Website Analytics
Countering Serious Crime in the Western Balkans IPA 2019 website draws on the services of Matomo for advanced statistics, to analyse usage data. No other use is made of the data, and the data are not passed on to third parties. The following information is stored for each page you view and each file you download:
- Technical details of the browser used
- Anonymous IP address
- Date and time
- Page opened/name of the file downloaded
- Quantity of data transferred
- Notification of whether viewing or download was successful
Temporary session cookies are used each time you view an individual page, to make navigation easier. 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, or after the completion of a user survey, which is conducted as a rule every 6 months.
We do not use methods such as Java applets or ActiveX controls that make it possible to track your browsing behaviour.
Data is processed based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 e) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with the legitimate interest of analysing usage to improve the company’s website. Users have the option of objecting to use of their data to analyse their behaviour. You can prevent the collection of your user data with the tools below.
You are not being tracked since your browser is reporting that you do not want to. This is a setting of your browser so you won’t be able to opt-in until you disable the ‘Do Not Track’ feature.
Contact forms
When you use the contact form, we process your first and last names and email address. The data is processed based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 b) of the EU GDPR for the purpose of receiving the query formulated in the contract form.
Data is transmitted to GIZ using an SSL-encrypted connection, which makes it significantly more difficult for unauthorised persons to intercept it. Similar to queries sent to GIZ by email, queries transmitted using the contact form are deleted following a 6-month period.
Your first name, family name, email address, phone number are processed in the Technical Assistance Facility – Application Template. Under Article 6 (1 b) of the GDPR (Germany), this data is necessary in order to take steps at the request of the data subject, in this case for the purpose of receiving your enquiry entered in the form. Your data is never shared with third parties. All personal data will be deleted by the end of the project phase (6/2023). In case a person which has provided any personal data would like the data to be deleted prior to the closing of this project phase, we will process this after receiving a request sent to our central e-mail: cscwb@giz.de
The data of the applicants that will not be part of the technical assistance will be deleted immediately after the evaluation process is closed.
Contact form: The only place a user can enter personal information is the optional Contact Form, which asks for first and last name and email address. When an entry is submitted, an email is automatically sent directly to the email address of team members within the Project who can then respond accordingly. This collected data is not being stored within the GIZ Server or with any other third party.
Contact by email: Alternatively, it is possible to contact GIZ via the email addresses provided. In this case, at least the email address but also any other personal user data transmitted with the email (e.g. family and given name, address) as well as the information contained in the email are stored solely for the purpose of contacting the user and processing the request. The legal basis for the processing of data in connection with email communication is Article 6 (1) e GDPR.
