LuxSci SecureForm is an easy way to add or enhance security and
functionality to online forms you use to collect important information.
Receive the form data via secure email in a broad range of formats, and/or
save it to a LuxSci Documents WebAide (encryption optional) for future
access. Even receive notification via email or text message when new
submissions arrive!
SecureForm is the ideal solution to keep the data you capture secure,
particularly for abiding by regulatory compliance requirements such as HIPAA.
SecureForm is perfect even if security is not your top concern, as you
can still post your information to LuxSci and send the form data to anyone
at any email address.
Getting started with SecureForm is fast and simple—all you need
is a website (hosted anywhere) with a form in HTML or PDF format—we
take care of the rest!
Features
LuxSci SecureForm comes full featured no matter if you have an existing
LuxSci email account, a LuxSci Website, or host your website and/or email elsewhere.
Some features include:
The process can be secure or insecure — We have you covered
from a simple site that needs no encryption to complex sites requiring SSL encryption.
Email Encryption: Use TLS Only, or PGP, or S/MIME encryption for secure email messages.
Bring your own PGP or S/MIME certificate or have us generate one for you (if you have SecureLine or WebAides).
File Uploads: SecureForm supports the posting of uploaded files from your forms. Up to 25
files and 50 MB of data can be sent in each post.
Data Collection:
Posted form data can be emailed to you in plain text, or as a CSV file.
Have your PDF pre-filled with the submitted data and sent to
you. All the end user has to do is press a "submit" button in
the PDF itself.
HTML Templates - have the posted data filled into a template HTML
file and sent to you; you can design the HTML so that the resulting post report
looks however you like -- even just like your original web form.
Send form data to up to 10 different recipients.
When capturing form data by email, you can customize the subject
line, the 'From' name and address, and specify the recipient.
Custom Success and Failure: For web site forms, you supply
links to your own success and failure
web pages; the end user is shown these once the form posting completes.
For PDF forms, you supply your
own success and failure PDF documents to be displayed to the end user
once the form post is complete.
Auditing: View and download detailed logs of successful form
posts (IP address of user, time, secure or insecure?) and of failed
posts.
Internationalization: All form data is converted to UTF-8 for
storage and delivery once it is received.
Notifications: Notices of any problems with processing the
form data are emailed to an email address
of your choice.
Anti-Spam: Block unwanted posts to your web forms via:
Optional Form Spam blocking without CAPTCHA (requires that the end user
have JavaScript enabled and performs extended validation checks on
the submitted data to block spam bots).
Optional HTTP referrer checking
Optional IP address allow and deny lists
Optional per-IP address rate limits; cut-off IP address(es) if
limit exceeded over 24 hours.
Enforced Security: Administrators can ensure that all SecureForms are
configured with only secure settings.
Luxsci SecureForm allows you to develop your site and transmit data
securely and easily. You spend less time focusing on how to secure your
forms and more time doing what you want to do.
Additional SecureForm features are available if you have these related LuxSci services:
With a Private Labeling License:
Branded URL for your SecureForm Posts, provided you also order an
SSL Certificate and an IP for your own SecureForm domain name.
With a WebAides License:
Optionally have a CSV file of the posted data, and all files
uploaded, saved to a Documents
WebAide — LuxSci's file storage service.
These WebAides are backed up daily and we provide free restores.
The data saved to these WebAides can be accessed securely any time from any Web Browser.
Export a combined CSV file containing all the data from any selected set of stored CSV data files.
Encryption: The data saved to these WebAides can be optionally PGP-encrypted
so that the data is secure while stored and so that you are the only one with access
to the raw form data.
LuxSci's web interface can generate PGP keys for you.
You design your own web site forms and/or PDF forms
You use our web interface to configure what should happen to your
form data (i.e. post the data securely or not, email it or archive it,
where to send people on success, etc.)
You point your form to a web address that we provide to you
.... That's it.
The End-User Perspective: Web Site Forms
The user goes to your form on your web site, wherever it is hosted
The user fills out your form
The user presses your form's "Submit" button.
The data is sent [securely] to LuxSci at a web site address that we
provided to you.
On success, the user is redirected to your web site page for successful results.
On failure, the user is redirected to your web site page for
failure results.
Unless your form is misconfigured, the end user will always be on your
web site and always see your URLs in his/her address bar. With web site
forms, the submission process to LuxSci'servers is always fully transparent
to the user.
The End-User Perspective: PDF Forms
The user opens your PDF form
The user fills out you form
The user presses your form's "Submit" button.
The user may be prompted to confirm that they trust the address to which the form
data is going. (This will be the address provided to you by the LuxSci system; it can
be your own domain through Private Labeled branding with the purchase of a dedicated server)
The data is sent [securely] to LuxSci at that web site address.
On success, the user is shown your custom "Success PDF".
On failure, the user is shown you custom "Failure PDF".
Quick and easy - They press a button in the PDF, confirm the submission, and they are done.

*The amount of inbound data posted includes the size of all uploaded
files as well as the amount of data used to upload the form fields and
their respective filled in values. If you have your form data emailed to
two or more recipients, then the effective amount of posted form data is
taken as the actual amount of posted form data times the number of email
recipients.
**For large accounts, dedicated servers are recommended. These start
at about $300/mo for SecureForm and do not have explicit limits on posts
of amount of data posted.
Soft Limits
If your account exceeds its SecureForm daily limit, then it automatically starts
using the "next tier" of service. At the end of the month, your account will be billed
150% of the difference in price for your current tier of service and the next tier to
cover this supplemental usage.
If you upgrade before the end of the month, there will not be any supplemental overage fee.
If you change your service limit type from "soft" to "hard", then your forms will be cutoff
until midnight GMT if your account hits its limit, rather than using supplemental
limits
If your account is using supplemental limits and hits the maximum daily usage for the next
tier as well, then form usage will be suspended until midnight GMT.
For example, if your account has a 100 posts/day limit:
If you change your limit to "hard", then after 100 posts, no other posts will be accepted
for any of your forms until midnight, GMT, when your daily limits reset.
With the default soft quota, your usage can spike up to the next tier of 500 posts/day without being cut off
at all
With the default soft quota, if your usage exceeds 100 posts/day during any day of the month,
you will be charged for supplemental usage at the end of the month. In this case, that would
cost: ($35.00 - $20.00) x 150% = $22.50. Of course, if you upgrade to the 500 post/day tier
there is no supplemental usage fee.
"After using LuxSci for only a few months now, I feel I must let you know that the quality of service is truly outstanding and indeed beyond my expectations. LuxSci has all the features I need. The fully fledged and powerful email composition screen which impresses me most; I also no longer receive any spam in my INBOX, thanks to your Email Defense. Your customer service is one of the best. I am amazed to see that some of my questions have been answered in less than an hour and that the responses were fully detailed and to my satisfaction. Email runs in your veins, I must say. Though not an inexpensive email service, in my opinion, I must say that with the service I am getting, LuxSci is worth every penny I spend. I intend to keep LuxSci to serve my default email address with my own domain for the rest of my life. Salutations to Dr. Erik Kangas and LuxSci staff. LuxSci truly deserves its meaning --- you are truly the light of knowledge in the world of emails."
