Demographic parameters provided by Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics, to be able to display to the website visitor compatible ads within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of the website visitors. The sources of this information are interest-related advertising by Google as well as visitor data obtained from third-party providers. This data cannot be allocated to a specific individual. You have the option to deactivate this function at any time by making pertinent settings changes for advertising in your Google account or you can generally prohibit the recording of your data by Google Analytics as explained in section “Objection to the recording of data”.
Archiving period

11. HCAPTCHA
We use the service hCaptcha from Intuition Machines, Inc, a US company based in Delaware (“IMI”), in our contact form. hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered in forms was entered by a human or by a bot. To do this, hCaptcha analyses your behavior on the website or on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as you reach a part of the website or app with activated hCaptcha. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the visitor on the website or app or mouse movements of the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. The hCaptcha analysis in “invisible mode” can take place entirely in the background. Website or app visitors are not made aware that such analysis is taking place if no challenge is displayed to the user. The data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the DSGVO: The website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a “data processor” acting on behalf of its customers, as defined in the GDPR, and as a “service provider” within the meaning of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and it‘s privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: https://hcaptcha.com/privacy/ and https://hcaptcha.com/terms .
