Privacy statement

I. Introduction

discuss.green / Antragsgrün is committed to protect the privacy of our users as far as possible.
We therefore collect as little information as possible (e.g. we do not use tracking tools and do not
embed third-party content like social media scripts, webfonts or ads) and use all methods available to secure them.

Your data will be processed exclusively within the legal framework of the European Union,
particularly the General Data Protection Regulation.
This data protection statement provides you with information about the processing of your personal data
and your data protection rights when using our website.

III. Storage of the data / processors

To provide this site, we have to use the services of two third parties:

  • Netcup GmbH, located in Karlsruhe, Germany, is providing the hosting of the servers that discuss.green are running on.
  • Mailjet SAS, located in Paris, France, is sending the notification e-mails.

We have signed Data Processing Agreements with both of them.

IV. Logfiles

When opening our website, our system automatically logs some information about the browser and the opened website:

  • Information about the used browser and operating system version.
  • The internet service provider used by the user.
  • The date and time of access.
  • The address of the opened site.
  • If the site was opened using a link from another website, this referrer is stored.
  • For the IP adress, we only store the first half of the IP address, which makes it impossible to relate this entry to an individual person.

V. Cookies

We use cookies to enable logging in to our system and to improve the security of our website:

  • The cookies PHPSESSID and _identity are storing information if you are logged in. The actual login information is stored on the server, however the codes stored in this cookie identify you as that user.
  • The cookie _csrf prevents so-called "cross-site request forgery" attacks, to prevent malicious websites from making illegitimate actions on this site in your name.
