It uses a privacy-focused proof-of-work (PoW) system to block bots and spam, offering a modern alternative to intrusive CAPTCHAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ALTCHA is fully GDPR-compliant and is already trusted by the UK Government.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group widescreen\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\">\r\n        <div style=\"position: relative;
