Google reCaptcha

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our Website. With reCAPTCHA we can tell whether it is a person or a computer that makes certain entries in our contact forms or newsletters. With reCAPTCHA we will counteract the increase in automated logins in user accounts and newsletters. At present, reCAPTCHA is the best protection against such attacks (from bots).

As soon as you enter the website, reCAPTCHA analyses your interactions through the following characteristics:

  • IP address of the terminal device used.
  • Date and time spent on the website.
  • Mouse movements on reCAPTCHA surfaces and tasks requiring image identification.
  • Data identifying the browser and the type of operating system used.
  • Google account, if you are logged in to Google.

The data collected during the analysis is sent to Google. According to Google’s statements, Google does not use the information collected by reCAPTCHA for personalised advertising.

Google Maps

Our website also uses the Google Maps service. Thanks to this service we can show you an interactive map with our location directly on the website, allowing easy use of the maps function.

As soon as you click on our address when browsing the embedded map on our website, Google Maps will open in a new tab. Please note that you are subject to the Other Terms and Conditions of Use of Google Maps / Google Earth, including the Google Data Protection Declaration, if you use Google Maps.
