Data protection

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data that can be used to personally identify you. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our privacy policy listed below this text.

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the section “Information on the Responsible Entity” in this privacy policy.

Your data is collected, firstly, when you provide it to us. This may include data that you enter into a questionnaire, contact form, or other input fields.

Other data is collected automatically or after you have given your consent when you visit the website through our IT systems. This primarily includes technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

Some of the data is collected to ensure the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For this and any other questions regarding data protection, you may contact us at any time.

When visiting this website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done using analytics programs.

Detailed information about these analytics programs can be found in the following privacy policy.

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. This may primarily include IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website access data, and other data generated via a website.

The host is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and in the interest of secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.

We use the following host:

netcup GmbH
Daimlerstraße 25
D-76185 Karlsruhe

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a legally required contract that ensures the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The entity responsible for data processing on this website is:

greenventory GmbH

Georges-Köhler-Allee 302

79110 Freiburg im Breisgau

Phone: +49 (0)761 7699 4160

Email: info@greenventory.de

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that are not considered secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21(2) GDPR).

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either to yourself or to a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions on the subject of personal data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually require time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If processing has been restricted, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for important public interest reasons of the EU or a Member State.
