Spam Protection with Google reCAPTCHA

We have implemented Google reCAPTCHA in forms on our website to verify whether the data entered in the forms comes from human visitors or from machines or automated programs, commonly known as "bots." This tool automatically analyzes the behavior of website visitors as soon as they interact with the website, using various information such as IP address, duration of stay, and mouse movements.

The processed data includes usage data such as the accessed webpage, date and time of access, and mouse movements, as well as communication data such as IP addresses, browser type, and operating system. This processing is aimed at website visitors and users of online services. The main purpose of this processing is to prevent abuse of our contact form and thereby increase security. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f of the GDPR.

The data recipients are Google Ireland Ltd, located at Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland, (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and our website hosting provider. While your personal data is processed within the EU, the retention period for the processed data is determined by Google Ireland Limited. For more information, please refer to the privacy policy of Google reCAPTCHA: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Translation of the Text on Website Analysis (Jimdo Statistics)

When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens them, and stores this data using a hash function. This process creates a visitor identifier that is encrypted with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor identifier, thus maintaining your anonymity. Additionally, we do not combine this information with other data, and it is only stored on the server of the hosting provider.

We also process web analytics data, HTTP data, and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile that contains details about your usage of the website, such as page views, visit frequency, time spent on each page, and the user agent of your device. This includes usage data (such as visited webpages and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system, and IP addresses).

By processing this data, we aim to analyze user behavior in an aggregated form to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR), particularly in conducting web measurements to enhance our products and our website.

The collected data is shared with our website hosting provider and processed within the EU.
