## Description

adCAPTCHA offers a unique proposition in the digital space by combining Security,
Marketing and UX to form a product which beats Bots and elevates brands. Current

data and offer limitless variables by the nature of Brand’s ever changing content.

### Privacy Notices

adCAPTCHA adheres to GDPR regulations.

This plugin intentionally avoids the use of cookies, refrains from tracking users,
storing personal data, or engaging with unnecessary external services during the
verification process.

During verification, the adCAPTCHA service may briefly receive the user’s IP address
and browser vendor data to safeguard enabled pages. However, it promptly discards
this information after verification and does not retain any data. Importantly, none
of the information utilized for verification enables adCAPTCHA to identify individual
users.
