Use of reCAPTCHA
In order to protect input forms on our site, we use the service "reCAPTCHA" of the company Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter "Google". The use of this service makes it possible to distinguish whether the corresponding input is of human origin or whether it is misused by automated machine processing.
To our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP address, the behaviour of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the user's input behaviour and mouse movements in the "reCAPTCHA" checkbox area are transmitted to "Google".
Google uses the information obtained in this way to digitise books and other printed matter and to optimise services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).
The IP address transmitted as part of "reCAPTCHA" is not merged with other data from Google unless you are logged into your Google account at the time of using the "reCAPTCHA" plug-in. If you wish to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by "Google", you must log out of "Google" before you visit our site or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in.
The use of the service "reCAPTCHA" obtained information is in accordance with the Google Terms of Use: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Use of facebook components
We use components of the provider facebook.com on our page. Facebook is a service of facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
Whenever you visit our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from facebook. Through this process, facebook is informed about which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.
If you call up our page and are logged on to facebook during this time, facebook recognizes which specific page you are visiting through the information collected by the component and assigns this information to your personal account on facebook. For example, if you click on the "Like" button or make corresponding comments, this information is transmitted to your personal user account on facebook and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our site is passed on to facebook. This happens regardless of whether you click on the component or not.
If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by facebook, you must log out of facebook before you visit our site. The privacy policy of facebook provides more detailed information on this, in particular on the collection and use of data by facebook, your rights in this regard and the settings options for protecting your privacy: de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Use of the Twitter recommendation components
We use components of the provider Twitter on our site. Twitter is a service of Twitter Inc, 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.
Each time you visit our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding display of the component from Twitter. This process informs Twitter which specific page of our website is currently being visited.
We have no influence on the data that Twitter collects as a result, nor on the scope of this data collected by Twitter. To the best of our knowledge, Twitter collects the URL of the respective website visited as well as the IP address of the user, but does not use it for any other purpose than to display the Twitter component. Further information on this can be found in the Twitter privacy policy at twitter.com/privacy.
