Through its website and its newsletter, GRET aims to inform on the activities it conducts (projects, advocacy, capitalisation) and to provide publications and documents generated by the projects it implements. This is the framework within which it collects and processes personal data. Through its data management policy, which aims to inform on the practices and conditions in which the data is processed by the organisation, GRET reasserts its attachment to the principle of transparency and wants to strengthen the trust that exists with its partners, subscribers to its newsletter and visitors to its website.
GRET undertakes to ensure that collection and processing of your data from the www.GRET.org website will comply with general regulations on data protection (GDPR) and the French Data Protection Act.
GRET only collects and processes data that is strictly necessary with regards the purposes for which it is used.
In compliance with the amended French Data Protection Act, GRET clearly informs you about processing of your personal data each time your data is collected, in particular specifying:
GRET only transmits the data it collects to its internal services (communication unit and senior management) and its service providers.
GRET only keeps your data for the period of time necessary to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes for which it was collected, in compliance with current legislation.
GRET externalises some of its processed data and may transfer some data to outside of the European Union. In these situations, GRET undertakes to draw up contractual clauses with subcontractors ensuring an adequate level of protection.
GRET makes sure it protects and secures your personal data.
In this context, GRET implements the appropriate technical and organisational measures in order to avoid, in so far as possible, any alteration or loss of your data and any unauthorised access to it.
In order to improve ease of use and performance of its website and to ensure its content is in line with your expectations, GRET uses cookies.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a file that, when a website is visited, is installed on the visitor’s hard drive. With cookies, a visitor’s browsing behaviour can be measured for example. Therefore, using cookies, the website can be technically and editorially improved. It is important to know that only the website generating a cookie is likely to read or change the information contained in it. A cookie can have varying durations of activity (from the duration of use of the website up to several years). The website provider decides on the duration based on how the cookie in question is used.
How do we use cookies on GRET’s website?
To improve ease of use and performance, the www.GRET.org website uses the following types of cookies:
