GDPR

Designed for EU data law.

A short summary of how TrustedCaptcha helps you meet GDPR obligations.

Lawful basis

You are the data controller, we are the processor (Art. 28). The lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f) — preventing automated abuse of your forms. We've documented the legitimate interest assessment; it's available on request.

Data minimization

We collect IPs truncated to /24 (IPv4) or /64 (IPv6) — never full IPs. User-agent strings are SHA-256 hashed with a per-deployment pepper. No browser fingerprinting beyond what's needed for the risk score.

Storage location

All processing happens in Frankfurt, Germany (Hetzner). No data leaves the EU. No US sub-processors for the verification API. Email goes through Mailgun's EU region; payments via Stripe Ireland.

Article 28 DPA

Available to all Pro customers on signing. Email the DPO with your company name + signatory and we'll countersign within 2 business days.

Data subject rights (Art. 15–22)

The Account → Privacy page in your dashboard has one-click data export (Art. 20) and account deletion (Art. 17). For data subjects requesting access through your service, route them to us via your DPO.

Breach notification (Art. 33)

Any confirmed personal-data breach gets disclosed to affected customers within 24 hours; to the supervisory authority (DPC Ireland for our EU operations) within 72 hours; to affected data subjects without undue delay where required.

This page summarises our practical posture. The legally binding documents are the privacy policy, terms, and DPA.
