User Data From Contact Forms

reCAPTCHA
To protect ourselves from malicious requests on our contact page, we use Google’s reCAPTCHA service. The service’s purpose is to determine if the request is sent by a customer or an automated machine. The service includes the submission of the IP-address and possibly additional data required by Google to make the decision. For this purpose, the input of the customer is sent to Google and processed there. Howeber, the IP-addresses of our customers are shorted inside the EU and further states that are part of the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases, the full IP-address is submitted to Google in the US and shorted there. In our assignment, Google uses this information to evaluate the customer-usage of this service. The IP-address transmitted by Google Analytics from the customer’s computer is not merged with other data of Google. For this data, the policy of Google is applicable. Further information about the privacy policy of Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
