3. Contact
Personal data is collected when contact is made with us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail or telephone). The data collected via a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. This data will only be stored and used for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) UK-GDPR. If you contact us with the intent to conclude a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) UK-GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your request has been processed. This is the case if circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and if no statutory retention obligations stand in the way.
3.1 ReCaptcha:
We use the Google ReCaptcha function of the provider Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website in order to prevent misuse of the content we offer. This system helps us to identify whether the user is an actual person or an Internet bot. This helps us prevent the automatic use of our contact forms and the sending of spam messages to our presented e-mail account.
When the Google ReCaptcha function is used, cookies are set that can store different data, such as IP address, referrer URL, information about the operating system, mouse movements, keystrokes, dwell time or settings on the user's device. This information is saved and passed on to Google. It cannot be ruled out that the data will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. We have no influence on data transfer.
There is no adequacy decision or other suitable guarantees that ensure an adequate level of data protection for the USA. If the data is transferred to the USA, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes without you being entitled to legal remedies.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data at Google ReCaptcha is your voluntary consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(1)(a) UK-GDPR. At the same time, you also consent to your data being transmitted to the USA in accordance with Art. 49(1)(1)(a) UK-GDPR.
Your consent is voluntary and can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. To do so, change your cookie settings under “Privacy settings” under the section Google ReCaptcha.
We process your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve its purpose. If you withdraw your consent by making changes to your settings under "Privacy settings", we will delete your data, unless statutory retention obligations prevent us from doing so.
