Privacy Policy
We take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it — clearly and without legal jargon where possible.
1. Who We Are
Renewable Green Energy is a professional engineering and project management company headquartered in Germany. We provide technical services to clients operating in the oil & gas, petrochemical, pipeline, and industrial infrastructure sectors.
As a company operating within the European Union, we are subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law (BDSG). We take these obligations seriously — not because we are required to, but because we believe your personal data belongs to you and should be handled with care.
For any questions regarding this policy or the handling of your data, please contact us at: info@renewablegreenenergy.net
2. What Data We Collect
We collect only the personal data that is necessary for us to provide our services and respond to your enquiries. This includes:
— Contact information: name, email address, phone number, and company name — provided when you submit our contact form or reach out to us directly.
— Communication data: the content of messages you send us, including project descriptions, technical enquiries, and any documents you choose to share.
— Technical data: when you visit our website, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record basic technical information such as your IP address, browser type, and the pages you visit. This data is used solely for the purpose of maintaining website security and performance and is not used to identify individual users.
We do not collect sensitive personal data. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising pixels, or behavioural analytics tools on our website.
3. How We Use Your Data
We use the personal data you provide for the following purposes:
— To respond to your enquiries and provide you with information about our engineering and project management services.
— To assess project requirements and prepare technical or commercial proposals when you request them.
— To maintain our business relationship with you and communicate relevant updates about your projects or our services.
— To comply with our legal and contractual obligations.
We do not use your personal data for marketing purposes without your explicit consent. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for commercial purposes under any circumstances.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Under the GDPR, every processing activity must have a legal basis. For Renewable Green Energy, the legal bases we rely on are:
— Article 6(1)(b) GDPR — processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. This applies when we process your data to respond to project enquiries and prepare proposals.
— Article 6(1)(c) GDPR — processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation. This applies where we are required to retain business records under German commercial or tax law.
— Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights. This applies to the basic technical data collected to maintain website security.
— Article 6(1)(a) GDPR — where we rely on your consent, such as for any future newsletter or marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
5. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law.
— Contact and enquiry data is retained for up to 3 years from the date of last contact, unless a contractual relationship develops that requires longer retention.
— Contractual and financial records are retained for 10 years in accordance with German commercial law (§257 HGB) and tax law (§147 AO).
— Technical website data is retained for a maximum of 30 days.
When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.
6. Your Rights Under GDPR
As a data subject under the GDPR, you have the following rights:
— Right of access (Article 15): you have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
— Right to rectification (Article 16): you have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
— Right to erasure (Article 17): you have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal retention obligations.
— Right to restriction of processing (Article 18): you have the right to request that we limit the processing of your data in certain circumstances.
— Right to data portability (Article 20): you have the right to receive your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.
— Right to object (Article 21): you have the right to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at info@renewablegreenenergy.net. We will respond to all requests within 30 days. If you believe your rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority. In Germany, this is the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).
7. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, accidental loss, destruction, or disclosure. Our website is served over encrypted HTTPS connections. Access to personal data within our organisation is restricted to personnel who require it to perform their professional responsibilities.
While no system can guarantee absolute security, we review and update our security practices regularly to maintain appropriate protection for the data entrusted to us.
8. Third-Party Services
Our website uses Resend (resend.com) to process and deliver contact form submissions. Resend acts as a data processor on our behalf and processes your contact form data solely for the purpose of delivering your message to us. Resend is subject to appropriate data processing agreements and operates in compliance with GDPR requirements.
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking or advertising technology on our website. We do not embed third-party social media widgets that track your behaviour.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the 'last updated' date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
