FOOTBALL FOR FORESTS PRIVACY POLICY

The following separate privacy policy applies to the Football for Forests Limited (F4F) mobile app, available via the Google Play Store and the Apple Appstore.
The protection of your personal data is important to F4F.
By downloading our application from the iTunes Appstore or Android Market, you have legitimised yourself to the respective Appstore, e.g. via your Apple ID. Any use by Apple or Google of the data collected in connection with the download or use of the application that is not in compliance with the European Data Protection Regulation cannot therefore be ruled out by F4F. F4F has no influence on this. However, F4F does not pass on data to Apple or Google.
Below you will find information on which personal data is collected, processed or stored by F4F:

As of 1 July 2023:

1. Contact details of the responsible person

The responsible party within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection laws as well as other data protection provisions is:

Football for Forests e.V.
Am Lokdepot 3
10965 Berlin

2. Collection of personal data when visiting our mobile application (app)

As a matter of principle, F4F collects and uses personal data of its users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functioning app as well as the contents and services.
Each time the app is opened, the following data is automatically recorded by the system of the calling end device and stored in log files: Name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, type of your mobile device and operating system. These data are not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for the collection of the data and its storage in log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The temporary collection of data by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the app to your end device and to ensure its playback. The data is also stored in log files to ensure the stability and functionality of the website. Furthermore, the data serves to optimise the website and to guarantee the security of the information technology systems against possible attacks from outside. This is also the legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected, at the latest after seven days.
The collection of data for the provision of the app and its storage in log files is necessary for the operation of the app, so that there is no possibility for you to object.

3. Note on app permissions

When downloading and installing our apps, certain authorisations and access to your smartphone are requested. These are exclusively for the functionality of our apps. For example, access to your contacts is required in order to invite other users to join the teams you have created.
We do not use the authorisations in any other way, such as “spying” on data on your smartphone; instead, the authorisations are used exclusively for the functionality of the functions offered by our apps.
When installing the app on your device, you can decide whether you want to receive push messages from F4F (Apple) or you will be informed that F4F’s offer includes push messages, which you can switch off (Android). We collect, store and use the following data to send the push messages: Parameter “pushkey” (key from Apple or Google via which the push is then sent, parameter “os” (to distinguish between the operating systems Android or iOS), optional parameter “cat” (categories for which the user registers), optional parameter “theme” (themes for which the user registers), parameter “alert” (1 or 0, whether the user would like to receive an alert or not).
The data is required to ensure that the push messages are delivered precisely to the device in accordance with the push configuration in the app. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. You can deactivate the push notification function at any time by either switching off the push function in the settings of the installed app or by selecting the corresponding app in the settings of your smartphone under “Apps” and configuring the notification function as desired.

4. Data processing and confidentiality when contacting us

In the app, you have the option of contacting F4F via e-mail (info@footballforforests.com). The personal data transmitted by e-mail (e.g. name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) is used exclusively to process your contact enquiries. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted by e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The aforementioned purposes also constitute the legitimate interest in processing the data according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case when the processing of your respective enquiry has been completed, i.e. it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.
You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data and to object to the storage of your personal data that you have sent to F4F by e-mail. In this case, the conversation cannot be continued. To do this, you can contact F4F by e-mail (in-fo@footballforforests.com). All personal data stored in the course of contacting you will then be deleted.
F4F points out that the confidentiality of e-mails or other electronic forms of communication on the internet cannot be guaranteed. For confidential information, the postal service is recommended.

5. Upload functions

For the upload function in our app, no further data is collected, stored or processed apart from the content (image) uploaded by you. The collection of the data serves solely to create your profile picture. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The username you choose, together with your accumulated restoration volume, will automati-cally appear in a ranking (“Reforestation Table”) that lists users’ donation activity according to their respective restoration volume. This ranking will also appear on the footballforforests.org website for as long as your F4F account is active. If you delete your account with F4F, you will be removed from the ranking. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
