Introduction and overview

We have written this data protection declaration (version 05.04.2022-121990503) in order to explain to you in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws what personal data (short data) we consider Those responsible – and the processors commissioned by us (e.g. providers) – process, will process in the future and what legal options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We inform you comprehensively about the data that we process about you.

Data protection declarations usually sound very technical and use legal terms . This data protection declaration , however, is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible . To the extent that it promotes transparency , technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner , links to further information are provided and graphics are used. We thereby inform you in clear and simple language that we only process personal data as part of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis . This is certainly not possible if you make as brief , unclear and legal-technical explanations as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and perhaps there is one or two pieces of information that you didn't know yet.
If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body named below or in the legal notice, follow the existing links and look at further information on third-party sites. You can of course also find our contact details in the legal notice.

scope of application

This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data that companies commissioned by us (contract processors) process. By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Article 4 No. 1 GDPR such as a person's name, email address and postal address. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and bill our services and products , be it online or offline. The scope of this data protection declaration includes :

• all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate

• Social media appearances and email communication

• mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner within the company via the channels mentioned . If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary .

Legal basis

In the following data protection declaration we provide you with transparent information about the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016. You can of course access this EU General Data Protection Regulation online at EUR- Lex, access to EU law, can be found at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679 .

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

1. Consent (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be saving the data you entered on a contact form.

2. Contract (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR): In order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you , we process your data. For example, if we conclude a purchase contract with you , we require personal information in advance.

3. Legal obligation (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we process your data. For example, we are legally obliged to keep invoices for accounting purposes. These usually contain personal data.

4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your fundamental rights , we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we need to process certain data in order to operate our website securely and economically efficiently . This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Further conditions such as the perception of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of public authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not generally apply to us. If such a legal basis is relevant, it will be shown in the appropriate place .

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

• In Austria this is the Federal Law for the Protection of Natural Persons with regard to the Processing of Personal Data ( Data Protection Act ), or DSG for short .

• Federal Data Protection Act , or BDSG for short, applies in Germany .

If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections .

Data transfer to third countries

We only transfer or process data to countries outside the EU ( third countries ) if you agree to this processing, if this is required by law or contractually necessary and in any case only to the extent that this is generally permitted. In most cases, your consent is the most important reason why we have data processed in third countries . Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software manufacturers provide services and have their server locations, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.

We expressly point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. Data processing by US services (such as Google Analytics) may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. It can also happen that collected data is linked to data from other services from the same provider, provided you have a corresponding user account . Where possible, we try to use server locations within the EU, if this is offered.

We will inform you in more detail about data transfer to third countries in the appropriate places in this data protection declaration , if this applies.

Security of data processing

protect personal data , we have implemented both technical and organizational measures . Where possible , we encrypt or pseudonymize personal data. In doing so, we make it as difficult as possible for third parties to infer personal information from our data .

Art. 25 GDPR speaks here of “ data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings ” and means that one always thinks about security and the corresponding security when it comes to both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room). takes measures . Below we will go into specific measures if necessary .

TLS encryption with https

TLS, encryption and https sound very technical and they are. We use HTTPS (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for “ secure hypertext transfer protocol ” ) to transmit data over the Internet in a secure manner .
This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured - no one can “ eavesdrop ” .

introduced an additional security layer and fulfill data protection through technical design Article 25 paragraph 1 GDPR ). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognize the use of this data transfer protection by the small lock symbol at the top left of the browser, to the left of the internet address (e.g. examplepage.de ) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our internet address. If you
would like to know more about encryption , we recommend searching Google for “ Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki ” to get good links to further information.

For this purpose, certain technical facilities such as: B. E-mail programs, exchange servers and mobile phone operators are necessary in order to be able to operate communication efficiently .

Order processing agreement (AVV)

In this section we would like to explain to you what a data processing agreement is and why it is needed . Because the word “ order processing agreement ” is quite a tongue twister, we will often only use the acronym AVV here in the text. Like most companies, we do not work alone, but also use the services of other companies or individuals. Due to the involvement of various companies or service providers, we may pass on personal data for processing. These partners then act as processors with whom we conclude a contract, the so-called data processing agreement (AVV) . The most important thing for you to know is that the processing of your personal data takes place exclusively according to our instructions and must be regulated by the AVV.

Who are processors?

As a company and website owner, we are responsible for all data that we process from you. In addition to those responsible, there can also be so-called processors. This includes every company or person who processes personal data on our behalf. More specifically and according to the GDPR definition: any natural or legal person, authority , institution or other body that processes personal data on our behalf is considered a processor. Processors can therefore be service providers such as hosting or cloud providers, payment or newsletter providers or large companies such as Google or Microsoft.

To make the terminology easier to understand , here is an overview of the three roles in the GDPR:

Data subject (you as a customer or interested party) → Responsible person (we as a company and client) → Processors (service providers such as web hosts or cloud providers)

Content of an order processing contract

As already mentioned above , we have concluded an AVV with our partners who act as processors. Above all, this states that the processor processes the data to be processed exclusively in accordance with the GDPR. The contract must be concluded in writing, although in this context the electronic contract conclusion is also considered “ written ” . The processing of personal data only takes place on the basis of the contract. The contract must contain the following:

• Binding to us as those responsible

• Obligations and rights of the person responsible

• Categories of data subjects

• Type of personal data

• Type and purpose of data processing

• Subject and duration of data processing

• Place of data processing

Furthermore, the contract contains all obligations of the processor. The most important duties are:

• Measures to ensure data security

• to take possible technical and organizational measures to protect the rights of the data subject

• to maintain a data processing directory

• to cooperate with the data protection supervisory authority upon request

• carry out a risk analysis regarding the personal data received

• Sub-processors may only be commissioned with the written consent of the person responsible

Cookies

Cookies summary

👥 Data subjects: visitors to the website

🤝 Purpose: depending on the respective cookie. You can find more details about this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

📓 Processed data: Depends on the cookie used. You can find more details about this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

📅 Storage period: depending on the respective cookie, can vary from hours to years

⚖ ️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What are cookies?

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.
Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration .

Whenever you surf the Internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. To be more precise, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie folder, the “ brain ” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser transmits the “ user -related ” information back to our site . Thanks to cookies , our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are used to. In some browsers each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

The following graphic shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as: B. Chrome and the web server. The web browser requests a website and receives a cookie back from the server , which the browser uses again as soon as another page is requested.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually because each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other “ pests ” . Cookies also cannot access information on your PC.

For example, cookie data might look like this :

Name: _ga
Value: GA1.2.1326744211.152121990503-9
Purpose: Differentiation of website visitors
Expiry date: after 2 years

A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes :

• At least 4096 bytes per cookie

• At least 50 cookies per domain

• At least 3000 cookies in total

What types of cookies are there?

The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration . At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

There are 4 types of cookies:

Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website . For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only later checks out . These cookies do not delete the shopping cart , even if the user closes their browser window .

Useful cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages . These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and behavior of the website on different browsers.

Target-oriented cookies
These cookies ensure better user experience. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.

Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to provide the user with individually tailored advertising. This can be very practical, but also very annoying.

Typically , when you visit a website for the first time, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow . And of course this decision is also stored in a cookie.

If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6265 , the Request for Comments from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called “ HTTP State Management Mechanism ” .

Purpose of processing via cookies

The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. You can find more details about this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

Which data is processed?

Cookies are little assistants for many different tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the data processed or stored in the following data protection declaration .

Storage period of cookies

The storage period depends on the respective cookie and is further specified below . Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour , others can remain stored on a computer for several years.

You also have an influence on the storage period. You can manually delete all cookies at any time via your browser (see also “ Right to object ” below ). Furthermore, cookies that are based on consent will be deleted at the latest after you revoke your consent , although the legality of storage remains unaffected until then .

Right to object – how can I delete cookies ?

You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting cookies , deactivating them or only partially allowing them. For example , you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you would like to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings , you can do this in your browser settings:

Delete , enable and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: Manage cookies and site data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Internet Explorer: Deleting and managing cookies

Microsoft Edge: Deleting and managing cookies

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. This means you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure varies depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google using the search term “ delete cookies Chrome ” or “ deactivate cookies Chrome ” in the case of a Chrome browser.

Legal basis

“ Cookie Guidelines ” have existed since 2009 . This states that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). However, there are still very different reactions to these guidelines within the EU countries . In Austria , however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines have not been implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in Section 15 Paragraph 3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG).

For absolutely necessary cookies, even if no consent has been given, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide visitors to the website with a pleasant user experience and certain cookies are often absolutely necessary for this .

If non-essential cookies are used, this will only happen with your consent. The legal basis in this respect is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR.

In the following sections you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies if the software used uses cookies.

Web hosting introduction

Web hosting summary

👥 Data subjects: visitors to the website

🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and securing its operation

📓 Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. You can find more details about this below or with the web hosting provider you use.

📅 Storage period: depends on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks

⚖ ️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is web hosting?

When you visit websites these days, certain information - including personal data - is created and stored automatically, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification . By the way , by website we mean the entirety of all websites on a domain, i.e. everything from the start page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one). By domain we mean, for example, example.de or musterexample.com .

If you want to view a website on a computer, tablet, or smartphone , you use a program called a web browser . You probably know a few web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. We call it browser or web browser for short.

To display the website, the browser must connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. Operating a web server is a complicated and time-consuming task, which is why it is usually carried out by professional providers . These offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data. A lot of technical terms, but please stay tuned, it gets better!

When the browser connects to your computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and during data transfer to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, but on the other hand, the web server also has to store data for a while to ensure proper operation .

A picture is worth a thousand words, so the following graphic shows the interaction between the browser, the Internet and the hosting provider.

Why do we process personal data?

The purposes of data processing are:

1. Professional website hosting and operational security

2. to maintain operational and IT security

3. Anonymous evaluation of access behavior to improve our offering and, if necessary, to prosecute or pursue claims

Which data is processed?

Even while you are visiting our website, our web server, which is the computer on which this website is stored, usually automatically saves data such as:

• the complete internet address (URL) of the website accessed

• Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)

• the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)

• the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichkommen.html/ )

• the host name and IP address of the device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)

• Date and Time

• in files called web server log files

How long is data stored?

As a rule, the above-mentioned data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted . We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed by authorities if there is illegal behavior.

In short: Your visit will be logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers) ) , but we will not pass on your data without your consent!

Legal basis

The legality of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (protection of legitimate interests), because the use of professional hosting from a provider is necessary to keep the company safe on the Internet and presented in a user-friendly manner and to be able to track attacks and claims resulting from this if necessary .

There is usually a contract for order processing between us and the hosting provider in accordance with Art. 28 et seq. GDPR, which ensures compliance with data protection and guarantees data security.

Hasty data protection declaration

We use Hostinger, among others a web hosting provider, for our website . You can find out more about the data that is processed through the use of Hostinger in the data protection declaration at https://www.hostinger.de/datenschutz-regulations

In addition to our website, we are also active on various social media platforms. User data can be processed so that we can specifically address users who are interested in us via social networks . In addition , elements of a social media platform may also be embedded directly into our website . This is the case, for example, if you click on a so-called social button on our website and are redirected directly to our social media presence. So-called social media or social media are websites and apps through which registered members can produce content, exchange content openly or in specific groups and network with other members .

Why do we use social media?

For years, social media platforms have been the place where people communicate and connect online. With our social media presence we can bring our products and services closer to interested parties . The social media elements integrated on our website help you to switch to our social media content quickly and without complications .

The data that is stored and processed through your use of a social media channel has the primary purpose of being able to carry out web analyses . The aim of these analyzes is to be able to develop more precise and personal marketing and advertising strategies . Depending on your behavior on a social media platform, appropriate conclusions can be made about your interests using the evaluated data and so-called user profiles can be created. This also makes it possible for the platforms to present you with tailored advertisements . Cookies are usually set in your browser for this purpose and store data about your usage behavior.

We generally assume that we remain responsible under data protection law, even if we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has decided that in certain cases the operator of the social media platform can be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Article 26 GDPR. If this is the case, we will point this out separately and work on the basis of an agreement in this regard . The essence of the agreement is then reproduced below for the affected platform.

Please note that when you use the social media platforms or our built-in elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union , as many social media channels , such as Facebook or Twitter , American companies are. This may mean that you may no longer be able to easily request or enforce your rights in relation to your personal data.

Which data is processed?

Exactly which data is stored and processed depends on the respective provider of the social media platform. But usually it involves data such as telephone numbers, email addresses, data that you enter in a contact form, user data such as which buttons you click, who you like or follow, when you visit which pages have, information about your device and your IP address. Most of this data is stored in cookies. Especially if you have a profile on the social media channel you are visiting and are logged in, data can be linked to your profile .

All data collected via a social media platform is also stored on the provider’s servers. This means that only the providers have access to the data and can give you the appropriate information or make changes .

If you want to know exactly what data is stored and processed by social media providers and how you can object to data processing , you should read the company's respective data protection declaration carefully . If you have any questions about data storage and data processing or want to assert the relevant rights, we recommend that you contact the provider directly.

Duration of data processing

We will inform you below about the duration of data processing if we have further information . For example, the social media platform Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own purpose . However, customer data that is compared with your own user data will be deleted within two days . In general, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. If required by law, for example in the case of accounting, this storage period can also be exceeded .

Right to object

You also have the right and opportunity to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers such as embedded social media elements at any time . This works either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating or deleting cookies in your browser .

• ins (such as the “ Like ” or “ Share ” button )

• Facebook login

• Account kit

• APIs (programming interface)

• SDKs (collection of programming tools)

, Facebook expands services and has the ability to obtain information about user activities outside of Facebook.

Why do we use Facebook tools on our website?

However, in order to show users appropriate advertising, Facebook needs information about people's wishes and needs . The company is provided with information about user behavior (and contact details) on our website . This means that Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the appropriate advertising about our products or services. The tools enable tailor - made advertising campaigns on Facebook.

Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website “ event data ” . These are also used for measurement and analysis services. This allows Facebook to create “ campaign reports ” on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. We also use analyzes to gain a better insight into how you use our services, website or products. This allows us to use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook.

What data are stored by Facebook tools?

By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address , telephone number and IP address may be sent .

Facebook uses this information to compare the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, so-called “ hashing ” takes place . This means that a data set of any size is transformed into a character string. This also serves to encrypt data .

In addition to the contact details, “ event data ” is also transmitted. “ Event data ” refers to the information that we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information received with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally obliged to do so. “ Event data ” can also be linked to contact details. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the matching process already mentioned, Facebook deletes the contact details again.

deliver advertisements in an optimized manner, Facebook only uses the event data if it has been combined with other data (which was collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security , protection , development and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies . Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies are created in your browser. We go into more detail about individual Facebook cookies in the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools.

What data does Google store?

When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded via a Google server. Through this external call, data is transmitted to the Google servers .

By the way , API stands for “ Application Programming Interface ” and serves , among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector.

Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely on Google and is therefore protected . By collecting usage figures, Google can determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database . Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to examine and move large amounts of data .

However, it should also be remembered that with every Google Font request, information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name are automatically transmitted to the Google servers . Whether this data is also stored cannot be clearly determined or is not clearly communicated by Google.

How long and where is the data stored?

According to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur when it is collected by Google Maps.

We also have a legitimate interest in using Google Maps to optimize our online service. The corresponding legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interests) . However, we only use Google Maps if you have given your consent.

Google also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can involve various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses ( = Art . 46 para . 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses ( SCC ) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there become. Through these clauses, Google undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data , even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision by the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de

What is reCAPTCHA?

Our primary goal is to secure and protect our website as best as possible for you and for us . To ensure this , we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For Europe , the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are really a flesh-and-blood human being and not a robot or other spam software. By spam we mean any unwanted information sent to us electronically without being asked. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles to check . With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles . In most cases it is enough to simply check the box and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don't even have to check the box anymore . You will find out exactly how this works and, above all , what data is used for this in the course of this data protection declaration .

reCAPTCHA is a free Captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors . The most common use of this service is when filling out forms on the Internet . A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing test designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is carried out by a human and not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after the computer scientist Alan Turing), a human determines the difference between a bot and a human. With Captchas, the computer or a software program also does this. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve , but are significantly difficult for machines . With reCAPTCHA you no longer have to actively solve puzzles . The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish humans from bots. Here you just have to tick the text field “ I am not a robot ” or with Invisible reCAPTCHA even this is no longer necessary . With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source code and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. The software calculates a so-called Captcha score from these user actions. Google uses this score to calculate how likely you are to be human before you enter the Captcha. reCAPTCHA or captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or misuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc. ) .

Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?

welcome people of flesh and blood to our side . Bots or spam software of various kinds can safely stay at home. That's why we pull out all the stops to protect ourselves and offer the best possible user -friendliness for you . For this reason we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure that we will remain a “ bot -free ” website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether you are really human. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and subsequently also your security. For example , without reCAPTCHA, it could happen that when registering, a bot registers as many email addresses as possible in order to then “spam” forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content . With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.

What data is stored by reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users to determine whether the actions on our website actually come from humans. This means that the IP address and other data that Google requires for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google. IP addresses are almost always shortened within EU member states or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address will not be combined with other Google data unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. First , the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) are already placed on your browser . reCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and captures a snapshot of your browser window .

The following list of collected browser and user data is not intended to be complete . Rather, these are examples of data that, to our knowledge, are processed by Google.

• Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor comes)

• IP address (e.g. 256.123.123.1)

• Information about the operating system (the software that enables your computer to operate . Well-known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux)

• Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)

• perform with the mouse or keyboard is saved)

• Date and language settings (which language or date you have preset on your PC will be saved)

• All JavaScript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all kinds of data under one name)

• Screen resolution ( shows how many pixels the image consists of)

It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click on the “ I am not a robot ” checkbox . With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, even the ticking is no longer necessary and the entire recognition process runs in the background. Google does not tell you in detail how much and what data Google stores .

• The following cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: Here we refer to the reCAPTCHA demo version from Google at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo .

• How long and where is the data stored?

• By inserting reCAPTCHA , your data will be transferred to the Google server . Google does not make it clear where exactly this data is stored, even after repeated inquiries. Without having received confirmation from Google, it can be assumed that data such as mouse interaction, time spent on the website or language settings are stored on the European ones or American Google servers. The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services . However, if you are logged into your Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in, the data will be merged . The different data protection regulations of Google apply to this .

• How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

• If you do not want any data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google , you must log out of Google completely and remove all Google cookies before you visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software öschen .
