  6. Confirmation Message - After the form is submitted, display a confirmation message to let the user know their submission was successful. This reassures them that their information has been received.
  7. Data Privacy - Ensure you communicate how the collected information will be used and stored, complying with data privacy regulations. Include a privacy policy link or GDPR consent checkbox if required.
