Spam Protection with Google reCAPTCHA

We have implemented Google reCAPTCHA in forms on our website to verify whether the data entered in the forms is provided by human visitors or by machines or automated programs, also 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 primary purpose of this processing is to prevent misuse 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. 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. Further information can be found in Google reCAPTCHA's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

 

Website Analysis (Jimdo Statistics)

When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analysis tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens them, and stores this data with a hash function. Through this process, a visitor identifier is created, 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 preserving your anonymity. Furthermore, we do not combine this information with other data, and it is only stored on the hosting provider's server.

 

We also process web analysis data, HTTP data, and web analysis profile data. The web analysis tool we use creates and stores a web analysis profile that contains details about your website usage, such as page views, frequency of visits, time spent on each page, and your device's user agent. This includes usage data (such as visited web pages 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 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), especially in conducting web measurements to improve our products and our website.

 

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