Collection of Data through our website

You can use the GREENLand website without disclosing your personal data. You are not required to provide personal information as a condition of using our site, except as may be necessary to provide you with a service at your request. When you use this website, data may be stored for various security purposes. This data may include the name of your internet service provider, the website that you used to link to our site, the websites that you visit from our site and your IP address. This data could lead to your identification, but we do not use it to do so. We do not use the data for statistical purposes or maintain the anonymity of each user so that the person cannot be identified. In cases when personal data is provided to others to provide you with products or services you have requested, or for other purposes, we rely on technical and organisational means to ensure that applicable data security regulations are followed.

This website may contain hyperlinks or “links,” to and from other Internet sites. These sites may have different privacy practices compared to our website. These links also do not imply an affiliation between GREENLand and the site owner, or any endorsement, approval or verification of any content contained on other websites.

Collection and Processing of Personal Data

The personal data you enter on the GREENLand website are not allowed to be used by any third party, except as provided by the law and this Policy. The GREENLand website does not collect and process information that is considered purely personal data or other information that is not considered as such. The GREENLand website does not collect or process sensitive personal data, namely, data related to a user’s health, sex life, sexual orientation, genetic or biometric data, or data revealing one’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs or membership in a trade union. When you use the GREENLAND website, we may collect information you provide voluntarily and on your initiative, including your email address.

The personal data (simple and not sensitive) we may eventually collect will be automatically anonymized or at least pseudonymised and encrypted. The personal information we collect will be only used for the defined, explicit, and legitimate purposes explained to you and will not be further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. We limit the collection to only that information that is appropriate, relevant and necessary for the purposes explained to you. If not required by law, we will not obtain your consent before collecting your data from third parties. Instead, it will be deemed that you have previously given such consent to any third party from whom the GREENLand website receives such information.

The GREENLand project does not use third-party solutions to conduct web analytics, such as Google Site Kit, Google Analytics or other website traffic tracking or analytics tools. Concerning Ad Servers: We do not partner with or have special relationships with any ad server companies. No personal information is collected. Confidentiality is our priority. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality with all of the information we receive from our customers.

Personal Data while you Connect with Social Media through our website

Certain GREENLand website areas may link with social networking platforms using social networking plug-ins (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Linkedin, YouTube) (collectively, “Social Media”). When accessing our website through a Social Media account, GREENLand may (depending on the applicable user privacy settings) automatically have access to information provided to or through the Social Media platform. GREENLand will not use this information to contact you for specific dissemination or other purposes.

Security of personal information

We do not share your personal data with others except as described in this Personal Data Protection Policy. The GREENLand website addresses the issue of protecting your anonymity and personal information very seriously. We protect your data and, in general, the information we receive about you, and we guarantee their confidentiality, integrity and availability using appropriate security measures, according to the most up-to-date and advanced technological methods. These measures include technical and procedural steps to protect your data from misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure, loss, alteration or destruction.

Use of Cookies

The GREENLand website uses “cookies” to personalize your online experience. “A cookie is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on your computer by the user’s web browser. When you request another page from the server, your browser sends the cookie back to the server.” One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you might not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the GREENLand website.

Subscription to our Newsletter

On the website, users may, at some point, be allowed to subscribe to our eNewsletters. The input mask that will be used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

GREENLand can inform its stakeholders regularly using an eNewsletter form about its activities. The eNewsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for an eNewsletter subscription, for legal reasons, in the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

Usage of contact details

By signing up for the eNewsletter on the GREENLand website you consent to receive an occasional email from GREENLand and partners. We will not sell or distribute email addresses to any third party at any time.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the eNewsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the eNewsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by communicating this to the controller e.g. by phone. 

eNewsletter-Tracking

The eNewsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of digital marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the GREENLand may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller to optimize the distribution of the newsletters, as well as to adapt the content of future eNewsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued through the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The GREENLand automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

Children’s Privacy

GREENLand does not address anyone under the age of 18 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child/ren has/have provided us with Personal Data please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.
