Ok, we’ll wait and see then, but that’s a bit stressful. I’m surprised though that you nor your team received this communication…It would have been great to receive a communication regarding this or a notification.
Yes, I’m referring to the links inside the ReCAPTCHA graphic at the bottom of your forms.
I’m surprised that you did not see this communication from Google Cloud Services…Many of my clients in addition to my Agency received this email…Notice the “Action Required” near the bottom…It says that we must remove the Privacy and Terms links since they are changing to being a data processer vs. a data controller:
We’re writing to let you know that we’ll be changing how we handle your data submitted to our reCAPTCHA service.
Starting on April 2, 2026, we’ll be switching from acting as a data controller, determining how personal data submitted to reCAPTCHA may be used, to a data processor, processing the data strictly for your use in the reCAPTCHA service. This change enables you to have greater control over how your data is used.
We’ve provided a summary of the timeline and the steps needed to prepare for this change. What you need to know
As part of the transition from data controller to data processor, the legal terms governing your and your customers’ use of reCAPTCHA will change:
- Google will process your data in accordance with our Cloud Data Processing Addendum.
- Your end customers’ use of reCAPTCHA will no longer be subject to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. The provisions in our Google Cloud Platform Service Specific Terms regarding reCAPTCHA will be updated to reflect this change.
Key changes:
No features or functionalities of the reCAPTCHA service will be impacted.
For more information, please see our Switching Google’s role with reCAPTCHA from data controller to data processor blog. What you need to do
Action required:
Starting April 2, 2026, if your website currently displays references to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use in connection with reCAPTCHA, you will need to remove those references from your website. See the reCAPTCHA frequently asked questions site for more information. We’re here to helpIf you have any questions or require assistance, please contact Google Cloud Support.
Thanks for choosing reCAPTCHA.
I followed the same advice … It was a permissions issue that caused the problem. Deactivating and reactivating fixed it (though reinstalling over it did not fix it, which is what I did first). Thank you for your assistance…That was stressful!!!
I wish that it were that easy. There is no “Code Snippets” or “WP Code” or “Insert Header/Footers” in this client’s dashboard nor in the left WordPress Menu!! That’s why we’re frustrated!!! (I emailed back a screenshot, but not sure that you can get it), so here’s a link to the screenshot:
