You are neither legally nor contractually obligated to provide your personal data. If you do not provide your personal data, this will have no effect.

d) Mapbox

On our website, we use the Mapbox API of Mapbox Inc, 740 15th Street NW 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, USA (hereinafter "Mapbox"). Mapbox is an online mapping tool that is accessed via an interface (API). We used the Mapbox API to display the interactive maps. In the process, the following personal data is processed:

• commercial information: application ID, Mapbox customer's ac-count ID, Mapbox product name / version;
• internet or other electronic network activity: Timestamp of data elements received and the fact that an end user leaves a particular navigation route or uses an alternative navigation route;

• connectivity and device data: Device model and browser information, operating system, and content of an API or SDK request.

By using this tool, among other things, your IP address is transmitted to Mapbox. The collected data is stored and processed on servers of the Mapbox company. For security reasons, your IP address is stored for 30 days and then deleted. Randomly generated IDs (no personal data) that analyze the use of the APIs are deleted after 36 months.

The use is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring the best possible online presence. If a corresponding consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG (germand law: Data Protection and Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia Act), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) as defined by the TTDSG.

This serves primarily to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The following information is processed:

If personal data is collected, it will be deleted after 30 days at the latest. Friendly Captcha does not set or read any cookies on the end device of the visitor. The data is used exclusively to protect against spam and bots as described above.

Your data will be deleted immediately after the purpose has been achieved. For more information on the use of Friendly Captcha and the retention periods, please visit friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/.
