For example, many of our services require you to sign up for an account with us. When you do, we’ll ask for personal information, like your name, email address, telephone number or credit card. We may present your name, email address or image to other users in your organization, or otherwise associated with your account in order to assist in sharing or recommendations.

  • Device information – We may collect device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information including phone number). We may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your account.
  • Log information – When you use our services or view content provided by us, we may automatically collect and store certain information in server logs. This may include:

  • Unique application numbers – Certain services include a unique application number. This number and information about your installation (for example, the operating system type and application version number) may be sent to us when you install or uninstall that service or when that service periodically contacts our servers, such as for automatic updates.

How We Use Information

The information supplied will be used to better understand your needs and provide you with a better service especially for the following purposes:

  • For internal and service-related purposes, such as to provide, maintain, protect, improve, and personalize our services, to develop new ones and to protect the rights, property, or safety of SEE Forge and our users;
  • To communicate with you in order to provide you with information we think may be useful or relevant to you;
  • To promote our services and related services;
  • To analyze information in order to offer anonymised data products to third parties;
  • To facilitate the sharing of anonymised information with third parties, including transaction data. An example of anonymised information would be the number of times a template is used or location data, which may be used by those third parties to inform judgments about the organization using the software, but not about any individuals whose data is processed using the software;
  • To enforce the Privacy Policy and our terms and conditions for use of our services and websites;
  • To monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our services and for marketing or advertising purposes or to offer you tailored content;

  • To use the name you provide for your SEE Forge profile across all of the services we offer that require a SEE Forge Account. In addition, we may replace past names associated with your SEE Forge Account so that you are represented consistently across all our services. If other users already have your email, or other information that identifies you, we may show them your publicly visible SEE Forge profile information, such as your name and photo;
  • When you contact us, to keep a record of your communication to help solve any issues you might be facing. We may use your email address to inform you about our services, such as letting you know about upcoming changes or improvements;
  • From cookies and other technologies, to improve your user experience and the overall quality of our services;
  • To combine information from one service, including personal information, into other SEE Forge services – for example to make it easier to share things with people you know;
  • As otherwise stated in this Privacy Policy.
  • To use the information we collect, we may require our systems to access, screen capture, store, video and/or scan your information. Where appropriate or required by data protection laws, we will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.
  • If we merge with or are acquired by another business, we may share your personal information with the new owners of the business and their advisors. We will continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and give affected users notice (for example, via a message to the email address associated with your account) before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information publicly and with our partners – like publishers, advertisers or connected sites. For example, we may share information publicly to show trends about the general use of our services. This could also include government bodies, industry groups, insurers and educational/training facilities.

General Data Protection Regulation

On May 25, 2018, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive.

SEE Forge’s GDPR Policy

SEE Forge is fully committed to the GDPR and respects the privacy rights of its customers and visitors. The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the most significant piece of European privacy legislation in two decades. The GDPR replaces the 1995 EU Data Protection Directive (European Directive 95/46/EC), strengthening the rights that EU individuals have over their data, and creating a uniform data protection law across Europe. All companies operating in or utilizing data emanating from the EU must comply with the GDPR’s regulations by 25 May 2018. The GDPR is a regulatory law. As a law, there is no certification agency, but all companies that store or use an EU citizen’s data are required to comply with the regulation. With thousands of SEE Forge FAT FINGER cloud installations, our customers’ privacy and security have always been one of our top priorities. SEE Forge FAT FINGER’s cloud services provide full compliance with applicable GDPR regulations. We are committed to assisting our customers, the data controllers and processors, with complete security and control over their user’s private data in order for them to meet their GDPR obligations. SEE Forge’s On-Premise solution allows our customers to fulfill their responsibility as both controllers and processors.

Data Protection
