Security and Fraud Prevention (reCAPTCHA)

Use of Google reCAPTCHA

To protect our website from spam, malicious bots, and abuse, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Cloud.

Data Collection and Purpose

When you interact with our website, reCAPTCHA collects certain hardware and software information, including your IP address, device and application data, and behavioural signals (such as mouse movements or the duration of your visit). This data is collected and analysed solely to distinguish between human users and automated bots.

Third-Party Processors

We have engaged Channel Digital Ltd to manage and maintain our website’s technical and security infrastructure. Channel Digital Ltd integrates and manages the Google reCAPTCHA service on our behalf.

In this arrangement:

  • ADP Fairoaks Ltd is the Data Controller, determining the purpose of this security measure.
  • Channel Digital Ltd acts as our Data Processor, managing the implementation.
  • Google acts as a Sub-processor, executing the security analysis.

Strict Usage Limitations

The data collected by reCAPTCHA is processed strictly in accordance with our instructions. It is used exclusively to provide, maintain, and improve the reCAPTCHA security and threat-detection capabilities. Google does not use the personal data collected through this service for personalized advertising, tracking across other websites, or any other independent Google services.

Legal Basis

The processing of this data is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the security, integrity, and availability of our online platform (e.g., pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
