Re-captcha
To protect our web forms from automated requests, we use a so-called captcha from a third-party provider (Google). Within the scope of the captcha function, you may be asked to solve tasks or click on checkboxes. The user input made in this context and possibly also the mouse movements are used to assess whether the input originates from a human or an automated program.
Since the function is provided by a third-party provider, the display of the captcha leads to content from the third-party provider being reloaded. The third-party provider is therefore able to obtain the information that you have accessed our site as well as the usage data that is technically required in this context. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.
The embedding is based on our legitimate interest of protection against spam and abuse. If data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information about the level of data protection in the following table. For transfers to the U.S., an adequate level of data protection is ensured due to the certification of the provider under the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).
