Collecting personally identifiable information on websites

If you use the forms feature within UBC CMS and Arts CMS (Gravity Forms), we advise you not to collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on these public-facing websites. Instead, use the UBC-approved and FIPPA-compliant tool, Qualtrics. If payment in your form is required, you can use forms on Arts Internal Resources (AIR) as a secure alternative.
