device used, the website that you visit with us and on which the
captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the

mouse movements and possibly other technical data. In addition,
Google sets cookies on your device. We do not gain any knowledge
of the data collected and processed by Google. The legal basis
for the data processing described above is Art. 6 para. 1 lit.
