MailChimp hidden confirm showing in form results

I am using <perch:input type="hidden" value="1" id="confirm" mailer="confirm_subscribe" /> in my form to automatically opt in the user filling out the signup form.

Unfortunately this ends up in the form response data as: 'confirm 1'

Is there a way to omit this from the form results?

I believe all the data is stored. Do you not need it for auditing purposes?

Thanks, it looks that way. For auditing, you mean to prove they opted in by submitting a form with a hidden field?

Yes, as in "our mailing provider has cancelled our account due to reported abuse - what evidence do we have that this was not abuse?"
