Use of Google invisible reCAPTCHA
We use the invisible reCAPTCHA service from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.
This serves the purpose of distinguishing between input by a human or by automated, machine processing. In the background, Google collects and analyzes usage data that Invisible reCaptcha uses to distinguish regular users from bots. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. Additionally, the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the Invisible reCAPTCHA service are transferred to Google.
This data is processed by Google within the European Union and may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC in the USA. An adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and thus committed to comply with European data protection principles.

The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 liter a GDPR.
