Protection of Your Personal Data

In the context of operating the metis.afd.fr website, personal data concerning you may be subject to processing, in accordance with French Law No. 78-17 of January 6, 1978, as amended, known as the “Informatique et Libertés” law. The data controller is Tiphaine Leménager.

We place the highest importance on the protection and confidentiality of your personal data. The purpose of this information is to help you understand how we process your personal data.

What Personal Data Do We Process?

We collect information about you via the “Contact us” section in order to respond to your requests, proposals, or inquiries.

As part of this processing, we may collect the following data:

  • First and last name
  • Email address
  • Content of your message

Who Has Access to Your Data?

Your data is only accessible to internal staff members who need to know it in the context of performing their duties.

The collected data may be shared, when necessary, with third parties (partners, subcontractors, and service providers). Such sharing is limited to what is strictly necessary to perform the tasks entrusted to these third parties. When the nature of the operation allows, the data is anonymized before being shared.

Furthermore, to comply with legal and regulatory obligations, we may be required to share personal data with administrative or judicial authorities, upon written request, justified by the legal texts establishing their right of access.

How Long Do We Keep Your Data?

We have defined precise rules for the retention periods of personal data. To determine these periods, we consider the various purposes for which the data is collected, legal and regulatory requirements, operational needs, and sector best practices. Retention periods do not exceed what is strictly necessary for the effective processing of the data.

Our Commitments

We aim to store your personal data in the safest and most secure way, and only for the time necessary to achieve the intended purpose. Accordingly, we implement appropriate physical, technical, and organizational measures to prevent any alteration, loss, or unauthorized access to your data.

If we transfer your data to countries where the level of personal data protection is not recognized as adequate by the European Commission, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as binding corporate rules or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission). For more information on potential data transfers and their arrangements, you may contact AFD’s Data Protection Officer using the contact details below, in the “Your Rights” section.
