Privacy Policy – Use of Google reCAPTCHA
Use of Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (version 2) on our website to verify whether data entered into forms (e.g. contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program.
The provider of this service is:
Google Ireland Limited
Gordon House, Barrow Street
Dublin 4, Ireland
(Parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA)
reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various characteristics to distinguish humans from bots.
The data collected may include:
– IP address
– Browser and device information
– Time spent on the website
– Mouse movements and user interactions
– Possibly Google cookies
The reCAPTCHA analysis runs automatically in the background as soon as the user visits a page containing a form. Users are not specifically informed that such analysis is taking place.
The processing of data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR – legitimate interest in protecting our web forms from abuse and spam.
If explicit consent is requested (e.g. via a cookie banner), data will be processed exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR – consent. This consent can be revoked at any time.
