Information on the collection of personal data:

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Division Cooperation with the Private Sector, Sustainable Economic Policy, has commissioned the Agency for Business & Economic Development (AWE) with the press and public relations work for develoPPP. AWE is a BMZ project jointly implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and DEG Impulse gGmbH as equal partners.

GIZ processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Regulation (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG). Personal data include, for example, names, addresses, email addresses and user behaviour.

GIZ only processes personal data to the extent necessary. Which data is required and processed for which purpose and on what basis is largely determined by the type of service you use or the purpose for which the data is required.


User analysis:

Each time a user accesses the develoPPP programme Website and each time a file is accessed, data about this process is temporarily stored and processed in a log file. Each data set is anonymised by changing the IP address before the data are stored.

  • Anonymised IP address

  • Date and time

  • Page opened/name of the file downloaded

  • Quantity of data transferred

  • Notification of whether viewing or download was successful

To make navigation easier, temporary session cookies are used each time you view an individual page. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in your browser cache. Session cookies do not include any personal data and expire at the end of each session. We do not use methods such as Java applets or ActiveX controls that make it possible to track your browsing behaviour.

GIZ evaluates usage information for statistical purposes as part of its public relations work and for the demand-oriented provision of information as part of the tasks it is required to perform (basis: Article 6 (1) e GDPR in conjunction with § 3 BDSG).
It is possible to object to the processing of user data for the analysis of user behaviour.

If you do not agree with the completely anonymised storage and analysis of the data relating to your visit, you can object to the storage and use here:
