We
are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection
is of a particularly high priority for the management of the climatepolicy.net e.V.. The
use of the Internet pages of the climatepolicy.net e.V.
is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject
wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of
personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is
necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally
obtain consent from the data subject.
The
processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or
telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific
data protection regulations applicable to the climatepolicy.net e.V.. By
means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform
the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we
collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of
this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As
the controller, the climatepolicy.net e.V. has
implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However,
Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject
is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by
telephone.
1.
Definitions
The
data protection declaration of the climatepolicy.net e.V.
is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should
be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers
and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the
terminology used.
In
this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal
data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural
person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be
identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier
such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier
or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic,
mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data
subject
Data
subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data
is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing
is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on
sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection,
recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration,
retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or
otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or
destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction
of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting
their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling
means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use
of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural
person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural
person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences,
interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation
is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can
no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of
additional information, provided that such additional information is kept
separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure
that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable
natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for
the processing
Controller
or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person,
public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others,
determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the
purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State
law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided
for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor
is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i)
Recipient
Recipient
is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to
which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However,
public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as
recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules
according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third
party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than
the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct
authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal
data.
k) Consent
Consent
of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous
indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or
by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of
personal data relating to him or her.

Cookies
The
Internet pages of the climatepolicy.net e.V. use
cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser.
Many
Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie
ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a
character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to
the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows
visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of
the dats subject from other Internet browsers that
contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and
identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through
the use of cookies, the climatepolicy.net e.V. can
provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would
not be possible without the cookie setting.
By
means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized
with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize
our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for
users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not
have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is
taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer
system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The
online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual
shopping cart via a cookie.
The
data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and
may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set
cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject
deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all
functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4.
Collection of general data and information
The
website of the climatepolicy.net e.V. collects a
series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system
calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the
server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2)
the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which
an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the
sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of
the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may
be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When
using these general data and information, the climatepolicy.net e.V. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website
correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology
systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities
with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a
cyber-attack. Therefore, the climatepolicy.net e.V. analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security
of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the
personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored
separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
As
climatepolicy.net e.V. does not maintain web servers,
these general data and information are stored on the servers of the following
partner:
netclusive GmbH
Robert-Bosch-Str. 10, Haus I
56410 Montabaur
Germany
5.
Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The
data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject
only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as
this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or
regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If
the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the
European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data
are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
6.
Rights of the data subject
a)
Right of confirmation
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain

personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international
organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to
be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If
a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may,
at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
c)
Right to rectification
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate
personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account
the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have
incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a
supplementary statement.
If
a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may,
at any time, contact any employee of the controller.
d)
Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without
undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal
data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as
the processing is not necessary:
The
personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which
they were collected or otherwise processed.
The
data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to
point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the
GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The
data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR
and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data
subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The
personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The
personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or
Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The
personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information
society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If
one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request
the erasure of personal data stored by the climatepolicy.net e.V., he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of
the controller. An employee of climatepolicy.net e.V.
shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where
the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article
17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available
technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps,
including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the
personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers
of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as
processing is not required. An employees of the
climatepolicy.net e.V. will arrange the necessary
measures in individual cases.
e)
Right of restriction of processing
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain
from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following
applies:
The
accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period
enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The
processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes
the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their
use instead.
The
controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the
processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.
The
data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR
pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller
override those of the data subject.
If
one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to
request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the
climatepolicy.net e.V., he or she may at any time
contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the climatepolicy.net e.V. will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f)
Right to data portability
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to
receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a
controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or
she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as
long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract
pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is
carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for
the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise
of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore,
in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of
the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data
transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible
and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time
contact any employee of the climatepolicy.net e.V..
g)
Right to object
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object,
on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to
processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e)
or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on
these provisions.
The
climatepolicy.net e.V. shall no longer process the
personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate
compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests,
rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
If
the climatepolicy.net e.V. processes personal data
for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object
at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such
marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such
direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the climatepolicy.net e.V. to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the
climatepolicy.net e.V. will no longer process the
personal data for these purposes.
In
addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her
particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him
or her by the climatepolicy.net e.V. for scientific
or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to
Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the
performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In
order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee
of the climatepolicy.net e.V.. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of
the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive
2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using
technical specifications.
h)
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be
subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including
profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly
significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is
necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data
subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member
State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable
measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate
interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If
the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a
contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on
the data subject's explicit consent, the climatepolicy.net e.V.
shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and
freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human
intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view
and contest the decision.
If
the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual
decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
climatepolicy.net e.V..
i) Right to withdraw data protection
consent
Each
data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to
withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any
time.

7.
Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics
(with anonymization function)
On
this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics
(with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service.
Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service
collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the
so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what
duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the
optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of
Internet advertising.
The
operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre
Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For
the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application
"_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means of this application
the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by
Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the
European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European
Economic Area.
The
purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze
the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information,
inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports,
which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services
concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google
Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data
subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the
cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics
component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of
commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, the
enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP
address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the
origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The
cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the
location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our
website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such
personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data
subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These
personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may
pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third
parties.
The
data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our
website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser
used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to
the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition,
cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web
browser or other software programs.
In
addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of
data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of
this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance
to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a
browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and
install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript,
that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be
transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is
considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the
data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject
must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser
add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is
attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to
execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further
information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be
retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further
explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
8.
Legal basis for the processing
Art.
6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which
we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of
personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data
subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are
necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual
measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or
services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of
personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment
of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be
necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another
natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured
in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital
information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third
party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal
basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the
abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of
the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except
where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been
specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a
legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the
controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where
the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our
legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor
of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
10.
Period for which the personal data will be stored
The
criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the
respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the
corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary
for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation
of a contract.
11.
Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement
necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide
the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We
clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax
regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information
on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a
contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must
subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to
provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or
her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the
contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided
by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee
clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is
required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract,
whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
12.
Existence of automated decision-making
As
a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
