General data protection of the greenwind Group
The greenwind Group respects the privacy of individuals who visit this website and strictly adheres to the requirements of the GDPR and the data protection laws of the countries in which the company is commercially active (including specifications by the German Data Protection Regulation).
The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. Your personal data will be treated confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses, address) is collected on our website, this is always performed on a voluntary basis as far as possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
We would like to indicate that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can generally be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible. Through suitable technical and organisational measures, greenwind ensures in an ongoing process that the greatest possible protection for you is achieved. These includes:
- Ongoing employee sensitisation on the topics of data protection and data security (briefings, newsletters etc.)
- Introduction of technical measures to ensure the greatest possible protection against IT threats (e.g. development of UTM unified threat management, use of the latest HW firewall technology, constant updating and adaptation of rules and regulations, immediate response to identified security gaps through patch management)
- Establishment and maintenance of security certifications according to e.g. ISO standards (including ISO 27001) and Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) specifications (based on the BSI basic protection catalogue)
This data protection policy outlines our responsibility with regard to the collection, use and storage of personal data.
Personal data
Fundamentally, data is only collected for the purpose of initiating or maintaining a business relationship. The collection and processing is based on Para. 6 of the GDPR according to the principles:
- Legality, good faith and transparency
- Predetermination (only for the respective business purpose)
- Appropriateness = data minimisation (only as much as necessary)
- Factual correctness and, if necessary, up to date
- Storage limitation, i.e. only as long as required for the business purpose
- integrity and confidentiality (protection of data against unauthorised access through technical and organisational measures)
A request for information made via our website may require the collection of personal data, which is protected by data protection laws (in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR). The greenwind Group always endeavours to perform processing in compliance with all laws and guidelines, and to this end greenwind has taken all necessary steps to comply with the obligations under country-specific laws (including the Federal Data Protection Act) and EU regulations (GDPR) on the protection of personal data.
By entering your personal data and/or sending a contact enquiry via e-mail or contact form, you give greenwind your consent to collect and process your data. Within greenwind, the data is only accessible to selected and instructed employees who have access authorisations in accordance with the respective business purpose.
Your data will be used to enable personalised feedback and/or to inform you directly about tailored content such as services or news in compliance with the purpose.
greenwind will not pass on your data to third parties without your express consent. This does not apply to so-called contract data processors (e.g. newsletter agencies, web designers) with whom greenwind has concluded a corresponding agreement. The processors are in any case bound by the same duty of care and the applicable country-specific laws and EU regulations as greenwind, and must at least comply with its standards.
If you do not wish your personal data to be stored in a database, please send an e-mail to the following address: datenschutz[at]greenwindenergy.de.
