External services

This plugin can use Google reCAPTCHA to detect automated or abusive submissions. The service is contacted only when a site administrator enables reCAPTCHA, supplies credentials, and places a CAPTCHA field in a form.

On a page containing an enabled CAPTCHA field, the browser loads the Google reCAPTCHA script from google.com. When the form is submitted, classic or migrated v2 mode sends the reCAPTCHA response token and visitor IP address to Google’s SiteVerify API. Google Cloud reCAPTCHA Enterprise mode sends the response token, configured site key and action, visitor IP address, and browser user agent to the reCAPTCHA Enterprise assessments API.
