6. Plugins and Tools
hCaptcha
We use hCaptcha (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., 2211 Selig Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90026, USA (hereinafter "IMI").
hCaptcha is used to verify whether the data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is performed by a human or an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics.
This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters a website with hCaptcha enabled. To analyze, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of the website visitor's stay on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. If hCaptcha is used in "invisible mode," the analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
The storage and analysis of data are based on Article 6, Paragraph 1, lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from misuse by automated scraping and spam. If consent has been requested, the processing is solely based on Article 6, Paragraph 1, lit. a of the GDPR and Section 25, Paragraph 1 TDDG, to the extent that consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The data processing is based on Standard Contractual Clauses, which are included in the data processing addendum to IMI's General Terms and Conditions or the data processing agreements.
