The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Your IP address, information about your browser and device and your interaction with the website are transmitted to Cloudflare and evaluated there. Turnstile does not set advertising cookies and does not build cross-site user profiles.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: we have a legitimate interest in protecting our forms from automated requests and spam. The transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.
