No, Google reCAPTCHA v2 is not HIPAA compliant because it collects user interaction data (such as IP addresses, mouse movements, and browser details) and sends it to Google's servers for analysis. Since Google does not sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for reCAPTCHA, it does not meet HIPAA compliance requirements for handling protected health information (PHI).
Alternatives for HIPAA Compliance: If your website deals with PHI and requires CAPTCHA, consider: ✅ HIPAA-compliant CAPTCHA solutions (e.g., hCaptcha, self-hosted CAPTCHA systems) ✅ Other security measures like multi-factor authentication (MFA) and bot protection
