Consent Storage
We use an external service called ConsentsDB to securely store records of visitors’ consents. This service helps us demonstrate compliance with data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). ConsentsDB acts as a data processor on behalf of our website and processes only the information necessary to store and manage records of consent.
- Purpose of Processing: ConsentsDB is used to keep verifiable proofs of consent in case they are needed for audits, investigations, user complaints, or legal proceedings related to privacy.
- Data Collected: When you use our website and provide or withdraw consent, ConsentsDB collects:
- A unique, random identifier of the consent – also stored in a necessary cookie on this browser
- The date and time of your consent,
- The country in which the consent was provided (if it can be determined)
- A copy of the privacy policy that you agreed to
- A copy of the texts in the consent banner that you interacted with
- A copy of the privacy-related settings of tracking tools used on this website
- Data Storage and Retention: Consent data is stored on secure servers located in France for a period of 24 months.
- Lawful Basis: The processing of this information is necessary for compliance with our legal obligations under the GDPR (Article 6(1)(c)) and for our legitimate interest in demonstrating that valid consent was obtained (Article 6(1)(f)).
- Data Sharing: ConsentsDB acts as a data processor on our behalf and processes data only under our instructions and for the purposes described in its Privacy Policy. It does not use the collected information for its own purposes. ConsentsDB does not share personal data with other entities.
Forms & Popups
If you submit a form on faiip.com you will be opting in for us to save your name, email address and other relevant information. This data is stored locally on faiip.com and is used to notify you about our services or content.
We use the tool Popup Maker which sets anonymous cookies to prevent visitors from seeing the same popup repetitively, in an attempt to make the experience more pleasant while still delivering time sensitive messaging. Popup Maker also anonymously tracks popup views and conversions. The information is retained in the local database indefinitely for analytic tracking purposes and for future export. Data can be exported or removed upon your request via the existing Exporter or Eraser. If syncing data to a third-party service, data is retained there until unsubscribed or deleted. Popup Maker does not send any personal data outside of the Website by default.
