<h3>Third-Party Service Integration</h3>
⚠️ IMPORTANT: External Service Usage
This plugin integrates with Google reCAPTCHA service to provide spam protection and bot detection. By using this plugin, you acknowledge that it will communicate with Google’s servers to verify CAPTCHA responses.
What data is sent to Google reCAPTCHA: 
– User’s IP address 
– Browser fingerprint data (collected by Google’s reCAPTCHA script) 
– User interaction patterns (mouse movements, timing, etc.) 
– The reCAPTCHA response token generated by user interaction
When data is sent: 
– Every time a user submits a form protected by reCAPTCHA 
– During key verification checks in the admin panel 
– When loading reCAPTCHA scripts on protected pages
Google reCAPTCHA Service Links: 
– Terms of Service: https://developers.google.com/terms/ 
– Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy 
– reCAPTCHA Terms: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/terms.html 
– reCAPTCHA Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy#infocollect
Purpose of External Service: 
Google reCAPTCHA is essential for distinguishing between human users and automated bots. This service analyzes user behavior patterns and interaction data to determine if form submissions are legitimate. Without this integration, the plugin cannot provide spam protection functionality.
Data Processing: 
All data sent to Google is processed according to Google’s privacy policy. No sensitive form data (passwords, personal information) is sent to Google – only the reCAPTCHA response tokens and standard verification data.
User Consent: 
By enabling reCAPTCHA on your forms, you are responsible for informing your users about this third-party integration according to your local privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).

<h3>Third-Party Services</h3>
<h4>Google reCAPTCHA v3</h4>
What it is and what it’s used for: 
This plugin uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect your contact forms from spam and abuse. reCAPTCHA v3 analyzes user behavior to detect whether a form submission is likely to be legitimate or spam. Unlike previous reCAPTCHA versions, v3 operates invisibly — your visitors won’t see a CAPTCHA challenge or checkbox. This plugin will only use Google reCAPTCHA if you a reCAPTCHA public and private key in the contact form settings section. If left empty, no data will be submitted but your forms wont be protected from spam aswell.
What data is sent and when: 
When a form with reCAPTCHA protection is submitted, the plugin sends the user’s reCAPTCHA token to Google’s servers. This token is generated automatically based on the user’s interaction with your site and the form. Google uses this data to analyze user behavior and assign a risk score to determine if the submission should be processed. The data sent includes: 
– The reCAPTCHA token 
– The action name (form submission) 
– The user’s IP address and browser information
