## What is TrustCaptcha?

TrustCaptcha combines proof-of-work, an AI bot-score and custom security rules to stop automated bot abuse — without image marking or puzzles

Key perks:
- **Privacy-friendly & GDPR-compliant** – data processed exclusively in Europe
- **No visual challenges** – users never label images or solve quizzes
- **Fully themable widget** – matches any brand and design and improves your user flow
- **Conversion-safe** – near-zero user drop-off compared to legacy CAPTCHAs

Read the full [TrustCaptcha product overview](https://www.trustcomponent.com/en/products/captcha) for technical details and the security concept.
