From time to time, we may work with social media platforms and search engines, such as LinkedIn, Meta, Reddit, and Google, to deliver targeted ads on their platforms. We do this by: (1) matching our customers and prospects to those who are also users of these platforms; and (2) identifying individuals on these platforms who share common characteristics with our customers and prospects to create targeted audiences for our ads. These audiences may include current customers, prospects, website visitors and Product users. You can review and update how social media platforms use and share your data for these purposes. Please visit your social media platform privacy settings for more information. Metrics collected by these technologies are not used for advertising purposes. We may from time to time run a referral program. If you choose to participate by making a referral in this program, we will handle your Personal Information for the purposes of administering the program.

EEA, Switzerland and UK residents

California Residents
The California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) requires us to disclose information regarding the categories of personal information and sensitive personal information that we have collected about California consumers, the categories of sources from which the information was collected, the business or commercial purposes (as those terms are defined by applicable law) for which the information was collected, and the categories of parties to whom we disclose personal information. As used in this section, “personal information” shall have the meaning set forth in the CCPA.
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we describe the specific pieces of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect, the sources of that information, and how we share it. Under the CCPA, we also have to provide you with the "categories" of personal information and sensitive personal information we collect and disclose for “business or commercial purposes” (as those terms are defined by the CCPA).
In the twelve months leading up to the effective date of this Privacy Policy, we have collected and disclosed the categories of personal information described in When do we collect Personal Information? The categories of personal information are: identifiers (such as name, address, and email address); commercial information (such as transaction data); financial data (such as credit card and other financial account information); internet or other network or device activity (such as IP address); professional or employment-related information (such as your current employer and job title); general location information (such as inferred from an IP address); inference data about you (such as if we derive information about your role within a company); audio and visual information (such as when you call into customer service or visit our offices); and other information that identifies or can be reasonably associated with you.
The categories of sensitive personal information are account log-in and password or other credentials allowing access to your account.
We process the categories of personal information identified above for the purposes as described in more detail in When do we collect Personal Information?
We collect the categories of personal information identified above from the following sources: (1) directly from you; (2) through your use of the Products; and (3) other parties (e.g., other users) and unaffiliated parties.
“Sale” and “Sharing” of Personal Information
The CCPA sets forth certain obligations for businesses that “sell” or “share” personal information. Where we refer to “sell” or “share” (or their variants) in quotes, we are referring to those terms as uniquely defined in the CCPA.
We may use third-party analytics services and online advertising services that may result in the “sharing” of online identifiers and other identifiers (e.g., cookie data, IP addresses, device identifiers, general location information, usage information, email addresses) with analytics partners to help us analyze and understand use of the Site and our Products and to advertise the Products on other websites. In some cases, such practice may also constitute a “sale” of personal information under the CCPA. To opt-out of the “sharing” or “sale” of your personal information, please contact info@fortify.la. For more information, see our Cookies Policy.
Please note that we also respond to and abide by opt-out preference signals sent through the Global Privacy Control. Any opt-out preferences you have exercised through these methods will only apply to the specific device/browser on which you made them. For more information on how to use the Global Privacy Control, see www.globalprivacycontrol.org.
We do not knowingly “sell” or “share” the personal information of children under 16.
Do Not Track Disclosure
We do not respond to browser-initiated Do Not Track signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working on Do Not Track standards, implementations, and solutions. Please note that Do Not Track is a different privacy mechanism than the Global Privacy Control browser choice referenced above.
Retention of Your Personal Information
CCPA Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have certain additional rights. California law may permit you to request that we:
- provide you the categories of personal information we have collected or disclosed about you; the categories of sources of such information; the business or commercial purpose for collecting, “selling,” or “sharing” your personal information; the categories of third parties to whom we disclose or “sell,” or with whom we “share,” personal information; and the categories of personal information we “sell” or “share”
- provide access to and/or a copy of certain information we hold about you
- delete certain information we have about you
- correct inaccurate personal information that we maintain about you
You may also have the right to receive information about the financial incentives that we offer to you, if any, and the right to not be discriminated against (as provided for in applicable law) for exercising certain of your rights.
Some information may be exempt from these rights under applicable law. We may also need certain types of information in order to provide you with our Products, and if you ask us to delete it, you may no longer be able to access or use them. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please submit a request at info@fortify.la. You will be required to verify your identity before we fulfill your request. You can also designate an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. To do so, you must provide us with written authorization or a power of attorney, signed by you, for the agent to act on your behalf. You may still need to verify your identity directly with us.
The CCPA also allows you to limit the use or disclosure of your “sensitive personal information” (as defined in the CCPA) if your sensitive personal information is used for certain purposes. Please note that we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information in ways that create an opt-out right.
Opt-out of Marketing Communications
You can opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can do this by following the opt-out link or instructions contained in any such email or by visiting our website and following the instructions listed there. To opt-out of other forms of marketing, please contact us at info@fortify.la. Please note that it may take a few business days for us to process opt-out requests and we will need to retain your Personal Information on a suppression list to honor the opt-out request. If you opt-out of receiving marketing emails or promotions, we will still send you service-based emails when requested by you or to service your account and emails to facilitate a transaction.
Third-party Links
Our website contains links to third-party websites. Any access to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Privacy Policy, but, instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third-party websites. We are not responsible for the information practices of such third-party websites.
Where your Personal Information is stored and processed
Your Personal Information may be transferred to, and processed in, countries other than the country in which you are a resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country (and, in some cases, may not be as protective) and data may be accessible to law enforcement and national security authorities under certain circumstances. Our website is primarily hosted in the United States of America (USA). By providing us with your Personal Information, you acknowledge the transfer of your information to the USA for storage, use, processing, maintenance, and onward transfer of such information to other entities, regardless of their location. However, such activities will be done in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Third parties that we work with may also process your Personal Information in the USA and/or facilitate the transfer of or access to your Personal Information outside of the USA. We will take steps to require them to process your Personal Information subject to appropriate safeguards.
Data Retention
We retain Personal Information we collect from you for the time necessary for the purposes for which it is processed, including where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements, or as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations.
Children and Minors
Our website and Products are not directed to individuals under the age of 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you become aware that a child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us at info@fortify.la. If we become aware that a child under 18 has provided us with Personal Information, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible as required under applicable laws.
How we protect your Personal Information
We use technical and organizational measures to help safeguard your Personal Information from unauthorized access, use, loss, alteration, destruction, modification or other malicious actions, and take steps to limit access to your Personal Information on a “need to know” basis with those who process it in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We take steps to contractually require our vendors and other third parties with whom we work to protect any Personal Information they process on our behalf.
How to Contact Us
We encourage your questions and comments about any privacy concerns. Please direct any privacy related questions or comments to info@fortify.la. Thank you.
