When signing up for our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers can also be informed about aspects, which are relevant to the service or the registry (for example changes in the newsletter service or technical issues). For an effective registration we need a valid email address. To verify that the registration was actually realized by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” method. To this end, we record the subscription to the newsletter, the sending of the confirmation email and the reception of the hereby requested response. Further data is not collected. The data will be used exclusively for sending newsletters and not shared with third parties. The consent to the storage of your personal data and their utilization for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. In each newsletter you will find a corresponding link. You can also cancel the newsletter by using the contact form.

Similarly to queries sent to GIZ by email, queries transmitted using the contact form are deleted following 4 year retention period.
Duration of data retention
