⠀Global Privacy Compliance

Our Commitment to Privacy
At CaptchaText, privacy isn't just about compliance - it's fundamental to our core architecture. Our revolutionary Zero Database approach sets us apart in the CAPTCHA service industry, ensuring maximum privacy while delivering robust security. We operate on a unique premise: the best way to protect user data is to not store it at all. Our system collects only the essential minimum - an IP address during initial API key registration - and nothing more. We don't track, store, or process any user behavior data, traffic patterns, or verification metrics. This minimalist approach not only enhances security but also ensures compliance with privacy regulations worldwide.

Zero Database Architecture
Our proprietary Hybrid In-Memory Indexing (Hybrid IMI) engine revolutionizes how CAPTCHA services handle data. By eliminating traditional database systems, we've removed the primary vector for data breaches - stored data. This architecture ensures that user interactions leave no permanent digital footprint, making CaptchaText inherently privacy-preserving while maintaining enterprise-grade security standards.

⠀European Privacy Compliance

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
The EU's GDPR sets the global standard for data protection and privacy. CaptchaText's Zero Database architecture inherently aligns with GDPR's principles of data minimization and privacy by design. We collect no personal data during CAPTCHA verification processes, ensuring complete compliance with GDPR's strict requirements. The only data point we temporarily maintain is the IP address during API key registration, which is essential for security verification. This approach eliminates concerns about data retention, right to erasure, and data portability, as no personal data is stored or processed during normal operation.

DPA (Data Protection Act - UK)
The UK's Data Protection Act 2018 parallels GDPR while adding UK-specific requirements. CaptchaText's architecture ensures compliance by operating without persistent data storage. Our system's design aligns perfectly with the DPA's principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. We maintain no user profiles, tracking mechanisms, or persistent logs, making our service inherently compliant with the DPA's strict requirements for data protection and privacy. This approach particularly benefits UK businesses requiring both robust security and privacy compliance.

⠀Billing System Privacy & Data Protection

While our CAPTCHA service operates on a Zero Database architecture ensuring complete privacy, our billing system necessarily maintains limited personal information for paid account management (Prime, Elite or Custom plans). This data collection is strictly limited to essential information required for processing payments, account management, and administrative purposes. We maintain complete transparency about what information is collected during the billing process, and this data is handled with the highest level of security in compliance with global privacy regulations.

The billing information we collect is used solely for account management, payment processing, and support services. This data is never sold, rented, or shared with third parties except where strictly necessary for payment processing and regulatory compliance. We implement rigorous security measures including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits to protect your billing information. Our commitment to privacy extends across all aspects of our service, ensuring that even necessary data collection is minimized and protected.

As part of our commitment to privacy, users maintain complete control over their billing information. We provide transparent access to view, update, or modify account details through our secure billing portal. All billing data is stored in compliance with international financial regulations and privacy laws, including PCI DSS for payment processing. Our privacy-first approach ensures that while we maintain necessary billing records, we do so with the same commitment to privacy and security that defines our core CAPTCHA service.
