CPPA Compliance Checklist

Friendly Captcha offers a CAPTCHA solution compliant with Canada’s CPPA. It helps your enterprise meet the key principles of Canada’s proposed Consumer Privacy Protection Act (CPPA) under Bill C-27. Here’s a quick compliance checklist mapping Friendly Captcha’s features to CPPA requirements:

Appropriate and proportional data use

Human or bot? We only collect data that is technically necessary. According to CPPA §12.1, enterprises must ensure that their data collection, use, and disclosure practices are appropriate under the circumstances.

Purpose Limitation

User data is used strictly for security purposes. In accordance with CPPA §13, personal data may only be used for purposes that are identified at or before the time of collection.

No cookies

Friendly Captcha does not use HTTP cookies or persistent storage. There is no personal data processing that would trigger the consent requirement as required under §15 of the CPPA.

No Disclosure or Third-Party Sharing

No user data and personal information is shared or disclosed to third parties. CPPA sections 19–22 place strict conditions on data disclosures and certain business uses of information, to ensure enterprises handle consumer data with transparency and accountability.

Privacy by design and default

Our bot protection technology is based on Proof-of-Work, not personal data. Under CPPA Section 9, enterprises must implement privacy as a core system design principle.

Built-in Transparency

We provide a clear, human-readable privacy policy and make our front-end code open source. This complies with CPPA Section 62.1, which requires enterprises to provide clear explanations of their data practices.
