ReCAPTCHA
Purpose and legal basis
We use Google’s reCAPTCHA service. With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source code, which loads the software in the background and analyzes your user behavior. The data is already used and analyzed before you have checked the box “I am not a robot”. Google calculates a score based on the data, which on the one hand serves to understand whether the visitor is a human or whether the entries are abusively made by automated, machine processing (e.g. bots). On the other hand, it also serves to prevent fraudulent mass registrations or Feedbacks, which can lead to risks in the association’s infrastructure. ReCAPTCHA also provides protection for our customers from becoming potential victims of cyber-crime.
legal basis
The legal basis for this processing is therefore our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Type of data
- Previous websites (referrer URL)
- IP address
- operating system
