WHAT WILL BE COLLECTED ABOUT ME IN THE PLANT-FOR-THE-PLANET PORTAL?

We collect two types of information: personal data and anonymous data.

Personal Data

Personal data are personal and factual information that reveal your identity or can be used to identify or contact you; for the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal data also include personal and factual information that reveal the identity of a child for whom you are acting as a legal representative according to Data Protection Law or that can be used to identify or contact your child (hereinafter “Personal Data”). Examples of such Personal Data include your name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, date of birth, invoice data, and credit card information. We collect such Personal Data when you register as a user in the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal, when you subscribe to our newsletter, when you make a gift or donation, become a member or sponsor, or complete the contact form for other reasons, when you register for academies and other events, and when you make a purchase in our online shop. In such cases, however, we only collect Personal Data about you and your child when you voluntarily provide this information to us [you have given your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR/§ 51 BDSG] and when this collection of data is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy; we always treat these data confidentially and in accordance with Data Protection Law. We will not transfer your Personal Data for purposes other than those indicated in this Privacy Policy without your explicit consent.

You are not obligated to provide Personal Data to us in order to use the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. However, if you do not provide Personal Data, you may not be able to visit all of the areas of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and may not be able to use all of our online services. In addition, we may not be able to offer you services that build on Personal Data or require us to contact you personally; in particular, we may not be able to provide a homepage that is tailored to your individual needs, and you may not be able to participate in events and other activities via the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal.

Anonymous Data

When you have registered as a user of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal or when you use our online service, we collect statistically relevant information pertaining to the use of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. In principle, we process and use data for statistical purposes separately from your other Personal Data. These data can therefore not be used to identify or contact you. Such data include, for example, demographic information (age, profession, or gender) and other information about you as an individual (“Anonymous Data”). We use Anonymous Data to obtain an overview of the users of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal as well as to improve the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal.

No Collection of Special Categories of Personal Data
We do not collect particularly sensitive categories of data about you as an individual, such as health data, genetic or biometric data, your ethnic background, religious or political convictions, or details about your sexual life, via the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal.

Information from Other Sources

In certain circumstances, we may supplement the data we collect with data from other sources. Such information helps us to evaluate and improve the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and our online service; at the same time, this information helps us to assess our users’ preferences and thus to adapt the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and our online service to your specific needs. We only supplement data for internal purposes; we will not combine such data to create a comprehensive personality profile of you.

WHO OPERATES THIS PORTAL, AND WHERE ARE OUR SERVERS LOCATED?

This portal is operated by the Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation with the following business address: Am Bahnhof 1, 82449 Uffing am Staffelsee, Germany. The Plant-for-the-Planet Foundation is represented by Frithjof Finkbeiner, Chair of the Board of Directors, telephone: 08808 9345, [email protected]. Currently, all of our servers are located in Germany. However, in the future, we may also transfer your data (including your Personal Data) to servers in countries outside of the European Union (EU) and process your data there. Please note that it is possible that not all of these countries have a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU (e.g., the USA). In such a case, we will implement appropriate measures to protect your interests in accordance with Data Protection Law.
Your data will only be stored on our servers for as long as is necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or until you have sent us a justified request to delete your data.

NET PORTAL (INCLUDING BY MEANS OF COOKIES AND ANALYTICS TOOLS)?

We collect your data (including Personal Data) by various means, in different locations, and at various times on the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. The following describes how we collect the majority of information about you:
Registering as a User or for Membership, Sponsorship, a Tree Donation or Other Donation, and for the Tree Counter
In order to participate in the password-protected area of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and to create your own entries (e.g., to upload photos or reports, comment on articles, write in the guestbook, or contribute to discussion forums) or to contact other users, you must register as a user. Before you can register as a user of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal or for membership, sponsorship, a tree donation or other donation, or for the tree counter, you must provide a variety of information about yourself, including Personal Data. We need these data in order to be able to identify our users and contact them if needed, to prevent spam entries and fraudulent behavior, and to improve the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and our online service. Furthermore, we collect and store your data in a database when you plant or donate trees so that you can generate your own tree counter. You are free to provide further demographic data (date of birth, phone number, specific information on your physical address, academic titile) in addition to the required information that is needed for registration (name, gender, language, email address, nationality; in the case of membership, sponsorship, a tree donation or other donation, also your physical address and payment information). Such voluntary information is accordingly not labeled as required information on the registration form; however, this information is necessary for us to better tailor the Plant-for-the-Planet forum to your individual needs.

Registering a Plant-for-the-Planet Club
Plant-for-the-Planet clubs are registered via email, not via the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. To register a Plant-for-the-Planet club, please send the following information (including Personal Data), which we will enter in our CRM database so that we can contact club members in the future and manage the club’s portfolio: information about the club coordinator (name, email address, date of birth, nationality), information about the club, and a list of members and the elected local board members as well as their contact information. We will not publish the names of club members or club coordinators.

Contact Form
You may send us inquiries at any time, even without registering as a user, by using the contact form provided in the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. For the purpose of processing your inquiry and contacting you, we collect, process, and use Personal Data (such as your name, email address, and telephone number) and the information that you have voluntarily provided in the inquiry. We save this information in order to be able to answer follow-up questions.

For this subscription, we collect Personal Data (such as your email address), which we need in order to forward the newsletter to you and to verify that you are the owner of the listed email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. You will only receive the newsletter after giving your explicit consent.

“Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your computer to identify your web browser and your activities in the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and on other websites. We use cookies to personalize your use of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal (e.g., through the dynamic display of content that is tailored specifically to you), to assist you with the use of our online service (e.g., so that you do not need to reenter your name or choose your language every time you access the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal), and to enable the statistical evaluation of your use of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal, which helps us to continue to improve our online service. Furthermore, we use cookies for troubleshooting by means of a “request log” so that we can determine the order in which you visited different pages or sent forms.

The cookies are automatically deleted after a period of four hours.

Although most browsers are set up to accept cookies, you can adjust your browser’s settings so that you are notified when a cookie is installed on your computer. You can also reject all cookies in general. Most browsers provide corresponding instructions under “Help” in the toolbar. However, rejecting cookies may mean that some functions of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and parts of our online service will not function as usual.
Analytics Tools
This website uses Google Analytics , a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files that are stored on the user’s computer and allow the user’s use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie concerning the use of this website by the user is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. [IP anonymization has been activated on this website, which means that the IP addresses of Google users within the Member States of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement of the European Economic Area will be truncated before being transferred.] In rare exceptions, the complete IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of this website’s operator to evaluate the use of the website by users, to create reports on the website activities, and to provide other services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data collected by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings of your browser software. However, users should note that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all of this website’s functions. Users can also prevent the data that is generated by the cookie and pertains to their use of the website (including their IP address) from being collected and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link. The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Registering for Events
When you register as a co-host, speaker, or accompanying person for one of our events, you transmit Personal Data to us (such as your name, gender, date of birth, address, telephone number, email address, nationality, and specific information relating to Plant-for-the-Planet events, such as your previous participation, attendance times, and arrival sites). For accompanying persons, we would also like to know in what capacity you are accompanying the child (as relative/parent, accompanying teacher/caregiver, media representative, forester, etc.). When you register your child for an event, we will also collect the data of the participating child (such as his/her name, gender, date of birth, address, emergency cell phone number and email address as well as school and grade level). We require these data in order to prevent registrations under false identities, to identify event participants, to adequately plan and prepare for events, and to contact you regarding relevant events. In the case of an event announced by you, this entails publishing the contact information of the specified event coordinator.
Ordering from the Online Shop
When you order products from our online shop, you also transmit Personal Data to us (such as your name, address, email address, and invoice data and credit card information). We require these data in order to identify you and to complete the transaction with you. [We likewise collect information that you provide to us voluntarily in the form of answers in relation to particular products and services (such as surveys or questionnaires, self-assessments, or contests). We only process and use these data to tailor our offer to your specific needs.
The online shop is run together with the Global Marshall Plan Foundation, Rosenstraße 2, 20095 Hamburg. https://www.globalmarshallplan.org/

Public Forums and the “My Area” Function
The Plant-for-the-Planet Portal contains public forums via which you can communicate with other users of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. In addition, the “My Area” function allows you to share information about yourself and exchange Personal Data with other users if you would like to do so. Please note that the protection offered by this Privacy Policy does not extend to data that you disclose as content in these public forums or when using the “My Area” function. You are personally responsible for any such disclosure of data. We do not collect, process, or use the data disclosed by means of such content. Please also be aware that all of the data that you share in a public forum or make publicly accessible via your profile will be treated as public information and can therefore be viewed or processed and used by third parties who are not bound by our Privacy Policy.
Log Files
Lastly, we also collect Anonymous Data via our Internet log files. These files are used to store statistical data concerning the use of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. Such data include browser type and version, the operating system used, the referrer URL, the hostname of the accessing computer, the date and time of the server request, and location data, for instance. We use these data to analyze trends, to maintain the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal, to monitor the Portal’s use, and to collect general demographic information. We also combine Anonymous Data with Personal Data for the purposes mentioned; this combination of Anonymous Data and Personal Data is intended to enable us to adapt the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal to your needs and to generally assess our online service. However, we only combine data for internal purposes; we will not combine such data to create a comprehensive personality profile of you.

DOES THE PLANT-FOR-THE-PLANET PORTAL COLLECT INFORMATION ABOUT MINORS?

Like our initiatives, the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal is also aimed at children who are at least nine years of age. Our goal is to protect the privacy of minors. We therefore only collect the Personal Data of minors with the consent of a legal guardian. The data collected with regard to a child will, of course, be promptly deleted upon the child’s request, even after the child has reached the age of majority.

HOW DO WE USE THE DATA COLLECTED IN THE PLANT-FOR-THE-PLANET PORTAL?

We primarily process and use the information collected in the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal to determine the identity and the behavior of our users and to provide our online service. This allows us to tailor the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal to your individual needs and thus to make the use of our online service easier for you. At the same time, we use this data for invoicing purposes.
If you have registered as a user of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal or for membership, sponsorship, a tree donation or other donation, the tree counter, or for one of our events, you will receive a welcome email from us confirming your username and personal password. With your explicit consent, we will also send you the electronic newsletter. We also process and use your data for these purposes. You can revoke your consent to receiving the newsletter at any time, either by writing an Email to [email protected] or via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
In addition, we may process and use your data in order to send you important announcements regarding new websites, updates concerning the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal or our online service, or other information relating to our contractual relationship (e.g., unpaid invoices). As long as you have registered as a user of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal or for membership, sponsorship, a tree donation or other donation, the tree counter, or for one of our upcoming events, you cannot unsubscribe from such notifications since they contain important information for you with regard to your use of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal and our online service and are used for the purpose of conducting our contractual relationship.
We only process and use your data to inform you of interesting news concerning our goods and services if you have given us your explicit separate consent for such marketing measures. If you no longer wish to receive such notifications, you can revoke your consent to marketing measures at any time, either by writing an Email to [email protected] or via the contact information listed below.
Lastly, we also process and use the data collected in the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal to statistically evaluate the behavior of our users and to improve our online service.

Any transfer of data is subject to our right of instruction and the confidentiality obligations of the third party as stipulated by Data Protection Law. Furthermore, the receiving third parties are obligated to process and use your Personal Data in strict compliance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy. Your data will not be transferred for other purposes without your explicit consent unless we are obligated to transfer your data under the law or by direction of a court. Please note that data may be transferred to third parties that are headquartered in a country where the level of data protection is not comparable to that of the EU (e.g., the USA). In such a case, we will reach appropriate contractual agreements with these third parties to protect your interests in accordance with Data Protection Law.
Affiliated Companies
In certain circumstances, we may transfer your data (including Personal Data) to our affiliated companies.

Statutory Obligations
If we are forced to disclose your data (including Personal Data) by law or by court order, we will comply with such a request. Please note that we will also disclose your data if we are convinced in good faith of the validity of a corresponding legal obligation that later proves to be invalid. Likewise, we will transfer your data when this is necessary for revealing or prosecuting a violation of our terms of use or for ensuring the safety of our users, of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal, or of the public. In this case, it may be necessary to transfer your data to third parties that specialize in the prevention of credit card abuse or fraud. However, we will never transfer your Personal Data to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent.
Hosts
We commission hosts to provide certain services for our events. They are responsible for looking after the participating children on site.

Coordinators
We commission coordinators to provide certain services for our events. They are responsible for looking after the participating children on site and the organization of events. We provide them with the data (including Personal Data) of participants so that they can fulfill this task.

We also commission independent contractors to provide certain services for our company in general (auditors, consultants, insurers, administrators, etc.) and in connection with the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal in particular (programmers, analysts, security services, credit institutions, payment processors, etc.). [GDC Note: Please delete any statements that do not apply and include additional information as needed.] Oftentimes, it is necessary to grant these independent contractors limited access to the information collected via the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal; this may also include your Personal Data. However, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Data Protection Law, we will limit the access of these independent contractors to the absolute minimum that is necessary to enable them to fulfill their contractual duties.
In particular, independent contractors are prohibited from disclosing or transferring your Personal Data, unless this is unavoidable in performing the contractual services that are owed to us.
Third-Party Providers [GDC Note: Please delete if not applicable, e.g., because you only offer your own products in the online shop.]
Please note that third parties also offer goods and services via the Plant-for-the Planet Portal.

If so, please include the corresponding regulations for these plugins.]
When you visit a website of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal that contains such a Plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. Facebook transmits the content of the Plugin directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website.Through the integration of the Plugin, Facebook receives the information that you have visited the corresponding page of the Plant-for-the-Planet Portal. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can allocate your visit to your Facebook account. When you interact with the Plugins, for instance by hitting the “Like” button or posting a comment, your browser transfers the corresponding information directly to Facebook, and the information is stored there.
For information regarding the purpose and scope of the collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook as well as your associated rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please see Facebook’s Privacy Notice.

We therefore strive to ensure a secure transfer of your information from your computer to our servers and to prevent abuse, disruptions, loss of data, and unauthorized access, modification, or transmission; our efforts comply with the physical and electronic standards of the industry. As such, we use Secured Socket Layer encryption technology (SSL) to ensure the confidentiality of the Personal Data that you provide to us via the Internet and that we, likewise, transmit via the Internet to our servers. These servers are located at secure sites that are also constantly monitored to prevent unauthorized access. In addition, we limit access to employees and third parties who require access in order to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and all employees and contractual third parties who have access to your data are subject to this Privacy Policy and to a duty of confidentiality, and we conduct regular training in data security.
