Spam Protection with Google reCAPTCHA
We have implemented Google reCAPTCHA on forms on our website to verify whether the data entered in the forms comes from human visitors or from machines or automated programs, also known as "bots". This tool automatically analyzes the behavior of website visitors as soon as they interact with the website, using various information such as IP address, duration of visit and mouse movements. The data processed includes usage data such as the website accessed, date and time of access and mouse movements, as well as communication data such as IP addresses, browser type and operating system. This processing is targeted at website visitors and users of online services. The main purpose of this processing is to prevent misuse of our contact form, thus improving security. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The recipients of the data include Google Ireland Ltd, based at Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland, (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and our website hosting provider. As long as your personal data is processed within the EU, the retention time for the processed data is determined by Google Ireland Limited.

Website Analytics (Jimdo Statistics)
When you visit our website, we collect information about your usage through a web analytics tool provided by our hosting service. This tool collects and combines your IP address and user agent, shortens them and stores this data using a hash function. This process creates an encrypted visitor ID with a randomly generated value (SALT) that changes every 24 hours. This method ensures that your IP address cannot be reconstructed from the stored visitor ID, thus maintaining your anonymity. Furthermore, we do not merge this information with any other data and it is only stored on the hosting provider's server. We also process web analytics data, HTTP data and web analytics profile data. The web analytics tool we use creates and stores a web analytics profile, which includes details about your use of the website, such as pages viewed, frequency of visits, time spent on each page and the user agent on your device. This includes usage data (such as web pages visited and access times) and communication data (such as browser type, operating system and IP addresses). Our purpose in processing this data is to analyze user behavior in aggregate form in order to improve the presentation and content of our website. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR), in particular to perform web measurements in order to improve our products and our website. The collected data is shared with our web hosting provider and processed within the EU.
