Prosopo Procaptcha

Prosopo Procaptcha is a GDPR-compliant CAPTCHA that stops bots submitting your forms. Most visitors see nothing to solve: Procaptcha only shows a challenge to visitors who look like bots.

Key Features of Procaptcha

• Private & GDPR Friendly – No cookies and no tracking.
• Invisible by default – Most visitors see nothing to solve. Visitors who look like bots get a Proof of Work, image or jigsaw puzzle challenge. On paid plans you can pick a single challenge type in the Prosopo portal.
• Drop-in replacement – Replaces reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha, and takes a few minutes to set up.
• Free tier – 10,000 requests a month free. See pricing for higher limits.
• Honeypot and abusive networks – A hidden honeypot trap and blocking of known abusive networks are included on the free plan.
• Statistics – See your monthly captcha counts and traffic without leaving WordPress.

Third-Party Service Notice

For proper functionality, the plugin loads the Prosopo Procaptcha JavaScript on your chosen forms to display the CAPTCHA on the client side.

Upon form submission, the plugin communicates with the Prosopo Procaptcha API server-side to verify the CAPTCHA response.

The plugin’s settings and statistics pages request your account details and usage figures from the Prosopo Procaptcha API (api.prosopo.io), using the keys you entered.

Please review the Prosopo Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions to fully understand data handling practices.
