Declaration of Consent for Participants of the Training Programme for Executives of the Ukrainian Government, financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, on the use of video and photos by the BMWE and GIZ.

GDPR and Art. 49 Para. 1 d) GDPR.

I hereby declare my consent that photos and video recordings in which I am visible and/or audible during my participation in the Programme (digital seminars and trainings, seminars and trainings in Kyiv, the study tour in Berlin, and alumni events):

  • will be made;
  • stored on internal servers and the intranet for upto five years after your participation in the Programme and made accessible to employees of the BMWE and GIZ;

    • Information brochures, flyers, presentations, roll-ups and other promotional materials
    • Promotional videos (hosted on an external video-sharing platform)
    • Other publications and press releases.


Where appropriate, the recordings may be published with the following details:

  • Surname, first name

The declaration of my consent is voluntary. I can refuse it without giving reasons and without having to fear any disadvantages as a result. I am also entitled to the other rights set out in the data protection regulations of BMWE (https://www.bundeswirtschaftsministerium.de/Navigation/EN/Service/Privacy-Policy/privacy-policy.html) and GIZ (www.giz.de/en/html/data_protection.html). I acknowledge that once photos and videos are published, especially on the internet and social media, the BMWE and GIZ can no longer fully guarantee control over their further use and distribution by third parties.

My consent is valid until I revoke it. I can declare this revocation at any later time without giving reasons by telephone, in writing or by e-mail (ua.gov.executives@bmwe.bund.de). The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. If there is another legal basis for the further processing of my data, the BMWE and GIZ are entitled to do so. Otherwise, recordings of me will be deleted upon withdrawal of consent.
