Protection of your personal data 

The Agence Française de Développement or AFD (a public, solidarity-based development bank), processes personal data for the purposes of the activities carried out by the FFEM.

The protection and confidentiality of your personal data is of the greatest importance to us. This information seeks to help you to understand how we process your personal data.

FRAMEWORK FOR THE USE OF PERSONAL DATA

The AFD only uses personal data for specific purposes. For maximum transparency, we publish a list of the main purposes for which your data may be used, the bases for such use and the categories of data collected. 

See framework for the use of personal data below

LENGTH OF TIME FOR WHICH WE WILL STORE YOUR DATA 

We have devised specific rules to govern the length of time for which we will store your personal data. 

To establish these periods of time, we take into account the purposes for which the data has been collected, respect of legal and regulatory obligations and best practice within the sector. The length of time for which we store the date will not exceed the duration that is strictly necessary for the data to be correctly processed. 

WHO HAS ACCESS TO YOUR DATA? 

Your data is only accessible to AFD personnel who require it within the context of their work.

The data gathered may be disclosed to third parties (AFD’s partners, sub-contractors and suppliers), as necessary. The data is shared only to the extent required for the fulfilment of the work we entrust to these third parties. 

When the nature of the operation performed so allows, the data will be anonymised before being disclosed. 

In order to meet certain legal and regulatory obligations, we may also be required to disclose personal information to the administrative or judicial authorities in response to specific written requests deriving from legislation governing information rights.

OUR PLEDGES

Our aim is to always store your personal data as safely and securely as possible, and only for the length of time necessary to process it. To do this we put in place the appropriate physical, technical and organisational structures to ensure that your data cannot be altered, lost or accessed by unauthorised persons. 

The AFD will not commercialise any of the data collected in the course of its activities. 

The whole AFD Group is subject to the same rules governing confidentiality and data protection. For more information on this, please see the AFD Group’s personal data protection policy. 

If we transfer your data to another country where the level of data protection is not recognised as adequate by the European Commission, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are put into place to protect your personal data (modelled on binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission). For further information on the possible transfer of your data and the procedures for doing so, please contact the AFD Group’s Data Protection Officer at the address given below, under the heading “your rights”.

ABOUT OUR NEWSLETTER

When you register on our website to receive our newsletters, the data you enter in the registration form is processed as part of the management of our information offer.

The purposes pursued are therefore as follows:

• Management of newsletter subscriptions
• Management of electronic sending of newsletters
• Development of statistics relating to the services offered
• Ad hoc surveys to improve our information services
• The legal basis for the processing is the performance of a task carried out in the public interest (or in the exercise of official authority) vested in AFD, pursuant to Article 6.1.e of the European Data Protection Regulation.

The information presented as mandatory in the registration form is necessary to send you newsletters and meet your expectations as part of your registration process. The non-mandatory information allows us on the one hand to produce statistical indicators on the audience of our newsletter and, on the other hand, to specifically inform you about conferences and workshops organized in your country of residence.

We also collect data relating to your interaction with our emails (email open rate, clicks) in order to compile statistics on the quality of our communication. The treatment does not involve automated decision-making.

We keep your email address and the information collected via the registration form for the duration of your registration.

Are recipients of the data:

• the authorized staff, in charge of external communication activities;
• the authorized staff at our involved service providers, if applicable.
• For the management and sending of our newsletters, we use the services of MailChimp, whose servers are located in the United States. However, your rights resulting from the European regulations on data protection are guaranteed in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR, under commitments made by MailChimp within the framework of standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission. For more information, do not hesitate to contact us.

You can access the data concerning you, rectify them, request their erasure or exercise your right to limit the processing of your data. To exercise your rights, or for any question related to your personal data, you can contact our Privacy Officer of the AFD group:
