Google’s reCAPTCHA helps protect your Rocketspark forms from spam and bots by confirming that submissions come from real people. Google has moved reCAPTCHA to Google Cloud to provide improved security, management, and reliability through its cloud infrastructure. It’s still free for most websites, though high-volume or enterprise users may need to set up billing. We recommend using reCAPTCHA on any form where you want to prevent spam — like contact forms, sign-ups, or checkout pages — to keep your site secure and running smoothly.
