Google reCaptcha
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Inc. with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.A. (“Google”). reCAPTCHA’s purpose is to determine whether data entered on our website (e.g., information entered in a contact form) is provided by a human user or an automated program. To determine this, reCAPTCHA analyzes site visitor behavior based on a variety of parameters. This analysis is triggered automatically as soon as the site visitor enters the site. For this analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates a variety of data (e.g. IP address, the time the site visitor has spent on the site, or user-initiated cursor movements). Data tracked during these analyses is sent to Google. reCAPTCHA analytics run entirely in the background. Site visitors are not warned that an analysis is running. Data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

Having regard to its judgment of July 16, 2020 (Case C-311/18 – Data Protection Commissioner v Facebook Ireland Limited, Maximillian Schrems), the European Court of Justice ruled that the protection afforded by the EU-US Privacy Shield is not adequate.
Therefore, the transmission of personal data to the US and other countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA) is based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC). The Commission has issued two sets of Standard Contractual Clauses for data transfers from EU data controllers to data controllers established outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA). It has also issued one set of contractual clauses for data transfers from EU data controllers to processors established outside the EU or the EEA. For more information on these clauses, we recommend that you visit https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_ro.
Google reCatpcha uses Standard Contractual Clauses as adequate data protection safeguards in line with the level of protection guaranteed by the GDPR.
