Information requirements according to GDPR
Version: 2025
“MFE” (MFE Formwork Technology, Lot 4 & 6, Jalan Tun Perak 3, Perdana Industrial Park, 42000 Port Klang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia; responsible party pursuant to GDPR) takes the protection of personal data seriously. That is why MFE processes personal data independently pursuant to the requirements of the applicable legislation, especially pursuant to the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and Council dated 27 April 2016 on the protection of natural persons when processing personal data in relation to the free movement of data (“GDPR”).
“Personal data” is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person such as name, address, email address and IP address.
The aim of this statement is to inform the visitor (also referred to hereinafter as “you” or “your”) about the purpose and scope of processing personal data on the following “websites”, whereby the individual websites do not always use all the cookies or applications listed here and also have their own privacy statements:
MFE processes personal data on its websites based on your consent (use of cookies for analysis and promotional purposes; see below for opt-out and establishing contact via the form or by email).
Your data is generally not sent to third parties (processors) unless we are legally obligated to do so, it is necessary to forward data to meet our contractual obligations or you have expressly consented to your data being forwarded in advance.
If you use our websites solely for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or transmit information another way, we will only collect personal data that is sent from your browser. If you visit our websites, we will collect the data listed below that is required by us for technical reasons to display the websites and to ensure their stability and security: IP address and IP location, date and time of the query, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (certain page), access status/HTTP status code, transferred data volume, website which the request comes from, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software, number, duration and time of visits, search engines and keywords that were used, browser type, screen size and operating system.
Please refer to “Use of cookies” on how to use cookies.
We also add links on our websites to other websites; this is only done for information purposes. These websites are not under our control and therefore do not come under the provisions of this privacy statement. If you access a link, it is possible for the operator of these websites to collect data about you and to process this data pursuant to his privacy statement which may differ from our version.
In general, personal data transmitted by your browser and obtained by MFE in purely informational use of our website (logfiles) are retained for a period of 3 months. Beyond this period, logfiles are stored in our systems only for the purpose of investigating irregularities or security incidents.
In general, MFE stores your personal data only for as long as is necessary for the fulfilment of the purpose for which they were obtained. Therefore, in consequence MFE stores your data for the duration of our contractual relationship or provision of goods and services relationship with you. Beyond this period, MFE stores your personal data to fulfil legal obligations for retention of records (e.g. to fulfil the 7-year obligation to retain records in accordance with the applicable stipulations of tax and corporate law). Insofar as necessary, MFE can also retain your data for as long as the period of limitation for potential legal claims against MFE has not expired; for certain claims the statutory period of limitation can be up to 30 years.
Personal data are either deleted or anonymized as soon as no reasonable grounds for further storage exist.

Use of cookies and applications from third-party providers
Cookies are also stored on the visitor’s access device when using the websites. Cookies are small files that enable specific information relating to the access device (PC, smartphone, etc.) to be stored on said device. On the one hand, they make websites more user-friendly and help the user (e.g. storage of login details) and, on the other hand, they are used to record statistical data on website usage and to analyse this data with the aim of improving the range of services. Users can have an influence over the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option that enables the storage of cookies to be limited or prevented completely. However, it is important to note that the use and especially the ease of use will be restricted without cookies.
Our website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and function of which are explained below:
Transient cookies:
Transient cookies are deleted automatically when you close your browser. These mainly include session cookies. They store what is referred to as a session ID, which can allocate different requests from your browser to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognised when you return to our websites. These session cookies will be deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies:
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period which may differ depending on the cookie. However, you can delete the cookies yourself at all times in your browser settings. They help to improve user-friendliness (displaying content that is suitable for the location) and can be used to analyse websites (see “Google Analytics”). Integrated plug-ins (see below) also employ cookies to carry out their services.
Applications of third-party providers:
Application:
Google Analytics
Provider:
Google LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (“Google”)
Description:
These websites use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, text files, that are stored on a computer and which enable an analysis to be carried out on the use of the websites. The information generated by the cookie on the use of these websites is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If the IP anonymisation is activated on these websites (_gat._anonymizeIp), the Google IP address will be truncated in advance within the EU Member States or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional circumstances. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of these websites to assess website use, to compile reports on website activities and to provide services to the website operator associated with website and Internet use. The IP address sent by the browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The storage of cookies can be prevented by setting the browser software accordingly; but we would like to point out that it may not be possible to use all functions of these websites in their entirety in this case. The recording of data generated by the cookie and relating to website use (incl. your IP address) in Google and the processing of this data by Google may also be prevented by installing a browser plug-in.
Google offers a deactivation add-on for the most popular browsers, which offers more control over which data from Google is entered onto the websites that are accessed. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that no information will be sent to Google Analytics on the website visit. However, the deactivation add-on for the Google Analytics browser does not prevent information being sent to MFE or other web analysis services that may be employed.
The following Google cookies are placed on our websites:
“_ga” This cookie is used by Google Analytics to distinguish between website visitors and to track site visits and the duration of the site visits, expiry 2 years; (Functional & Statistics)

Tags are pieces of code, such as HTML or JavaScript, that are used on the website for analysis or marketing purposes. This can be a social media plugin, a tracking pixel or something similar. The Google Tag Manager, which only implements tags, does not use cookies and therefore no personal data is collected. The tool activates other tags, which may in turn collect data.

Application:
Google reCAPTCHA, version 3 (v3)
Provider:
Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
Description:
MFE uses a service called reCAPTCHA v3, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, on this website to protect against malicious attacks (e.g. DDoS attacks) by non-human visitors (i.e. bots) and to prevent spam. This service checks whether a specific action on the MFE website, such as inputting data into a form, is carried out by a natural person or by an automated computer program (e.g. spam software). The use of reCAPTCHA v3 means your browser will initiate a connection to Google’s servers. MFE wishes to point out that this service may entail the transmission of personal data to Google LLC in the USA and it is not possible to exclude this possibility.
reCAPTCHA v3 is integrated into our website using JavaScript and analyses user behaviour by transmitting data to Google’s servers, such as the user’s IP address, information about their operating system, the referrer URL, cookies (Marketing) including IDE, 1P_JAR, ANID, CONSENT, NID and DV, date and language settings, all JavaScript objects, screen resolution, mouse movements, keystrokes and the duration of the user’s visit to the website. If the user is also logged into a Google user account at the time of their visit to the MFE website, Google may allocate the user’s visit to the MFE website to their user behaviour. In addition, Google may send further cookies to the user’s browser. The above list of browser and user data is by no means exhaustive. Google reCAPTCHA analyses and the entire recognition process takes place completely in the background.
MFE does not gain any precise knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Google and his no ability to further restrict the transmission of data to Google and its partners. Google may save data as user profiles and use it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or to display its website in line with users’ needs. This analysis is carried out in particular for the purpose of displaying targeted advertisements (even for users not logged in to a Google account).
Revoking your consent:
By using the MFE website, you give your consent to the automatic collection, processing and use of data by Google. If you do not want MFE to use this service, we recommend contacting MFE using the contact details provided on the respective website. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles, which could be created if a user is logged in to a Google account. You will need to contact Google to exercise this right.
MFE wishes to indicate that the use of reCAPTCHA v3 is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy). You can find further information about reCAPTCHA at https://www.google.com/recaptcha.
MFE points out that the user has rights pursuant to GDPR in relation to the processing of his/her personal data, in particular the right:
