Our website uses the “Friendly Captcha” service provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany. Friendly Captcha is an innovative, privacy-friendly security solution designed to make it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called “bots”) to use our website. To this end, we have integrated Friendly Captcha program code into our website—for example, in contact forms—so that the visitor’s device can establish a connection to Friendly Captcha’s servers to receive a computational task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor’s device solves the computational task—which consumes certain system resources—and sends the result to our web server. Our server contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response indicating whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the device. Depending on the result, we can apply security rules to requests made through our website and, for example, process them further or reject them.
The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive access by bots, including spam protection and protection against attacks such as mass requests, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR

This website uses the DeepL service to translate website content on e-mobilbw.de. DeepL is a translation service provided by DeepL SE, Maarweg 165, 50825 Cologne (hereinafter “DeepL”).
