**9. integration of Google reCaptcha**
%LBr%
To protect their orders via Internet form uses the service reCAPTCHA of the company Google Inc. (Google). Google LLC, headquartered in the USA, is certified for the us European Privacy Shield Agreement, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
%LBr%
The query serves to differentiate whether the input is made by a human being or whether it is misused by automated, mechanical processing.
%LBr%
The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. By using reCaptcha, you agree that the recognition you provide will be incorporated into the digitisation of old works. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and truncated by Google on servers in the United States. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha is not merged with other data from Google. These data are subject to the differing data protection regulations of Google. You can find more information about Google's privacy policy at :
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
%LBr%
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
%LBr%
We use Google's services to distinguish between input by a natural person and misuse by automatic and automated processing. This is also our legitimate interest, which outweighs your interests as a user.

%LBr%
We may include third-party content on our website, such as Google Maps and Apple Maps maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites/providers.

Therefore, when you visit our website, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective third party provider. Your browser is automatically prompted by the content embedded on our site to download a representation of the third party's component. As part of this technical process, the third party provider obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website you are visiting. Unfortunately, we have no influence on whether the third party provider collects or stores the IP address for other purposes than simply displaying the content. If we become aware of such use, we will inform you about it in this data protection declaration.

**14. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data**
%LBr%
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis. In the event that your vital interests or the vital interests of another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh the former, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
