Google reCAPTCHA (Translation)

​

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is provided by a human user or by an automated program.

​

For this purpose, reCAPTCHA evaluates various types of information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website, or user interactions such as mouse movements). The data collected during this analysis is transmitted to Google.

​

The analysis is performed entirely in the background, and users are not explicitly notified that it is taking place.

The storage and analysis of this data are based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its services from abusive automated access and spam. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting).
