Scope of application

This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ is being used by Greenliff. Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or otherwise handle your Personally Identifiable Information in accordance with our website.

Collection of general information

With every access to our web pages, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

Among other things: Name of the website, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider and the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our website).

Without these data it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of the website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely essential. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimize our range of products and technology. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the log files in case of suspicion of illegal use of our offer.

Handling of personal data

Personally Identifiable Information is information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context (see more information in article 4 GDPR).

This personal data includes your name, email address, phone number, company, IP address or other details to help you with your experience.

We collect this information from you when you place an order, subscribe to a newsletter, fill out a form or enter information on our site.

We may use the information we collect from you in the following ways:

To personalize your experience and to allow us to deliver the type of content and product offerings in which you are most interested.
To allow us to better service you in responding to your customer service requests.
To send periodic emails regarding your order or other products and services.
To follow up with them after correspondence (email or phone inquiries)

How do we protect your information?

Our website is scanned on a regular basis for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to our site as safe as possible.

We use regular Malware Scanning.

Your personal information is contained behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user places an order enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information. To ensure the security of your data during transmission, we work with encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS, which reflect the current state of the art.

Contact Form

If you contact us via the online form or by e-mail, personal data will be collected. This includes, among other things, the name, the company, the telephone number and the e-mail address as contact and communication data. We store the information you provide in order to answer your inquiry and to be able to ask possible follow-up questions.

For persons who have left their data in one of our contact or download forms, it is possible to change or delete the data mentioned at any time. Upon request, we will of course inform you which personal data has been collected and stored. Beyond that we correct or delete the data on request, provided that the request does not conflict with any legal storage obligations. If you have any questions or requests for correction or deletion of your data, please use the contact data stated in this data protection declaration.

Comment function

If comments or other contributions are written and published on our website, we store the user name and the time of creation. These data are collected for security reasons, since the provider can be prosecuted for illegal content (prohibited propaganda, insults, etc.), even if they were created by third parties. In such a case, the information is used to determine the identity of the author.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the information you provide exclusively for this purpose or to inform you of the circumstances relevant to this service or registration. We do not pass these data on to third parties.

A valid e-mail address is required to receive the newsletter. The IP address you use to subscribe to the newsletter and the date on which you subscribe to the newsletter are also stored. This data serves us as proof of misuse if an external e-mail address is registered for the newsletter. In order to ensure that an e-mail address is not misused by third parties on our mailing list, we work in compliance with the law using the so-called “double opt-in” procedure. Within the framework of this procedure, the order of the newsletter, the sending of the confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the registration confirmation are recorded.

You have the possibility at any time to revoke your consent to the storage of the data, your e-mail address and their use for the newsletter dispatch. For the revocation we provide you in each newsletter a link. You also have the option of informing us of your wish to cancel using the contact options mentioned in this document.

Third-party disclosure

Our offer may include content, services and performances of other providers. These include maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube and graphics and images from other websites. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user’s browser, the transmission of the IP address is absolutely necessary. The providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) thus perceive the IP address of the respective user.

Although we make every effort to use only third-party providers who only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process is used for statistical purposes, among other things.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your Personally Identifiable Information unless we provide users with advance notice. This does not include website hosting partners and other parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release information when it’s release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others’ rights, property or safety.

However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. Google Analytics uses the above mentioned cookies to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will previously be reduced by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google AdWords

This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and in the context of this the conversion tracking. Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced through the websites of AdWords customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can easily deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Settings. They are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics. For more information, please see Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Facebook Social Plug-in

We integrate plug-ins from the social network Facebook (address: 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) on our websites. You can recognize the plug-ins – you can find an overview here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/Plug-ins/ – by the Like button (I like it) or by the logo of Facebook.

If you call one of our websites with Facebook plug-in, a direct connection is established with Facebook. We have no influence on the type and scope of data collected, stored and processed by Facebook. We can only inform you according to our level of knowledge.

Facebook will be informed by the plug-in that you have accessed the corresponding website of our offer. This also applies to users who are not registered on Facebook. In this case, Facebook may store the IP address.

If you are a member of Facebook and logged in, calling up a website with the Facebook plug-in can be clearly assigned to your Facebook user account. In addition, the plug-ins transmit all interactions if you use the like button or leave a comment, for example.

To prevent Facebook from storing information about you, please log out of Facebook before visiting our websites. You can also block the plug-ins with browser add-ons (e.g. “Facebook Blocker”).

Google+ Social Plug-in

We include the Google+ social plug-in (Google plus) on our websites, recognizable by the”+1″ sign on white or colored background. The plug-in is provided by Google Inc (Google, address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

When you call up a web page with Google+ button, a connection to the Google servers is established. Google transmits the content of the button and integrates it on the corresponding website. At the same time, Google receives information about which page has just been accessed. According to Google, personal data is only collected when the Google+ button is clicked. For members of Google+ who are logged in, the following applies: Google stores and processes at least the IP address even without interaction. We have no influence on the extent of the data stored in this context.

Users of Google+ who are logged into their account can recommend our websites by clicking on the “+1” button. In this case, Google not only stores the IP address and browser, but also the content for which +1 was given, and the page. This information is stored in the user’s profile and can be displayed along with the user’s profile name and image in Google Services, which include search results. Google uses the data to optimize its own services, among other things. Information on Google’s privacy policy and privacy settings can be found here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Members of Google Plus who do not want their data to be collected and stored via our websites should log out of their Google+ account before visiting our site.
