hCaptcha

We use the security service hCaptcha (hereinafter referred to as "hCaptcha") on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a US company based in Delaware ("IMI"). hCaptcha is used to check whether user actions on our online service (such as submitting a registration or contact form) meet our security requirements. For this purpose, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the visitor to the website or mobile app based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha activated. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. the IP address, the time the visitor spends on the website or app or the user's mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. The hCaptcha analysis in "invisible mode" can take place completely in the background. Website or app visitors are not informed that such an analysis is taking place if no challenge is displayed to the user. Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR: The processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the website visitor is party (e.g. the website terms and conditions) or in order to take steps at the request of the website visitor prior to entering into a contract. Our online service (including our website, our mobile apps and other apps we offer or other forms of access) must ensure that it interacts with a human and not a bot and that the activities carried out by the user are not related to fraud or abuse. In addition, processing may also be based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR: Our online service has a legitimate interest in protecting the service from abusive automated crawling, spam and other forms of abuse that may harm our service or other users of our service. IMI acts as a "data processor" acting on behalf of its customers within the meaning of the GDPR and as a "service provider" within the meaning of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
