Privacy Policy

We greatly appreciate your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of 33 Green Energy GmbH. The use of the websites of 33 Green Energy GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. Where the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data—such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject—will always be carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to 33 Green Energy GmbH. Through this Privacy Policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this Privacy Policy.

As the controller, 33 Green Energy GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions
The Privacy Policy of 33 Green Energy GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR. Our Privacy Policy should be legible and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

We use the following terms, among others, in this Privacy Policy:

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 one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, 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 means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means 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 subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller
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.

h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which 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 shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

k) Consent
Consent means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

The criterion for the storage duration of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract.

15. Legal or Contractual Requirements
The provision of personal data may be partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions. In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data. Failure to provide personal data may result in us not being able to conclude a contract.

16. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
