Google previously considered itself to be the controller of the data processed as part of reCAPTCHA. This meant that the company independently determined the purposes and means of processing - including the possibility of using the information collected as part of the CAPTCHA checks for its own purposes.<\/p><p>This is precisely where the criticism of many data protectionists comes in. Although website operators technically integrate reCAPTCHA, they have only limited influence over how Google processes the user data collected in the process. In particular, there were complaints that the data processing could go beyond the mere prevention of abuse and be used by Google for analysis or improvement purposes. This raised considerable data protection issues with regard to the GDPR and Section 25 TDDDG.<\/p><p>With the announcement at the beginning of 2026, Google is now making a fundamental adjustment. In future, an order processing contract will be provided for reCAPTCHA; the Google Cloud Data Processing Addendum is decisive here.<\/p><p>Link tip: <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/terms\/data-processing-addendum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Data Processing Addendum<\/a><\/p><p>In this constellation, Google will in future process the data collected as part of reCAPTCHA on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of the respective website operators. The data may therefore only be processed to provide and secure the service and no longer for Google's own purposes.<\/p><p>The main responsibility under data protection law therefore clearly lies with the website operators who use reCAPTCHA.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-223f3a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"223f3a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Technically, everything remains the same with reCAPTCHA<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd93f7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd93f7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The technical functionality of reCAPTCHA will not change as a result of the changeover.

On the contrary, it brings these obligations even more into focus.<\/p><h5><strong>Consent requirement remains in place in many cases<\/strong><\/h5><p>Even if Google acts as a processor in the future, the obligation to obtain consent will not change in many cases.<\/p><p>When using reCAPTCHA, the following data is regularly <strong>Information stored or read out on the user's end device<\/strong>, for example via cookies or other technical identifiers. The aim is to analyze the behavior of website visitors and detect automated access. This means that the use still falls under Section 25 (1) TDDDG.<\/p><p>In practice, this means that reCAPTCHA should only be loaded regularly after prior consent has been given via a consent management tool. Companies should therefore check this,<\/p><ul><li>whether the reCAPTCHA script is actually only activated after approval and<\/li><li>whether the service is correctly described in the content banner.<\/li><\/ul><p><br \/>In addition, it may make sense to examine less intrusive alternatives or to integrate reCAPTCHA technically in such a way that data transmissions are reduced as much as possible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c76383 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4c76383\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Have your website checked now<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d1f54b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d1f54b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The changeover is a significant step from a compliance perspective.
