Google reCAPTCHA?
We use the Google reCAPTCHA service, a captcha service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, on selected web forms on our website. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ , Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated , to protect our website from spam e-mail and abuse. The service is for differentiating whether a form input is made by a human or by a machine.
To determine this, when using the reCAPTCHA service, Google stores a cookie in your browser and collects the following data:
• IP-Address (anonymised)
• Referrer-URL (page where the reCAPTCHA is used)
• Type of browser, browser size and resolution, browser plug-ins, date, language setting
• Mouse or touch events within the reCAPTCHA box
• Assignment to a Google account (if you are logged in to Google using the reCAPTCHA service)
Data processing with Google reCAPTCHA is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the protection of our website from abusive automated spying and spam constitutes a legitimate interest.
Your IP address collected for the reCAPTCHA service will be transmitted to Google. Previously, however, it will be shortened and anonymised by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate how you use this service. The IP address sent by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data provided by Google. A further transmission of the data does not take place. Furthermore, no data from other sources are associated with the collected data.
Your input will be processed by Google to improve pattern recognition for the reCAPTCHA tool. Furthermore, Google reads the cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search and Analytics. All mentioned data will be sent encrypted to Google. Googles subsequent evaluation decides on the form in which the captcha is displayed on the page - in the form of a checkbox or text input
A readout or storage of personal data from the input fields of the respective form does not take place. For more information about Googles privacy policy, see: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
