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.

Conservation of data

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.
