What is personal data?

Personal data is any data that can identify an individual. Someone is identifiable if his or her identity can be established without disproportionate effort. Both data used to directly identify a person (such as name and address) as data used to indirectly identify a person (pseudonymous data, IP addresses etc) count as personal data.

Personal data processed by FMO

FMO processes different categories of personal data in the course of its business activities. We collect personal data through the contact form and complaint form on our website. We also collect personal data via our events module. In addition, if you agree to this, we place cookies in your web browser. Below we inform you briefly what information we collect and for what purpose.

Cookies

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is usually a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user's web browser while a user is browsing a website. When the user browses the same website in the future, the data stored in the cookie can be retrieved by the website to notify the website of the user's previous activity. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember the state of the website or activity the user had taken in the past. This can include clicking particular buttons, logging in, or a record of which pages were visited by the user even months or years ago. Third parties, such as Doubleclick.net, Google Analytics and AddThis, may change cookies or issue cookies other than those listed below.
