retrieve account information: https://app.emailverify.io/api/v1/check-account-balance?key=[your_api_key]

By installing and activating this plugin, you consent to the transmission of email addresses to these URLs for the purpose of verification.

Data Privacy and Security Commitment: We prioritize your privacy and the security of your data. All submitted email addresses are processed for validation purposes only and are not stored indefinitely on our servers. We do not sell or use the submitted emails for marketing purposes. EmailVerify.io is working towards full GDPR compliance, and this practice is part of our commitment to maintaining your trust and meeting data protection standards.

The use of the EmailVerify.io service is subject to EmailVerify.io’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, available at:

  • Terms of Service: https://app.emailverify.io/terms-of-use/
  • Privacy Policy: https://app.emailverify.io/privacy-policy/

We encourage you to review these documents to understand how EmailVerify.io handles and protects your data. It is crucial to ensure that the use of this plugin complies with your website’s privacy policy and any applicable legal obligations concerning data protection and privacy.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/emailverify directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
  3. Go to EmailVerify in your WordPress admin menu.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work?

When a user submits a protected form, EmailVerify will check the email address against various validation criteria without sending any email, offering a non-intrusive verification process. It will block any invalid and disposable email addresses and notify the submitter to use a different email address.

How long does it take to verify an email address?

Verification typically takes less than 2 seconds. The verification time depends on the response time of the email server, which can be limited by providing a timeout value in the settings.

What happens if my account runs out of credits?

If your account runs out of credits, email submissions will not be checked by the plugin and every submitted email address will be accepted (as if the plugin is not installed). Your forms will continue to work normally.

Is it GDPR compliant?

EmailVerify.io is currently working towards full GDPR compliance. The service processes email addresses only for validation purposes and does not store them permanently after validation. However, full GDPR compliance certification is still in progress. If you have specific GDPR requirements for your website, please review our privacy policy at https://app.emailverify.io/privacy-policy or contact our support team to discuss your specific compliance needs.

Do I need to modify my existing forms?

No! The plugin works automatically with your existing forms. Simply install, activate, add your API key, and enable validation for your desired form types.

Which forms are supported?

The plugin supports 14+ popular form plugins including Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, WPForms, Elementor Forms, and many more. See the full list in the description.
