About

CleanTalk is a cloud-based anti-spam protection service that protects websites from spambots.

hCaptcha is a security service for detecting and preventing human and automated abuse on websites and applications, often used as a drop-in alternative to reCAPTCHA.

It uses machine learning-driven bot detection and risk scoring without collecting personal data for GDPR, CCPA and global privacy compliance, and offers customizable challenge types and passive modes to reduce user friction.
