Logicoo Form Address & Autocomplete

Free add-on for the Logicoo Form plugin. It adds an Address field to the form builder. When you turn on the service with your own Google Maps Platform API key, visitors can get address suggestions from Google Maps while they type, and choose their address from a list.

0 or later. With an older Logicoo Form the add-on does not start, and forms with an Address field show a notice and cannot be sent until Logicoo Form is updated. 0 or later, the Address field also works inside repeatable groups.

• Suggestions only after the visitor’s choice: nothing is sent to Google before the visitor turns on the suggestions with the button under the field, or accepts the chosen category in a cookie plugin that supports the WP Consent API. Global Privacy Control is respected.

• The field stays a plain text field without JavaScript, while the suggestions are off, or when Google cannot be reached: the visitor can always type the address and send the form.

• Accessible suggestion list: keyboard, screen readers, touch screens, right-to-left languages, the colours of the form.

• Field properties in the builder: allowed countries, addresses or cities and towns, characters before the suggestions, value of the field (full address, or street and number only), country in the address, autofill section.

• Address text built with the rules of each country (17 countries and a general rule).

• Optional filling of other visible fields of the form: street and number, postcode, city, province, region or state, country.

• Optional “Use my location” button for each field (HTTPS sites only): after a confirmation in two steps, the browser shares the device location once, and the visitor chooses the address from a list of nearby addresses.

• Optional “Google addresses only” mode for each field, for shipping addresses: the field accepts only an address chosen from the suggestions, with the street number if you ask for it, and the form response saves how the address was checked. With an optional server key, the server checks the choice when the form is sent. With the optional postal check, Google also checks that the chosen address is complete and deliverable, and the visitor confirms any correction next to the field.

• Works inside the repeatable groups of Logicoo Form 1.3.0: every item has its own Address field, with its own suggestions, checks and saved result.

• Estimated request counter with monthly thresholds, email alerts and an optional monthly limit; a limit per page view; a daily check that the key is restricted to your website; key test and diagnostics.

• No map: the add-on only suggests addresses.

Before you use it

• You need a Google Cloud account with billing enabled and your own API key. Google bills your account directly: no service of the add-on author stands between your site and Google.

• Mention Google Maps in the terms of use and in the privacy policy of your site, as the Google Maps Platform terms require. WordPress offers a suggested text for the privacy policy in Settings > Privacy, under “Logicoo Form Address & Autocomplete”.

• If you use a cookie plugin (such as Complianz, CookieYes, iubenda or Borlabs Cookie), list Google Maps there, in the category chosen in the add-on settings (Marketing by default).

• The Google Maps Platform terms for the European Economic Area or the global terms apply depending on the billing address of your Google Cloud account, not on where your visitors are.

• Do not use the add-on on sites or pages directed to children under 13, or to collect health information subject to HIPAA.

• Health-related sites with visitors from Washington State: the My Health My Data Act may require a separate consent for Google. Keep the “Use my location” button off.

• Do not show a map from another provider next to the Address field. In the European Economic Area, do not show the suggested places on any map, including Google maps.

• The address chosen from the suggestions and saved with the form response comes from Google Maps: how long you may keep it is a point to discuss with your legal advisor.

• The add-on does not make your site compliant with any law by itself.

External services

This add-on connects to Google Maps Platform, a service by Google, to suggest addresses while a visitor types. Nothing is sent to Google before the visitor turns on the suggestions with the button under the field, or accepts the consent category chosen in the settings in a cookie plugin that supports the WP Consent API (in opt-in mode). The site owner’s Google API key is required, and the service is off until the owner turns it on.

• maps.googleapis.com and maps.gstatic.com: the Maps JavaScript API is loaded in the visitor’s browser after that action, once per page. Google receives the site’s API key, the page address, the visitor’s IP address, browser data and language.

• places.googleapis.com: at each search, the text typed in the Address field, a session token, the field filters (countries, type of results) and the language. When the visitor chooses a suggestion, its identifier, the same session token and the list of requested fields (address components only).

• maps.googleapis.com, only for fields with the “Use my location” button: after the visitor confirms in two steps and allows the browser to share the location, the device coordinates and the language, to find the nearby addresses (Geocoding). The coordinates are sent once, only to Google: the add-on never saves them and never sends them to the site. The confirmation is asked again at every use.

• addressvalidation.googleapis.com, only for fields with the postal check: after the visitor chooses an address, its text (street, number, postcode, city) and the country code, to check it for delivery (Address Validation). The same address is checked once per page.

• places.googleapis.com, from the site’s server: once a day, when the key is saved, when the service is turned on and when the owner tests the key, one request with a fixed text, to check that the key is restricted to the site’s domain. No visitor data is sent.

• places.googleapis.com, from the site’s server, only if the owner saves a server key: when the owner tests it, one request for the details of a fixed public place; when a visitor sends a form with a “Google addresses only” field, the identifier of the chosen address, the language and the list of requested fields (address components only), to check that the text sent matches the chosen address. The text typed by the visitor and the visitor’s IP address are not sent, and Google’s answer is not saved.

Google processes this data as an independent controller and may transfer it to the United States. com/maps-platform/terms. com/privacy.

The add-on counts on the site, without contacting Google, how many requests the visitors’ browsers made, to estimate the monthly cost. It keeps only the address saved with the form response and, for “Google addresses only” fields, the result of the address check. When a visitor turns on the suggestions, a non-reversible fingerprint of the visitor’s IP address is kept on the site for at most ten minutes, against abuse.
