Privacy Statement – for Applicants/Entrepreneurs
REEEP – the Executing Agency of the Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) – is committed to protecting your personal data. REEEP processes personal data in compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation. All information that you provide to REEEP, e.g. by completing online registration and application forms and uploading supporting documents in Climate Invest, is stored on a secure IT infrastructure.
This privacy statement sets out our privacy policy and explains what happens with personal data that we collect from our users. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this statement, feel free to reach out using the contact details below.
In addition, PFAN and its partners in the PFAN Programme respect the confidentiality of all information submitted with each Application. These documents and data will not be copied for any purposes other than for the use during the application process. Once a project is selected, confidentiality terms will be covered in the respective coaching contract.
What is the legal basis for processing your personal data?
During the application process, you will be requested to give consent to the processing of your personal data by REEEP, in line with this privacy statement.
Please note that your consent is necessary to apply for and to receive support from PFAN. If you do not give your consent, you may not submit a PFAN application, because PFAN would not be allowed to process your application further. You may withdraw your consent at any time – however, this may also hinder the possibility to receive support from the PFAN network, if processing and transferring the data is necessary to prepare or administer this support.
What personal data does REEEP process about you and why?
As the Executing Agency of the Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN), REEEP processes personal data of PFAN Network Members, Project Developers, PFAN Coordinators, and external evaluators.
The data processed via Climate Invest belongs to the following categories: contact details (such as full name, physical address, e-mail, phone number, and Skype ID), affiliated organisation, gender and nationality, CV, data on competencies and experience, personal data related to projects and names of associated investors and shareholders.
This personal data is processed for various purposes of PFAN programme management: administration of contact data, selection of PFAN Network Members for assignment to Project Developers, administrative tasks related to programme and project implementation, investor outreach, as well as programme monitoring and evaluation.
Will REEEP disclose any of your personal data?
For the purposes of PFAN programme management, it is indispensable that certain data is shared with the following third parties: PFAN Coordinators (Global, Regional and Country Coordinators) and affiliated personnel, Members of the Technical Committee, Members of the Investment Facilitation Team, PFAN Network Members, UNIDO personnel, external evaluators, external partners and judges.
All data recipients are committed to the highest standards in dealing with personal data – independent of their location. Nevertheless, we are legally obliged to inform you that a level of protection comparable to one under the GDPR cannot be guaranteed in third countries or international organisations due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards.
Since PFAN operates at an international level and its Trust Fund and investor outreach efforts are managed by UNIDO, many of the above-mentioned data recipients and IT system suppliers are based in third countries or are representatives of international organisations:
