### THE MAGIC OF THE FORM EDITOR
 
The intuitive form editor is the heart of your forms and is itself visually designed as a sequence or "funnel". In addition, the questions and contact forms available here can be **categorized and assigned to specific forms.** This way you never lose track of your queries and their structure.
 
Here you connect one after the other all of your questions, contact forms and redirects **via drag-and-drop**, so that a process of sequence is created for your visitors and **thanks to the integrated logic all important questions are asked at the right time.**
 
### DATA PROTECTION FROM THE GROUND UP AS STANDARD
 
Funnelforms is **GDPR-compliant** according to current, Europe-wide data protection laws - which is essentially based on its technical structure.
 
An essential difference to comparable tools available on the market is that Funnelforms, as **an external plugin, does not process or store any data on its own servers or third-party servers.** All leads and personal customer and/or appointment data are solely at your disposal: on your web server, in your database as well as in the form of leads on your website and do not leave this closed system.

### PREMIUM SUPPORT FOR USERS OF THE PRO VERSION
 
The Funnelforms team offers you all the support you need. You have the option to **report errors via ticket**, which will of course be fixed for you as soon as possible. In addition, you have **access to the Help Center** with many explanatory articles and questions for your answers. Furthermore, you can use the **live chat on our website for all further questions** and assistance.

But hopefully you'll understand that we need to prioritize our Pro customers. The individual email support is available for users who have purchased a [Funnelforms Pro](https://en.funnelforms.io/) license - here you will benefit from additional helpful tools for your lead generation in addition to the unlimited features mentioned above:
 
* **Lead training video tutorial** of approx. 50 min. for the optimal use of Funnelforms on your website/landing page and best practices.
* **25,000 premium icons** for free use within your forms and website.
