4. Security Techniques (Cloudflare Turnstile)

To protect our website against abuse (e.g., spam bots during account creation or form submissions), we use the service “Cloudflare Turnstile” provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

• How it works: Cloudflare Turnstile analyzes technical signals from the device and browser (including IP address, TLS fingerprint, user agent information, and, where applicable, mouse movements and dwell time) to determine whether an action originates from a human or an automated program. Unlike classic captchas, Turnstile generally does not require active user interaction.
• Data processing: The data collected for this analysis is transmitted to and processed on Cloudflare’s servers. Cloudflare states that it cannot directly identify individuals from these signals.
• Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the security and functional operation of our website) or your consent, where such consent has been obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• Third-country transfer: As Cloudflare is headquartered in the USA, personal data (in particular the IP address) may be transferred to the USA as part of this processing. To safeguard this transfer, Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission have been agreed with Cloudflare.
