+1On April 2, 2026, reCAPTCHA will transition from a Data Controller to a Data Processor, offering customers greater control over their users' personal data. With this switch, customers deploying reCAPTCHA on their websites will become data controllers, while Google will become a data processor. To learn more, check out our blog.
The reCAPTCHA widget has links to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Starting April 2, 2026, will those links go away automatically?
I'm so confused by the Google Cloud emails regarding reCAPTCHA. I have a Google My Business profile page, but am no longer using it to host my website. And as far as I know, I am no longer using the Google reCAPTCHA plugin on my NEK Editing website, unless my two Jotform forms are, which I don't have any control over how they work. Can someone please tell me if this plugin/app applies to me? If not, why am I getting these emails?
As a data controller from 2 April, we will need to meet our obligations for multiple GDPR articles. Can you publish these please?
I couldn’t see these listed on the existing pages.
Hi there, could you please confirm what timezone the rollout date is in? I’m based in New Zealand (NZDT), and I want to make sure I’m interpreting the date correctly
Hi, Is Google able to give guidance on the language we should now use in our privacy policies as Data Controllers of the data individuals use for reCAPTCHA? I understand the removal of reference to Google for reCAPTCHA as you are no longer Data Controllers but what should customers/businesses now say in their privacy policy regarding reCAPTCHA and/or directly when they collect information for reCAPTCHA? Now that they will be Data Controllers their are GDPR requirements to meet.
In addition to this how does the Controller to Processor relationship governed between business and Google?
