Overview
Private Captcha protects web forms and APIs from bots. A drop-in widget solves an invisible cryptographic task in the background rather than showing a puzzle, with ready-made integrations for common platforms and frameworks and a callback-based JavaScript snippet. It runs on EU-based infrastructure without cookies, tracking or fingerprinting, and can also be self-hosted.
