You can use google forms embedd into your wordpress site. Or you can also directly use google forms to take input data and store them in your personal google account, assuming that google is a safe place for you to keep data whereas wordpress could be hacked or distorted by other people.
You can build this with wordpress. But… you would need a secure site… so – good hosting. SSL. Wordfence or similar protection. Make sure you force strong passwords on all admins
WordPress is as safe as you make it. The vast majority of people who get hacked have used simple account names, like admin, or simple passwords. If you lock the site down, it’s ok..
That’s dangerous stuff these days. You want to be careful. Find HIPAA or FERPA compliant hosting and be very careful about how you take the info.
