External Services

Google reCAPTCHA

This plugin optionally integrates with Google reCAPTCHA to help prevent spam form submissions. This feature is disabled by default and only active when a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key are configured in the plugin settings.

What it does: Verifies that a form submission was made by a human and not an automated bot.

What data is sent and when: * When a visitor loads a page containing a Koala Forms form with reCAPTCHA enabled, Google’s reCAPTCHA script is loaded from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js. This may send the visitor’s IP address and browser information to Google. * When a visitor submits a form, the reCAPTCHA response token is sent from your WordPress server to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify to verify the submission. No personal form field data is included in this request.

This data is sent to Google only when reCAPTCHA is enabled in the plugin settings.
