    Data processing is the responsibility of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. GIZ processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG).

    Personal data are, for example, name, address, email addresses and user behaviour. GIZ only processes personal data to the extent necessary. Which data is required and processed for which purpose and on what basis is largely determined by the type of service you use or the purpose for which the data is required.

    When visiting the NIPN website, the browser used automatically transmits data that is saved in a log file. GIZ processes only the data that is technically required in order to display the website correctly and to ensure its stability and security. Each time the website is accessed, the data stored includes, but is not limited to, the page that is viewed, the IP address of the accessing device, the page from which the user was redirected, as well as the date and time of access.

    Your rights in terms of data protection are reproduced here: Chapter 3 – Rights of the data subject - General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (dsgvo-gesetz.de)
    If you have questions specifically about how your data are protected, please contact GIZ’s data protection officer Ms Claudia Eberhardt at: datenschutzbeauftragter@giz.de.

    Privacy

    A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site. It enables the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size and other display preferences) over a period of time, so you don’t have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site or browse from one page to another.

    This site uses Matomo to analyse user behaviour. Cookies collect information about user behaviour on the site, including the abbreviated IP address of the device being used, and send it to the server. The server anonymises the information and stores it for the purpose of analysing user behaviour. The state of current technology ensures that once information has been anonymised, it can no longer be traced back to the originating device or connection. Information produced by cookies is shared only with the internally operated server. It is never shared with third parties. Data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1 f) of the GDPR for the purpose of pursuing the controller’s legitimate interests, in this case to improve the website. You have the right to object to the processing of your user data for the purpose of user behaviour analysis.

    Opt-out cookie: an opt-out cookie is stored on your device to prevent your user data from being collected when you visit this site. For the cookie to be effective, it must be stored on every device you use to visit the site. As the cookie is stored in the browser (the program used to access websites), it must be stored on each browser if you use more than one browser per device (e.g. Internet Explorer, Chrome or Mozilla Firefox). You should also note that if you delete all cookies, you will also delete the opt-out cookie and will have to reinstall it.

    This website uses Matomo for statistics on usage of the webpages. Matomo collects the following information:
    • user IP address in anonymised form
    • a user ID name in anonymised form (such as ‘8cf45b144b6745e3‘)
    • date and time of the visit
    • title of the page being viewed (page title)
    • URL of the page being viewed (page URL)
    • URL of the page that was viewed prior to the current page (referrer URL)
    • screen resolution being used
    • time in local user’s timezone
    • files that were clicked and downloaded (download)
    • links to an outside domain that were clicked (outlink)
    • pages generation time (the time it takes for webpages to be generated by the webserver and then downloaded by the user: page speed)
    • location of the user: country, region, city, approximate latitude and longitude
    • main language of the browser being used
    • user agent of the browser being used.
    The information from Matomo cookies is stored in anonymised fashion for up to six months. Matomo does not use a ‘fingerprint’ to track visitors, but uses the privacy-friendly measures to protect user privacy: the config_id which groups different actions into “visits” during a short window of up to 24-hours.

    Processing of personal data in connection with social network use
    On the NIPN website, GIZ invites users to visit its presence on social networking sites and platforms including Twitter and YouTube.
    These online presences are operated to interact with the users that are active on these sites and platforms and to inform them about projects and services. By clicking on a social network’s logo, the user is redirected to the NIPN presence on the respective network.
    When users visit the platforms, personal data is collected, used and stored by the operators of the respective social network, but not by GIZ. This is also the case even if the users themselves do not have an account with the respective social network.
    The individual data processing operations and their scope differ depending on the operator of the respective social network. GIZ has no influence on the collection of data or its further use by the social network operators. We are not fully aware of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored; to what extent the networks comply with existing obligations regarding erasure; what analyses are conducted and links established with the data; and to whom the data is disclosed.
    Access to NIPN social media sites is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective operators. Below you can find the contact details and links to the data privacy policies of the social media on which NIPN maintains a presence:

    CAPACITY FOR NUTRITION & NIPN
    The European Commission (EC) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has jointly agreed to initiate C4N to enhance capacities, governance and accountability for evidence-based and inclusive nutrition policy response and programming in priority countries, regions and global institutions. This includes to provide global support for the NIPN initiative, to help countries to develop a National Information Platform for Nutrition, and to coordinate the technical assistance and capacity building required.

    The main role of the C4N-NIPN is to:
    • Coordinate the initiative within and between countries
    • Support countries to design and establish each NIPN
    • Build capacity and provide technical assistance
    • Link with SUN and other initiatives to ensure coherence.

    From January 2020 NIPN is being implemented by C4N, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, in Brussels, Belgium.

    From 2016 to 2019, global support for NIPN has been managed by the Global Support Facility at Agrinatura, the European alliance on agricultural knowledge for development and hosted by Agropolis International in Montpellier, France.
