A. COLLECTION OF INFORMATION

Your Personal Forsbit User Account and Privacy Preferences

Some services offered to users or interactions with the Website and/or Applications require you to register for a user account with Forsbit (“User Account”). When registering for a User Account, Forsbit will ask you to voluntarily supply Forsbit with certain information about yourself, such as your first and last name, phone number and/or e-mail address, which will become part of your Forsbit’s User Profile (“User Profile”). You may also be able to register for a Forsbit User Account through your accounts with certain third party social networking services, including Facebook and/or Twitter (collectively, “SNS”).

The information you provide is used for such purposes as allowing you to set up a User Account and User Profile that can be used to interact with Forsbit and other users through the Applications and/or Website, and share information and content. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities, and therefore to provide us with your personal information.

You are never obligated to provide personal information to us. Keep in mind that if you should choose to withhold certain requested information, we may not be able to provide you with some or all of our services and/or Applications.

If your personal information changes, or if you no longer wish to use our Applications and/or Website, you may correct, delete inaccuracies, or amend information by making the relevant changes to your User Profile within the Forsbit’s Applications or by contacting us at: [email protected].

If you wish to deactivate your personal Account, please contact us [email protected]. When you deactivate your personal account, all information stored and maintained as part of your account, including, without limitation information obtained from your SNS will be deactivated (although some information may be retained for archival, analytics, backup and record purposes).

You may change your personal information at any time by logging into your User Account and making the relevant changes to your User Profile within the Forsbit Applications.

Cookies and Web Beacons

Our Applications and/or Website use “cookie” and “web beacon” technology. “Cookies” are short pieces of data generated by a web server or mobile application that a Applications and/or Website stores on a user’s device. Applications and/or Website may require the use of a cookie for purposes of keeping information you enter on multiple pages toher. Cookies also enable us to customize our Applications and/or Website and offerings to your needs and provide you with a better online experience with us. In addition, cookies are used to:

measure usage of various pages on our Applications and/or Website to help us make our information more pertinent to your needs and easy for you to access; and
provide functionality such as online orders, our Applications and/or Website and other functionality that we believe would be of interest and value to you.

The types of cookies that we use are referred to as “session” cookies and “persistent” cookies. Session cookies are temporary and are automatically deleted once you stop using the Applications and/or Website. Persistent cookies remain on your hard drive of your device until you delete them. Cookies do not, under ordinary circumstances, corrupt or damage your device, programs, or files.

In addition, Third Party Materials’ providers may use session and persistent cookies or other means to track the number of times the Applications and/or Website are accessed, whether Applications and/or Website was accessed from an advertisement or gather other information about you or your interaction with the Applications and/ or Website.

Beacons are used in combination with cookies to help website and mobile applications’ operators understand how visitors interact with their online Applications and/or Website. A beacon is typically a transparent graphic image (usually 1 pixel x 1 pixel). In contrast to cookies, which are stored on a user’s hard drive, beacons are embedded invisibly on online pages and are about the size of the period at the end of this sentence. These beacons are not tied to personally identifiable information. The use of beacons allows the Applications to measure the actions of the visitor using the application that contains the beacon. It makes it easier to follow and record the activities of a recognized browser, such as the path of visited pages and/or applications. We use the information provided by beacons to develop a better understanding of how our users use Applications and/or Website, and to facilitate those users’ interactions with Applications and/or Website. We may make the aggregate data obtained from analytics (including from our third party analytics providers, if applicable) publicly available. If this data is made available, none of the information will be personally identifying information or potentially-personally identifying information.

Please note that in order to provide our Applications, Forsbit may share your geolocation with other users. Our use of location-specific information enables you to use our services in the most effective way. When you use our location-specific Website or Applications, we collect and process information about your actual location, via GPS signals sent by your mobile device to our servers. We may also use other technologies to determine location, based on nearby Wi-Fi access points, satellites, or cell towers.
