We collect and process your personal data solely for the purpose of reviewing and handling reports of allegedly illegal content in accordance with Art. 16 of the EU Regulation 2022/2065 (Digital Services Act - DSA).
When submitting a report, we may collect the following information, depending on what you provide:
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (legal obligation under the DSA) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling and documenting illegal content reports).
Your data will be stored for up to 6 years unless longer legal retention periods apply. Earlier deletion will occur if the data is no longer needed for processing purposes.
The collected data will only be processed internally and will not be shared with third parties unless legally required or mandated by authorities.
To protect our website forms from automated abuse and spam (e.g., bots), we use Cloudflare Turnstile, a privacy-focused security service provided by Cloudflare, Inc. When you interact with a form on our website, Turnstile performs a non-interactive challenge to verify that you are not a bot. This process involves a connection to challenges.cloudflare.com, a third-party service operated by Cloudflare.
Data Processed: Turnstile may process certain technical data, such as your IP address and browser information, to perform the verification. This data is used solely for the purpose of ensuring the security and functionality of our forms and is considered essential for the operation of our website.
Cookies: Cloudflare Turnstile does not set cookies or use tracking technologies for non-essential purposes, such as advertising or analytics.
Legal Basis: The use of Turnstile is based on our legitimate interest in protecting our website from automated abuse, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As an essential service, it does not require user consent under the EU ePrivacy Directive or Germany’s TTDSG.
Data Transfers: As Cloudflare is a U.S.-based company, data processed by Turnstile may be transferred to the United States. Cloudflare complies with GDPR through a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to ensure adequate protection of your data.
