12. Cloudflare Turnstile Addendum

Last updated: June 18, 2025

ShareOtter uses Cloudflare Turnstile to protect the service against bots and malicious traffic. This section is supplemental to the rest of this Privacy Policy and provides specific information about how Turnstile processes data when you use ShareOtter.

What Turnstile collects

To distinguish human visitors from bots, Turnstile processes a set of client-side signals (“Signals”), including your IP address, TLS fingerprint, User-Agent header, and the Turnstile sitekey and associated origin. Cloudflare states that it cannot directly identify any individual from these Signals.

How Turnstile uses this information

Bot detection and blocking (Cloudflare as data processor): Turnstile evaluates the Signals above to detect and block bot traffic. The purpose is not to identify, profile, or target individuals — it is solely to keep ShareOtter secure. For this purpose, Cloudflare acts as a data processor on behalf of ShareOtter (the data controller). If you wish to exercise data protection rights in relation to this processing, you may contact us at mohit@shareotter.com.

Improving Turnstile’s bot detection (Cloudflare as data controller): Cloudflare also uses the Signals to refine and improve its bot detection algorithms in response to evolving threats. For this purpose, Cloudflare acts as an independent data controller, governed by Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy and the Turnstile Privacy Notice.

Notice to EU and UK residents

To the extent Turnstile Signals qualify as personal data:

Cookies

The cookies and Signals set by Turnstile are strictly necessary for bot detection. They are not used for advertising or tracking. For more information, refer to Cloudflare’s Cookie Policy and the Turnstile Developer Docs.
