We offer you the option of contacting us quickly via a contact form on our website. If you send us an email or use our contact form on the website, your data will be used for correspondence with you. In addition, we store the data you transmit in accordance with the means you have requested. In addition to the contents of the data fields, the IP address of the sender is also transmitted. This also applies to the sending of conventional emails. We assume that we are entitled to respond by email or to the contact request. Otherwise, you must expressly inform us of another form of communication.
If you have subscribed to the newsletter on our organization website, we will use your email address to send you the newsletter regularly and provide you with interesting information about the organization. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time to stop receiving the newsletter. To do so, click on “unsubscribe” at the bottom of the newsletter email. Alternatively, you can write to us at post[at]greenlegal.eu or by post. We use Rapidmail to send the newsletter.
The email address you provided for the newsletter will be deleted as soon as you revoke your consent to the newsletter, unless this email address is also used for other communication between the organization and you besides sending the newsletter.
Technical or functional cookies ensure that certain parts of the website function properly and that your user settings are remembered. By setting functional cookies, we make it easier for you to visit our website. This way, you do not have to repeatedly enter the same information when visiting our website. Technical or functional cookies can be set without your consent.
Marketing/tracking cookies are cookies or another form of local storage that are used to create user profiles in order to display advertising or track the user on this website or across multiple websites for similar marketing purposes.
The following cookies are used on this website:
When you first visit our website, a pop-up menu appears with the cookie settings. Once your settings are saved, the cookies and plug-ins will be used as consented. You can disable cookies via your browser settings. However, this may also limit the usability of this website.
You can donate money to Green Legal Impact on our website. We use the FundraisingBox tool from Wikando GmbH for this purpose. If you, as a website user, take advantage of the opportunity to donate, the data you enter will be used for payment processing. We also store your data if it is necessary to issue you with a donation receipt and to process our accounting correctly. In this case, we refer to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Donation payments are processed via specialized payment services (AppelPay, PayPal, or Visa/Mastercard Payment). Your data is also stored in the systems of the respective provider. It is stored in our databases until the purpose of storage has been fulfilled and an active donation relationship exists.
We use encryption methods via HTTPS to protect your data during transmission.
In order to publicize our organization’s activities and provide information about our projects, we are represented on the following social media platforms: Bluesky, Instagram, Mastodon, and LinkedIn. To present our work on Bluesky, Instagram, Mastodon, and LinkedIn, we use the technical platform and services of the respective platform. We hereby point out that you are responsible for your own use of these platforms.
When you visit our Bluesky, Instagram, Mastodon, and LinkedIn pages, the platforms themselves process your data, such as your IP address and your settings specified in the cookies. We have no further information about how Instagram, Bluesky, Mastodon, and LinkedIn store your data, for what purposes it is used, and how deletion periods are set. The operator can use your IP address and device to associate your visit to our site with your account and tailor content or advertising accordingly.
We use a two-click variant so that no data is transferred to social networks when you simply visit our website, as the social media plugins are inactive by default. Only when you click on a plugin does your browser establish a direct connection to the servers of the respective network. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the network to your browser and integrated into the website. If these networks are based outside the EU or the EEA, we cannot rule out the possibility that your data may be transferred to a server outside the EU/EEA and processed there.
Green Legal Impact manages the following data about you in order to carry out our work as an organization:
Member data such as name, address, and bank details are only processed by the respective authorized persons for the purpose of performing assigned tasks. The purpose of processing member data is to pursue the organization’s purpose and administration. The legal basis is membership of the organization (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR). Current membership data is stored for the duration of membership and for up to six months thereafter.
In order to organize webinars, seminars, and other events, we use our event tool and registration forms to store all the technical and organizational data necessary to make the registration process as convenient as possible for you. This data is used exclusively for the organization of the respective event and is deleted after six months at the latest. If you agree, you can also sign up for our newsletter within the registration form to be informed about further events.
Photos of our organization’s activities are published on our website and social media platforms for the purpose of external presentation. The legal basis for the publication of the following photos of adults on our website is the legitimate interest of our organization as described below, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Due to our legitimate interest in reporting on the event and its success, we also use photos of the audience that participated in an event. This includes photos in which people appear only as accessories.
You have the option to object to the use of such photos in which you appear, in accordance with Article 21(1) GDPR. We will check whether there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms. If this is not the case, the photo in question will be irrevocably deleted.
We only publish other photos in which an adult (club member or member of the audience) is the focus or in which only this person was specifically photographed with the consent of this person (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). This consent can be revoked at any time for the future.
