What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Media

If you are a registered user and upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Contact forms

Data sent via the contact form is transmitted to our hosting provider exclusively for the purpose of contacting you. This data is deleted regularly and is not passed on to third parties. We have a data processing agreement in place with our hosting provider.

Childcare place inquiry form

The data submitted via the inquiry form for a childcare place is used by Grüne Wolke e.V. to appropriately allocate available childcare places. For this purpose, it is necessary to collect the child’s age, gender, and spoken languages to ensure a balanced group composition. The data will be stored on the servers of our service provider domain factory on our behalf until the inquiry has been fully processed (i.e., a childcare contract has been concluded or a rejection has been issued).

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you have an account and log in to this site, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

We generally do not embed content from third-party sources; this includes frameworks for JavaScript and CSS, as well as images. However, plugins may potentially request external sources.

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

No analytics services are used on this website.

Who we share your data with

The data is used exclusively to ensure the regular functioning of the website and is not shared with third parties. For security purposes, our hosting provider maintains access logs containing the time of the page view, IP address, and URL. These logs are not shared with third parties.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website, we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Log data is stored solely on the servers of our hosting provider and deleted regularly. It is used for troubleshooting and securing the website and is not used for commercial purposes.

How we protect your data

We aim to keep our system as secure as possible through logging, regular updates, system hardening, using as few plugins as possible, and multi-level passwords. No personal data is stored within the web system itself.

What third parties we receive data from

We do not receive data from third parties.
