Collection and processing of personal data

As a rule, you can visit the FVA GmbH site without us requiring your personal data. We will receive only the name of your Internet service provider, the website from which you have accessed our site, and our websites that you visit. This information is used for statistical purposes only and individual visitors remain anonymous. Personal data is collected and processed only for the purpose specified by you, e.g. to order informational materials. This information is transferred in an encrypted form in order to avoid abuse by third parties.

Storage of data submitted in contact forms

Any information provided via inquiries using the contact form, including contact details, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

Consent for advertising

Information provided via registration or contact forms may be used internally for advertising purposes if prior consent is given. You may revoke your consent for the future at any time by sending an e-mail to the address provided below. We will observe limits imposed by data protection and competition laws when using your data for advertising purposes.

Storage of IP addresses

Information about IP addresses will be stored in the respective infrastructure components (in particular, web server/firewall log files) for 30 days for the purpose of generating statistics as well as for security reasons. No link is created between the accessing IP address and personal data in the application. FVA GmbH prepares statistics based on retrievals from their website at regular intervals. In this context, stored IP addresses are used without creating an allocation of user identification or other personal data in the application.

Web analysis using Matomo (formerly Piwik)

On this website we use the software "Matomo" (www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. The software places a cookie (a text file) on your computer to recognize your browser. If subpages of our website are called, the following data are stored:

  • the IP address of the user, shortened by the last two bytes (anonymised)
  • the called subpage and time of the call
  • the page from which the user accessed our website (referrer)
  • which browser with which plugins, which operating system and which screen resolution is used
  • the time spent on the website
  • the pages that are accessed from the bottom of the page that is called up

The data collected with Matomo is stored on our own servers. It will not be passed on to third parties.

Legal basis
The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the DSGVO.

Purpose of data processing
We need the data in order to analyse the surfing behaviour of the users and to obtain information about the use of the individual components of the website. This enables us to constantly optimise the website and its user-friendliness. Our justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO is based on these purposes. By anonymizing the IP address, we take into account the user's interest in the protection of personal data. The data is never used to personally identify the user of the website and is not merged with other data.

Duration of storage
The data is deleted when it is no longer needed for our purposes.
