Google reCAPTCHA reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that helps protect websites from spam and abuse. A “CAPTCHA” is a Turing test to tell humans and bots apart. It is easy for humans to solve, but hard for “bots” and other malicious software to figure out. By adding reCAPTCHA to a site, we can block automated software while helping your welcome users to enter with ease.
Based on our legitimate interest in the prevention of spam and abuse, we use the reCAPTCHA feature of Google on our website. The service includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. Additional information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy is available here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
