For ICMPD trust is a vital cornerstone in every business relationship, which is why we attach great importance to the secure and sensitive management of your data. This data protection declaration is intended to give you an insight into which personal data is used, for what purpose and what options are available to you as the data subject for getting the best possible overview of what happens to your data and what rights you have in this regard. ICMPD operates a consistent and continuous data protection management system in order to systematically plan, organise, manage and monitor legal and operational data protection requirements. Our goal is to ensure the rights and freedoms of those concerned, and recognise business-related risks arising from data protection and to be able to manage these accordingly.
This means for you, as the data subject:
In order to explain it to you as transparently as possible, we have endeavoured to describe the facts as simply as possible. Whether you are a long-standing implementing partner, beneficiary or contractor, we invite you to read this statement carefully and familiarise yourself with our practices.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us - our contact details are set out at the beginning of this statement.
Personal data is all that information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person.
We store and process personal data only as far as is directly necessary for developing and in the implementation of individual projects and services along our fields of expertise.
We also process data that we have rightfully obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. company registers or the land registry).
We process the personal data which you provide to us in various ways such as through your use of our website or in the course of an enquiry you have with us.
The following personal data is processed by us:
Any further information you provide to us such as the content of an enquiry (via a free text field or over the phone)
Personal data relating to customer base/supplier base: We record very little data on suppliers. We merely need to ensure a trouble-free business relationship.
Personal data relating to applicants/bidders: there is a separate data protection declaration for these.
We guarantee that we will only use any personal data we collect for the purpose for which it was originally collected. It is especially important to us to ensure there is no lack of clarity around collection of personal data and that you know from the start how, why and by whom the data has been collected.
The processing of the data subject's data is carried out on the basis of the performance of the contract and in exercise of the legal regulations addressed to the data controller (in particular the laws concerning the employee).
For example, the purposes of data processing are as follows
In addition, in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, the following data processing purposes are pursued, for example
If the purpose for which the data was originally collected no longer applies, we may continue to store your data only if we obtain your consent to do so or if there is another important exceptional reason.
We do not currently undertake any automatic decision-making or profiling.
As a rule, we try to make the collection and processing of your data as transparent as possible. Therefore, we adhere exactly to the guidelines set out in Art. 6 ff of the GDPR and use these as the legal basis for the processing and collection of your data. We process your personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Legal basis for data processing:
Personal data will only be disclosed or transferred to third parties if this is required by law or for the purpose of contract execution.
Stored personal data will be deleted if you, as a user of our website and/or interested party and/or customer, revoke your consent to data processing, if your data is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was stored, or if its storage is or becomes inadmissible for other legal reasons. Data that is required for contract processing, accounting purposes or to comply with other legal obligations (documentation obligations) is not affected by a request for deletion.
We will only disclose personal data to third parties if we have a legal basis to do so, for example, if we are required to do so by law, if it is necessary to perform our contract with you or if you have given your prior consent.
With third party processors
We use third party processors (in particular IT service providers) to help us with certain functions and we may disclose your personal data to them if they need it to perform their respective services. All processors are contractually bound to keep your data confidential and to process it only as part of the agreed service provision.
Data processed outside the EEA
No data will be processed outside the EEA.

Privacy and data security are important to us. We have implemented technical and organisational measures to secure our data processing. These measures protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing, accidental loss, accidental destruction or accidental damage. This applies in particular to the protection of your personal data. Examples of the measures we take to protect your personal information include:
All technical and organisational security measures are continuously reviewed in line with technological developments. External and internal IT security is regularly reviewed by an external IT security company. Our central IT service provider regularly provides us with an ISO 27001 audit report on its internal control system.
