We are delighted that you have shown interest in Forthgreen’s services, provided through our website, media forms, mobile sites, and applications collectively referred to as the “Platform.” Data protection is a high priority for us at Forthgreen. The use of our Platform is possible without providing personal data; however, if you wish to use special services via our Platform, processing personal data may become necessary. When such processing is necessary and there is no legal basis for it, we generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as names, addresses, email addresses, or telephone numbers, is conducted in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other applicable data protection regulations. This declaration informs the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. It also informs data subjects of their rights.
As the data controller, Forthgreen has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the complete protection of personal data processed through our Platform. However, Internet-based data transmissions can have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
Our data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR. To ensure clarity, we first explain the terminology used in this document:
Personal Data: Any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject).
Data Subject: Any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
Processing: Any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, storage, use, disclosure, etc.
Restriction of Processing:Marking stored personal data to limit its processing in the future.
Profiling: Automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects.
Pseudonymization: Processing personal data in a way that it can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information.
Controller: The entity that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.
Processor: A person or entity that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient: A person or entity to whom personal data is disclosed.
Third Party: Any person or entity other than the data subject, controller, processor, and those authorized to process personal data.
Consent: Any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes regarding data processing.
The controller for the GDPR and other data protection laws is:
