Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

This policy applies to the “ABIOLA Environmental Actions” mobile app and the website greenactivity.abiola.ngo.

1. Controller

The controller is Abiola gGmbH, represented by its managing director Christoph Köhler.

Address: Gewerbepark 25, 87477 Sulzberg-See, Germany. Website: www.abiola.ngo.

Privacy contact: info@abiola.eu.

2. What data we process and why

Leader accounts: name, e-mail, phone number and a hashed password — for sign-in and contact.

Action reports: number of people, duration, number of bags and an optional text — to run campaigns and power the leaderboards.

Photos: action and group photos that may appear in the public feed and gallery. They are published only after the leader’s explicit consent.

Payout data (Western Union): recipient name, country, city, phone and e-mail — solely to pay out prizes. Stored encrypted and visible only to the responsible administration.

Technical data: standard server log data (e.g. IP address, timestamp) needed to provide and secure the service.

3. Photos and minors

Uploaded photos may show people, including pupils. Only photos for which the depicted persons — for minors, their legal guardians — have given consent may be uploaded. Photos can be removed at any time on request.

4. Legal bases

Contract/participation (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for accounts and reports; consent (a) for publishing photos; legitimate interest (f) for secure operation.

5. Recipients / processors

Hosting: servers in Germany (Hetzner). E-mail: Brevo. Optional read-only data mirror to Google Sheets (per country). We do not sell data and use no advertising tracking.

6. Retention

We keep personal data while the account exists or as long as required for the campaign, then delete or anonymise it, or earlier on request.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, data portability and to withdraw consent.

Account deletion: in the app under “Account → Delete account”, or at greenactivity.abiola.ngo/konto-loeschen. Your personal and payout data are deleted; already-published actions/photos remain but are disconnected from you (anonymised).

Requests: info@abiola.eu.

8. Supervisory authority

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
