Captcha

We offer our customers two options when we develop a Secure Webform for them.  They can choose to deploy either Google reCAPTCHA or our captcha tool.

Google reCAPTCHA

Google’s reCAPTCHA helps protect against cyber spam and abuse.  Google reCAPTCHA deploys a token to your device which sends information to the Google API about  your hardware and software information (e.g. device and application data and the results of integrity checks) and sending that data to Google for analysis.  This data may include other information about the cookies placed by Google over the last 6 months, how many mouse clicks you made on the screen (or touches if on a touch device), the CSS information for that page, the date, the browser language, plug-ins installed on your browser and Javascript objects.  This information will be used by Google for improving the reCAPTCHA tool and for general security purposes (it will not be used for personalised advertising).

Our systems simply receive a yes/no type answer from Google before proceeding or rejecting your submission.  No information about you is collected by us.

Our own captcha tool

If our own captcha system is deployed then it simply checks whether the details entered match and then our systems either proceed or reject your submission.  No information about you is collected by us.

Do we use anything similar to a cookie?

Yes, our desktop plug-ins and mobile apps will recognise you and your device in order to ensure that your plug-in, device and app are able to be correctly authenticated by our systems.  These provide essential operations in order to enable you to use these free-to-download tools.  Our systems do not obtain any other information about you from this functionality.
