We process the personal data that you provide when you visit this website. Certain services automatically generate log files (so-called log files) for hosting this website, to the extent technically necessary.

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz; BDSG), the German Federal Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutz-Gesetz; TTDSG) and other applicable legal regulations.

For technical reasons, we need to collect and temporarily store personal data when our website is used. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR as well as the technical provision of this website under Section 25(2) No. 2 TTDSG.

KfW Capital processes personal data to fulfil legitimate interests, where necessary.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in this context is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests include maintaining the security of our IT systems, IT security and IT operations of this website, and responding adequately to circumstances of non-compliance or misuse, for instance by establishing legal claims.

We use cookies and other technologies for the operation of our website, as well as for a pseudonymised recording of its usage. In this way, we can conduct analyses of user behaviour by collecting and analysing the information communicated by your browser. However, none of these analyses are linked to individual persons. Any personal identification characteristics, namely in this case the IP address, are deleted at the moment of processing and replaced by an indicator, which makes it impossible or at least extremely difficult to identify the data subject. This methodology ensures that KfW Capital is routinely unable to establish a concrete link to particular persons.

In our cookie notes you can find detailed information on which cookies and other technologies are used for which concrete purposes and on which legal basis this is done. You can also find opt out-options there.

You can access the cookie notes by clicking on the blue circular icon with the fingerprint at the bottom left of this page.

We process your personal data solely for the purpose of conducting the selection process for the award, communicating with you, and organising the award ceremony. This processing is based on the legal grounds set out in Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR. If you give us your consent, for example to the publication of photographs, the processing is additionally based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In particular, we process your name, contact details, application documents, any further information provided voluntarily, and communication data. Your personal data will only be made available to those involved in the assessment and organisation of the awards, and, where applicable, to external service providers who assist us. Your data will not be transferred to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Your data will only be stored for as long as is necessary for the purposes stated.

You can access our LinkedIn page from our website.

Any information on that platform that was not posted by KfW Capital was created independently of us, and we are therefore not responsible for its content. We do not accept any liability for the information being up to date, accurate or complete. Reference to social media does not imply any endorsement by us. In addition, the respective social media provider is responsible for processing your data on these websites. Our website does not share any personal data with the providers when you click on the icons or links.

Personal data is not transferred to recipients in countries outside of the European Union (so-called third countries), except as set out in this privacy notice. If data is transferred to a third country, appropriate safeguards are applied to ensure an adequate level of data protection (Art. 46et seq. GDPR). If you require further information on individual recipients, please feel free to contact us.

The length of time that personal data is stored for is based on the respective processing purposes, as indicated in this privacy notice above for each case. Data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the provision of this website, this occurs when the relevant session ends.

The data categories as set out in this privacy notice are necessary for the technical operation of this website and must be provided for this purpose.

Provided the respective requirements are met, you have the following data protection rights against KfW Capital:

• The right to access to your personal data processed by us;
• The right to rectification of inaccurate data and/or completion of incomplete data and/or erasure of data;
• The right to restrict data processing;
• The right to request that we transfer your data to you or to a third party (right to data portability); and
• The right to object to the processing (see the information under section 2).

You also have the right to lodge a complaint (Art. 77 GDPR) with a data protection authority. The data protection authority competent for us is the Data Protection Authority of Hesse (Hessischer Beauftragter für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit), Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 1, 65189 Wiesbaden.

If the processing of personal data is based on consent, you can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing before withdrawal.
