5. Analysis tools & Google Services

a) Use of reCAPTCHA

To protect input forms on our site, we use the service “reCAPTCHA“ from the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google“. By using this service, it is possible to distinguish whether the input is of human origin or misused by automated machine processing.

According to our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP-address, the behaviour of the website visitors, information about the operating system, the browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the input behaviour of the user as well as mouse movements in the area of the “reCAPTCHA“ checkbox are transmitted to “Google“.

Google uses the obtained information to digitalize books and other print products as well as to optimize services such as Google Street Views and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).

The IP-address that is transmitted within the “reCAPTCHA“ is not merged with other data of Google except if you are logged in to your Google account at the moment of the use of the “reCAPTCHA“ plug-in. If you do not want the transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by “Google“, you have to log out of “Google“ before you open our website or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in.

c) Google fonts

In order to be able to display our contents correctly and graphically appealing on all kinds of browsers, we use script and writing libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts are transferred into the cache of your browser in order to avoid multiple loading. In case that the browser does not support the Google Webfonts or stops the access, the contents are displayed in the standard font.

The activation of script libraries automatically initiates a connection to the operator of the library. During this procedure it is theoretically possible – although at the moment not clear whether and potentially to which purposes – that the operator of these libraries collects data.
