Remove reference to Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy in reCAPTCHA's context #84

Starting April 2, 2026, reCAPTCHA is switching from a data controller to a data processor. See:

• Switching Google’s role with reCAPTCHA from Data Controller to Data Processor
• Frequently Asked Questions

Quoting the page:

To effectuate this switch, we are updating our Google Cloud Platform Service Specific Terms that govern the use of reCAPTCHA. A customer’s users accessing reCAPTCHA-protected websites will no longer be subjected to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use, and Google will remove those references from the reCAPTCHA badge used in customer deployments. reCAPTCHA will process data gathered at customer websites in accordance with our Cloud Data Processing Addendum.

If your website currently displays references to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use in connection with reCAPTCHA, remove those references from your website.

Google's policies are mentioned in our Privacy Policy, but will no longer be applicable in the context of reCAPTCHA. After this change is complete, this reference must be removed.
