GET.invest is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, which is responsible for data processing. As a German federal enterprise under private law, GIZ processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG).

This website uses cookies that are automatically deleted as soon as the browser on which the page is displayed is closed (referred to as temporary cookies or session cookies). Cookies are text files containing small amounts of information which are downloaded to your device when you visit a website and enable you to use the site. Without cookies – for example, where cookies have been disabled in the browser – you will not be able to make full use of this website.

Session cookies are used for user analysis as described below. They make it possible to assign various requests from a browser to a session and to recognise the browser when the website is visited again (session ID). Cookies do not contain any personal data and expire at the end of the session.

We do not use methods such as Java applets or ActiveX controls that make it possible to track your browsing behaviour.

To analyse usage data on the GET.invest website, GIZ uses the etracker web analysis service operated by etracker GmbH, Hamburg. Data is stored and evaluated completely anonymously. No other use is made of the data, and the data are not passed on to third parties. The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker on behalf of GIZ in Germany only. Further information on data protection at etracker can be found here.

Visitors to the GET.invest website have the right:

• to obtain information about their data stored by us (Article 15 GDPR).

The website does not store personal data but only tracks visitor behavior. Visitors who do not agree with the completely anonymous storage and evaluation of the data from their visit can opt out of the storage and use of the data via the opt-out button below.

By clicking on the button, an opt-out cookie will be stored on your device to prevent your user data from being collected when you visit this site next time. For the cookie to be effective, it must be stored on every device you use to visit the site. As the cookie is stored in the browser, it must be stored on each browser if you use more than one browser per device (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).

On its website, GIZ invites users to visit the GET.invest presence on the social networking sites and platforms Twitter and LinkedIn.

These online presences are operated in order to interact with the users that are active on these sites and platforms and to inform them about projects and services. By clicking on a social network’s logo, the user is redirected to the GET.invest presence on the respective network.

When users visit the platforms, personal data is collected, used and stored by the operators of the respective social network, but not by GIZ. This is also the case even if the users themselves do not have an account with the respective social network.

The individual data processing operations and their scope differ depending on the operator of the respective social network. GIZ has no influence on the collection of data or its further use by the social network operators. We are not fully aware of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored; to what extent the networks comply with existing obligations regarding erasure; what analyses are conducted and links established with the data; and to whom the data is disclosed.

Access to GET.invest social media sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective operators.

If you have any questions or complaints about this website, please contact us at info@get-invest.eu or get in touch with the GIZ data protection officer at datenschutzbeauftragter@giz.de.
