If you contact us via the form on our website or by e-mail, your data will be stored with us for twelve months to process the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not distribute this information without your consent.

We collect the following types of information:

Personal Data- This includes, but is not limited to, your first and last name, email address and any other information you share with us voluntarily.
Usage Data- Information about your visit to our website, including IP address, browser type, pages viewed and interaction with website features.
Data Storage and Cookies
- Our website uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm. We use cookies to make our website user-friendly, analyze traffic, and personalize the content that you see. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them, and they allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

How We Use Your Information

Who We Share Your Information With

Web Analytics & Google Analytics
- Our website uses functions of the web analytics service, Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., located at 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For this purpose, cookies are used to analyze how users interact with the website. The information generated thereby is transmitted to the server of the provider and stored there. You can prevent this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored. We have a corresponding data processing contract with the provider. Your IP address is detected but pseudonymized immediately (e.g., by deleting the last 8 bits). As a result, only a rough localization is possible.
- Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of article 6, paragraph 1, point F of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
- The data processing takes place on the basis of the legal regulations of section 96, paragraph 3 of the TKG as well as article 6, paragraph 1, point A (consent) and/or F (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.
- Our concern in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offers and our website. Since the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized.

Social Plugin

We use the following social plugins on our site:

LinkedIn – microblogging service
YouTube – video-sharing service

These services are provided by the companies Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Twitter Inc., and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company.

Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., located at 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). An overview of the plugins of Facebook and their appearance can be found here.

LinkedIn is operated by the LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Attn: Legal Dept. (Privacy Policy and User Agreement), Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland ("LinkedIn"). You can find the link to LinkedIn's privacy policy here.

Our site uses plugins from YouTube, belonging to Google Inc. As soon as you visit a website with a YouTube plug-in, you will be connected to the servers of YouTube. In doing so, the YouTube server will be informed which specific page of the website you have visited. If you are also logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube would allow you to associate your browsing experience directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this possibility of assignment if you log out of your account beforehand. For more information about YouTube's collection and use of your information under Google, please read the privacy policy here.

If a social plugin is provided as part of the use of the products from our site, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network. The content of the social plugin is thus transmitted directly to the browser and incorporated by the latter into the digital platform provided. Through this integration, the information that the user has provided the corresponding digital platform is forwarded to the social network. If you are logged in to this social network, the social plugin can associate the digital platform call with your account. For example, you confirm the "Like" button on our website or share content. This information is transmitted directly from the browser to the social network and stored there.

For more information on the purpose and extent of the use of data by the social networks and the privacy settings, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social networks above. In order to prevent social networks that use data generated by your use of our site, you must log out of the social networks before accessing the respective digital platform.

Your Rights

In principle, you have the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and opposition. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or if your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can notify the supervisory authority.

Charlotte, NC 28277

Phone: +1 (704) 927-2790

The responsible entity is the natural or legal person who, alone or in connection with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, e-mail addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an existing consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

In the case of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has the right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically, in itself or a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another person in charge, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Rights Under the California Consumer Privacy Act

This section provides additional details about the personal information we collect about California consumers and the rights afforded to them under the California Consumer Privacy Act or “CCPA.”

Subject to certain limitations, the CCPA provides California consumers the right to request to know more details about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect (including how we use and disclose this information), to delete their personal information, to opt out of any “sales” that may be occurring, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

California consumers may make a request pursuant to their rights under the CCPA by contacting us at marketingformtechnologies@formtechnologies.com. We will verify your request using the information associated with your account, including email address. Government identification may be required. Consumers can also designate an authorized agent to exercise these rights on their behalf.

Form Technologies’ GDPR Commitment

We’re committed to helping Form Technologies customers and users understand, and where applicable, comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The GDPR is the most comprehensive EU data privacy law in decades and went into effect on May 25, 2018.

Besides strengthening and standardizing user data privacy across the EU nations, it introduces new or additional obligations on all organizations that handle EU citizens’ personal data, regardless of where the organizations are located.

To comply with EU data protection laws around international data transfer mechanisms, we self-certify under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. These frameworks were developed to establish a way for companies to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the European Union and Switzerland to the United States.

Measures we have implemented include:

Investments in our security infrastructure and certifications
Updates to relevant contractual terms
Commitment to continuously monitoring the guidance around GDPR compliance from privacy-related regulatory bodies, and update our product features and contractual commitments accordingly

We may update this Privacy Statement at any time by posting the updated version on this page. Please review this Privacy Statement periodically for updates.
