Data protection regulations

Agence Française de Développement (AFD), a socially responsible public development bank, processes personal data in the course of its activities. The same applies to other AFD Group entities, such as PROPARCO, EXPERTISE FRANCE, FISEA, and SOGEFOM.

We attach the utmost importance to the protection of your personal data and your privacy.

The purpose of this information is to help you understand how we process your personal data, particularly in the context of the Campus AFD website.

This information relates to the processing of personal data on this website: Framework for the use of personal data (in French)

AFD only processes personal data for specific purposes. In order to ensure greater transparency, we disclose the reason why this personal data is being collected. The collection of data is linked to the functionality of the contact form and enables us to respond to your requests as effectively as possible.

How long do we keep your data?

We have defined precise rules for personal data storage periods. To determine these periods, we take into account the various purposes for which the data is collected, compliance with legal and regulatory obligations, and best practices. The storage periods for data do not exceed what is strictly necessary for the proper performance of the processing. (2 years)

Who has access to your data?

Your data is only accessible to AFD employees who need to view it in order to carry out their duties.

The data collected may be communicated as necessary to third parties (partners, subcontractors, and service providers of the AFD). This sharing of information is carried out only to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the tasks we entrust to these third parties.

Where the nature of the operation permits, the data is anonymised before being transmitted.

In addition, in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, we may be required to disclose personal information to administrative or judicial authorities upon specific written request, based on the legislation governing the disclosure request.

Our commitments

We aim to keep your personal data as safe and secure as possible, and to only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it is to be processed. To this end, we put in place appropriate physical, technical, and organisational measures to prevent any alteration, loss, or unauthorised access to your data.

AFD does not sell or market the data collected in the course of its activities.

The entire AFD Group is subject to the same confidentiality and data protection rules. 

When we transfer your data to countries where the level of protection of personal data has not been recognised as adequate by the European Commission, we rely on the implementation of one of the appropriate safeguards to ensure the protection of your personal data (such as binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission). For more information on the possible transfers of your data and the related terms and conditions thereof, you can contact the AFD Group’s Data Protection Officer at the address given below, which is in the section entitled “Your rights”.
