Passive Information Collection and Use

As you navigate around this Site, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information), using various technologies. We passively collect and use information in a variety of ways, including:

1. Through your browser and Device: Certain information is collected by most browsers, such as your computer type (Windows, Mac or Linux ), screen resolution, operating system version, and Internet browser type and version. We collect Device-specific information (such as your hardware model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers). We may associate your device identifiers or phone number with your FormFire account.

2. Cookies: Like many websites, we use technology, such as cookies, that allow us to make your visit to our website easier by recognizing you when you return and help to provide you with a customized experience. Cookies are pieces of information stored directly on the computer you are using. Cookies allow us to collect information such as browser type, time spent on this Site, pages visited, and language preferences. We and our service providers use the information for security purposes, to facilitate navigation, and display information more effectively. In addition, we use cookies to gather statistical information about Site usage in order to continually improve its design and functionality, understand how individuals use it, and to assist us with resolving questions regarding it.

If you set your browser to reject cookies, part of the Site may not work for you.

3. Pixel tags, web beacons, clear GIFs, or other similar technologies: These may be used in connection with some Site pages to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and compile statistics about Site usage and response rates. 
4. IP Address: Your IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are using by your Internet Service provider. An IP Address is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever a user visits this Site, along with the time of the visit and the page(s) that were visited. Collecting IP Addresses is standard practice on the Internet and is done automatically by many web sites. We use IP Address for purposes such as calculating Site usage levels, helping diagnose server problems, and administering the Site.
5. Do Not Track Requests: Your selection of the “Do Not Track” option provided by your browser may not have any effect on our collection of cookie information for analytic and internal purposes. The only way to completely opt out of the collection of any information through cookies or other tracking technology is to actively manage the settings on your browser or Device to delete and disable cookies and other tracking/recording tools. Please note, depending on your type of Device or browser, it may not be possible to delete or disable all tracking mechanisms on your Device.

We protect your information

We work to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration by using industry-recognized security safeguards. We use both internal and external resources to review our security procedures. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information.

How We Use and Disclose Personal Information

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide as described in this Policy. The information may be disclosed for a business purpose to the following categories of third parties:

1. To contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are bound by contractual obligations to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them;
2. To third parties to market their products or services to you if you have consented to these disclosures. We contractually require these third parties to keep personal information confidential and use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them; and
3. To our affiliates for our related business purposes. We use and disclose personal information you provide to us as described to you at the point of collection, such as when you (1) register for a user account, (2) submit payment credit card information, (3) submit your name and e-mail address to receive updates and marketing information, and (4) send e-mail messages or feedback, or transmit other information by e-mail. When you elect to engage in such activities, we may ask that you provide us personal information, such as your first and last name, mailing address, e-mail address, mobile telephone numbers, and payment information.

We also use and transfer personal information from or about you:

1. To respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests, such as to send you documents you request or e-mail;
2. To send you important information regarding our relationship with you or regarding this Site, changes to our terms, conditions, and policies, and/or other administrative information;
3. For our business purposes, such as marketing new or additional products and services, data analysis, audits, developing new products or services, enhancing our Site, improving our products and services, identifying Site usage trends, and determining the effectiveness of our Site;

6. To a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings); and

We also use and disclose information we collect passively as described above, under "Passive Information Collection and Use," and for any other purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law (for example, if we are required to treat such information as personal information). In addition, we may use and disclose information that is not in personally identifiable form (such as anonymized, masked or de-identified information) for any purpose. If we combine information that is not in personally identifiable form with information that is (such as combining your name with your geographical location), we will treat the combined information as personal information as long as it is combined.

More about how we protect your information

We protect the confidentiality and security of your personal information by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls, coupled with carefully developed security procedures and Internet security providers to protect your information from loss, misuse, or unauthorized alteration. Our employees are trained and required to safeguard your information and, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards, we restrict access to personal information to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use internal and external resources to review the adequacy of our security procedures.

Although they may be difficult to identify, you may receive hoax e-mails (e.g.: “information” e-mails) that look authentic and appear to have been sent by a company you recognize. These e-mails ask you to provide or confirm your sensitive personal information by clicking on links. To entice you, they often claim an urgent or threatening condition concerning your account or offer you a prize.

You should not reply or click on any links in the e-mail or provide any personal information without first verifying that the source of the e-mail is legitimate through some other existing communications channel that you already know.

FormFire does not solicit sensitive customer information via e-mail. If you do receive an e-mail message that appears to come from FormFire that requests such information, please forward it immediately to security@formfire.com so that we can respond quickly to mitigate potential damage.

Personal information will be collected, stored, processed, and transmitted in accordance with FormFire’s established policies and applicable federal, state, local, and foreign laws, rules, and regulations.

The principles of FormFire with respect to the processing of personal information are as follows: (1) personal information will be processed fairly and lawfully, (2) personal information will be collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed for incompatible purposes, (3) personal information collected by FormFire will be adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are collected and processed, (4) personal information collected by FormFire will be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date to the best of our ability, (5) personal information collected by FormFire will be retained as identifiable data for no longer than necessary to serve the purposes for which the personal information was collected, and (6) personal data will be processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures.

If FormFire engages in the processing of personal information for purposes other than those specified in this Policy, FormFire will provide notice of these changes, the purposes for which the personal information will be used, and the recipients of personal information.

More about our relationships with third parties

Sometimes, we enter into contracts with third parties (e.g., Security Testing, Secure Data Housing, and Secure Data Disposal) who assist us in servicing you. The contracts outline the appropriate use and handling of your information and prohibit third parties from using any of your personal information for purposes unrelated to the service for which they’ve been contracted. Vendors are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information we provide to them. We may disclose or report personal information in limited circumstances where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required under the law. For example, we may be required to disclose personal information to cooperate with regulators or law enforcement authorities, to comply with a legal process such as a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or a law enforcement request.

Should we sell, merge or transfer any part of our business, part of the sale may include the transfer of your personal information. If so, you will have the opportunity to ask not to receive promotional information following any change of control.

We permit third-party advertising partners to use the foregoing tracking technologies to collect information about your browsing activities over time and across different websites when you use the Site. For example, we use advertising services by third-party ad partners, such as Google, to market our service to you on other websites and online services. Through a process called “retargeting,” each service places a cookie on your browser when you visit the Site so that they can identify you and serve you ads on other sites around the web based on your browsing activity. To avoid use of this information for advertising by these third-party ad partners, you can change your browser settings to reject cookies or to notify you when cookies are set and you could select the Do Not Track option on your browser, though we have no control over and cannot confirm whether these third-party ad partners honor the Do Not Track browser signal. Additionally, many advertising companies are members of the NAI or DAA and/or provide opt-outs on those industry pages at networkadvertising.org/choices or aboutads.info/choices.

We utilize Google Analytics on the Site. Google Analytics is a website analysis service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google utilizes the data collected to track and examine the use of this Site, to prepare reports on its activities and share them with other Google services. Google may use the data collected to contextualize and personalize the ads of its own advertising network. For more information on Google’s Privacy Policy go to https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. Users can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking at https://tools/google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. Some additional Google Analytics features that FormFire uses are:

1. Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting – allows FormFire to see the age, gender and interests of website visitors to better understand them and personalize advertising.
2. Google Display Network Impression Reporting – for banner ads.
3. Remarketing through Google Analytics for Display Advertising – allows personalization of ads on our ad networks.
4. User ID Extension for Google Analytics – allows FormFire to connect multiple devices, sessions and engagement data.

We, along with third-party vendors such as Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third-party identifiers together to compile data regarding user interactions with ad impressions and other ad service functions as they relate to our website. Users can set preferences for how Google advertises to you using the Google Ad Settings page. Alternatively, you can opt out by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative Opt Out page or by using the Google Analytics Opt Out Browser add on.

This Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, information, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any site or web property (including, without limitation, any application) that is available through this Site or to which this Site contains a link. The availability of, or inclusion of a link to, any such site or property on this Site does not imply endorsement of it by us or by our affiliates.

Third parties may offer products and services on the Sites and collect information about you by requesting certain information necessary to provide a particular product or service. FormFire may also obtain certain information about its users from third party customer research groups (e.g., demographic information) which FormFire uses to learn more about its customers. FormFire does not control the policies and practices of third parties in relation to the use and disclosure of any information about users collected by third parties on the Site or in market research programs conducted by such third parties and any use or disclosure of such information by third parties is not governed by this Policy.

We give you choices regarding our use and disclosure of your personal information. FormFire provides you with the opportunity to receive information by email, regular mail or telephone calls from FormFire, or third parties which may be of interest to you, including information relating to new products and services offered on the Site by FormFire, or other third parties.
