The GIZ website uses cookies that are automatically deleted as soon as the browser in which the page is displayed is closed (so-called temporary cookies or session cookies). This type of cookie makes it possible to assign various requests from a browser to a session and it is possible to recognize the browser when the website is visited again (session ID).

Processing of personal data in the context of the use of social networks

On its website, GIZ offers the opportunity to visit company presences on social networks and platforms such as [Linkedin, YouTube and Facebook].

These online presences are operated in order to interact with the users active there and to provide information about projects and services. Clicking on the logo of a social network will take you to GIZ's presence on the respective network.

When visiting the platforms, no personal data is collected, used and stored by GIZ, but by the operators of the respective social network. This happens even if visitors themselves do not have a profile on the respective social network.

The individual data processing operations and their scope vary depending on the operator of the respective social network. GIZ has no influence on data collection and its further use by the operators of the social networks. We have no comprehensive knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, which evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on.

When accessing a GIZ presence on social media, the terms of use and data protection declarations of the respective operators apply. Click here for the contact addresses and links to the privacy policies of the social media sites on which GIZ has a presence.

Social media with GIZ appearances

Note on the Facebook fan page

When you visit GIZ Facebook pages, Facebook collects your IP address and other information in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide GIZ, as the operator of the Facebook page, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. This statistical data can be accessed by GIZ via the Facebook page's 'Insights'.

  • These statistics are generated and provided solely by Facebook. As the operator of the site, GIZ has no influence on the generation and presentation of this data. The data is provided automatically and cannot be switched off.
  • By operating the Facebook page, GIZ offers a modern means of communication and information. The processing of personal data associated with the operation of the Facebook page is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR.
  • As the operator of the fan page, GIZ is jointly responsible with Facebook for the processing. However, the primary responsibility for the processing of Insights data lies with Facebook. Facebook therefore fulfills all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data (including Art. 12 and 13 GDPR, Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and Art. 32 to 34 GDPR). Data subject rights can be asserted either with GIZ or with Facebook. If contact is made with GIZ, there is an obligation to forward all relevant information in this regard to Facebook.

Disclosure to third parties

GIZ does not pass on personal data to third parties unless it is legally obliged or entitled to do so by law.

Data transfers to third countries

GIZ does not transfer personal data to third countries. When using social media, the data protection provisions of the respective providers apply.

Duration of data storage

User data is not stored for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it is processed or due to statutory retention obligations.

IT security of user data

The protection of personal data is an important concern for GIZ. For this reason, technical and organizational security measures ensure that data is protected against accidental and intentional manipulation, accidental deletion and unauthorized access. These measures are updated in line with technical developments and constantly adapted to the risks.
