Privacy policy

1. Data protection at a glance

General notes

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Data collection on this website

Who is responsible for the data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. Their contact details can be found in the „Notice regarding the controller“ section of this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

Your data is collected, on the one hand, by you providing it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form. Other data is recorded automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of the page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. Where contracts can be concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data is also processed for contract offers, orders or other order enquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain free information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of data protection.

2. Analytics tools and advertising

When visiting this website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done using so-called analysis programs. Detailed information on these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). Integration is carried out via the WordPress plug-in „[insert Site Kit by Google/Monsterinsights]“. This includes, for example, the number of views of our online offering, subpages visited and the duration of visitors' stays. Google Analytics uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behaviour and recognise users. This information is used, among other things, to compile reports on website activity. Google Analytics enables us to analyse and statistically evaluate the behaviour of website visitors. Among other things, the following data is processed in the process:
  • pages viewed
  • Length of stay
  • clickpaths
  • technical information about the terminal device used (e.g. browser, operating system, screen resolution)
  • approximate location data (region/country)
  • Referrer URL
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to recognise users.

Legal basis

Processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future (e.g. via the consent tool used on this website).

IP anonymisation

In Google Analytics 4, IP anonymisation is enabled by default. Your IP address will be truncated within the European Union or the European Economic Area before being processed further.

Transfer of data to third countries

A transfer of personal data to the USA cannot be ruled out. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The data transfer is therefore based on the European Commission's adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR. In addition, standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR have been concluded with Google. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Retention period

The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be deleted after 14 months automatically deleted (setting in our Google Analytics account).

Google Tag Manager

Nature and scope of processing

We use the Google Tag Manager provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface and enables us to control the precise integration of services on our website. This allows us to integrate additional services flexibly in order to evaluate users' access to our website.

Purpose and legal basis

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG. We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the USA. In cases where there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission (e.g. in the USA), we have agreed other suitable safeguards with the recipients of the data within the meaning of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. Unless otherwise stated, these are standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission in accordance with Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of 4 June 2021. You can request a copy of these standard contractual clauses at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE. Furthermore, prior to any such third-country transfer, we obtain your consent pursuant to Article 49(1)(1)(a) GDPR, which you grant via the consent in the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). We would like to point out that in the case of third-country transfers, there may be risks that are unknown in detail (e.g. data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact scope and consequences of which for you we do not know, over which we have no influence and of which you may not become aware).

Retention period

The exact storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google Tag Manager: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.

3. Hosting

We host the content of our website with the following provider:

External hosting

This website is hosted externally. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host's or hosts' servers. This may include, in particular, IP addresses, contact enquiries, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access data and other data generated via a website. External hosting is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. Our host(s) will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil their performance obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data. We use the following host(s): Cloud56 IT56 GmbH Bendorfer Straße 28 56191 Weitersburg

Data processing on behalf of a controller

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a data protection-mandated contract which ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

4. General notes and mandatory information

Privacy policy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. We would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note on the responsible party

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is: Hotel 41 GmbH Emil-Schüller-Str. 41 – 43 56068 Koblenz Germany Telephone: 0261 30140 E-mail: info@hohenstaufen.de The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses or similar).

Retention period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

Provided you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, provided special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your terminal equipment (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each individual case are informed about in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external organisations. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external organisations. We only disclose personal data to external organisations where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. the transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). WHERE PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place where it is technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

You have the right at any time, in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions, to free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing exercise must be carried out between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests override the other, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Where you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails

The use of contact data published in the context of imprint obligations for sending unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, such as spam emails.

5. Data collection on this website

Biscuits

Our website uses what are known as „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain third-party services to be integrated into websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide specific functions you have requested (e.g. the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies used to measure website traffic) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically fault-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been sought for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time. You can configure your browser so that you are notified when cookies are set and can allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited. If any further cookies or services are used on this website, you will find details in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in what are known as server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
  • Browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Server request time
  • IP address
These data will not be merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiry by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on these data without your consent. These data are processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data sent by you to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that enables us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the purpose of sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. The processing of the data entered in the newsletter subscription form is carried out solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the „Unsubscribe“ link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal. The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list once you have unsubscribed or once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter mailing list, your email address may be stored on our end or by the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used solely for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). There is no time limit on the storage of data on the blacklist. You can object to the storage provided your interests override our legitimate interest.

Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)

We use Brevo, a service provided by Brevo SAS, 106 Boulevard Haussmann, 75008 Paris, France. Brevo is used for sending emails, communicating with customers and managing contact data. If you contact us via a form, subscribe to a newsletter, or receive emails from us in the context of a booking or the purchase of a voucher, the personal data required for this purpose may be processed via Brevo. Depending on the type of processing in question, this processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent), Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Brevo.

7. Processing customer and contract data

We collect, process and use personal data insofar as this is necessary for the establishment, implementation or termination of a contractual relationship. This includes, in particular, name, address, e-mail address, telephone number as well as booking and contract data. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and only to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data transmission upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

Contracts for hotel services and the purchase of digital vouchers can be concluded on our website. For the processing of contracts, we only transfer personal data to third parties to the extent necessary for the performance of the contract. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

8. Plugins and tools

Google Fonts (local hosting)

This page uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. A connection to Google's servers does not take place in the process. Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Maps

This page uses the mapping service Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows us to integrate map material on our website. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this page has no influence on this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform font display. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy findability of the places indicated by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal equipment (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/. More information on user data handling can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de. The company is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information on this from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use „Google reCAPTCHA“ (hereinafter „reCAPTCHA“) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether data is being entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) by a human or by an automated programme. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the website visitor’s behaviour based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the purposes of the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, the length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or the mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. In this context, Google acts solely as a data processor within the meaning of Article 28 of the GDPR and will not use the data collected in this way for its own purposes. Use of the tool is based on a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Google. The storage and analysis of the data are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from malicious automated scraping and from spam. Where consent has been sought, processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. The company holds certification under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when data is processed in the USA. Every organisation certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this is available from the provider via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

hCaptcha

We use hCaptcha (hereinafter „hCaptcha“) on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., 2211 Selig Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90026, USA (hereinafter „IMI“). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, hCaptcha analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters a website with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, length of time the website visitor stays on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. If hCaptcha is used in „invisible mode“, the analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not explicitly advised that an analysis is taking place. The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scraping and from SPAM. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Data processing is based on standard contractual clauses, which are contained in the data processing addendum to IMI's terms and conditions or the data processing agreements. Further information on hCaptcha can be found in the privacy policy and terms of use at the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://hcaptcha.com/terms. The company is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information on this from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/6388.
