Third-Party Service Integration

⚠️ IMPORTANT: External Service Usage

This plugin integrates with Google reCAPTCHA service to provide spam protection and bot detection. By using this plugin, you acknowledge that it will communicate with Google’s servers to verify CAPTCHA responses.

What data is sent to Google reCAPTCHA:
– User’s IP address
– Browser fingerprint data (collected by Google’s reCAPTCHA script)
– User interaction patterns (mouse movements, timing, etc.)
– The reCAPTCHA response token generated by user interaction

When data is sent:
– Every time a user submits a form protected by reCAPTCHA
– During key verification checks in the admin panel
– When loading reCAPTCHA scripts on protected pages

Google reCAPTCHA Service Links:
– Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms/
– Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
– reCAPTCHA Terms: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/terms.html
– reCAPTCHA Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy#infocollect

Purpose of External Service:
Google reCAPTCHA is essential for distinguishing between human users and automated bots. This service analyzes user behavior patterns and interaction data to determine if form submissions are legitimate. Without this integration, the plugin cannot provide spam protection functionality.

Data Processing:
All data sent to Google is processed according to Google’s privacy policy. No sensitive form data (passwords, personal information) is sent to Google – only the reCAPTCHA response tokens and standard verification data.

User Consent:
By enabling reCAPTCHA on your forms, you are responsible for informing your users about this third-party integration according to your local privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
