13.11.1 Scope of processing of personal data

Our website uses the "Friendly Captcha" service (Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany, www.friendlycaptcha.com). Friendly Captcha is a privacy-friendly protection solution that makes it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called "bots") to use our website. To this end, we have integrated Friendly Captcha's programming code into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the visitor's end device can establish a connection to Friendly Captcha's servers in order to receive a computational task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor's end device solves a computational task (puzzle) that takes up some system resources, and sends the result of the computation to our web server. The server connects to the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response indicating whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the result, we may apply security rules to requests through our web site, thereby, for example, processing or rejecting them.

Friendly Captcha processes and stores the following data in the above process:

o The anonymized IP address of the requesting computer.

o Information about the browser and operating system used.

o An anonymous counter per IP address to control cryptographic tasks.

o The website from which the access was made

13.11.2 Purpose of data processing

The data is used exclusively for the protection against spam and bots described above. No cookies are set or read on the visitor's terminal device by Friendly Captcha. IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us and Friendly Captcha to draw any conclusions about an individual person.

13.11.3 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interests in protecting our website from abuse by robots, i.e. protection against spam and protection against attacks (e.g. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR.

If personal data is collected, it will be deleted after 30 days at the latest. Further information on data protection when using Friendly Captcha can be found at: https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/.
