This analysis automatically starts as soon as a page with a reCAPTCHA-secured form is accessed. The analysis is based on data collected by reCAPTCHA (e.g. IP address, dwell time, interactions with the form and the website). Such data is forwarded to Google.

The relation to Google Analytics is governed by the EU standard contractual clauses.

Data is processed on the basis of the overriding legitimate interest to protect against unauthorised use of forms.
