ConsentForms vs Google Forms
A Google Form with a 'type your name' box is not a waiver. You need a signature image, a frozen copy of the text they agreed to, and a way to prove it later.
Google Forms is excellent for RSVPs and quizzes. It is the wrong place to store a liability waiver. There is no drawn signature, no published-version hash, and no kiosk reset for the next person in line.
ConsentForms publishes a version, collects a signature on any phone, and stores an encrypted payload plus a hash of that version. If you edit the waiver tomorrow, last week's signatures still point at last week's text.
If you only need a headcount, stay on Google. If an insurer or parent will ask 'what did they sign?', use this.
ConsentForms
- Drawn or typed e-signatures
- Tamper-evident hash of the form version
- Signed PDF you can download
- QR and kiosk for the door
The other option
- Free and familiar
- Fine for RSVPs, not for waivers
Questions
Can I import a Google Form?
Paste the public link into Jarvis. Review every question — Google Forms does not have a real signature field, so Jarvis will add one.
Guides and templates are a starting point, not legal advice. ConsentForms is not a HIPAA product.
