https://www.hcaptcha.com/ is a drop-in replacement for recaptcha.

It's not EU based, but at least it's not Google, and the service is privacy oriented...

It's run by Intuition Machines, Inc. which seems to be incorporated in California. That fact alone disqualifies it.

Actually, no. hCaptcha has always been very privacy-focused, so in this case there are technical safeguards available: enterprise customers can pre-blind all data on their end, meaning hCaptcha gets no PII at all.
