Privacy Policy

​

Fortem Pro™ has changed how it uses your Personal Information. Those changes are highlighted below in bold text. 

 

Protecting your Privacy

Fortem Pro™ America, LLC. ("Fortem Pro™" or "we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to those Fortem Pro U.S. websites that display or link to this Policy (referred to in this Policy as the "Website"). This Policy also applies to other U.S. services, including stores, that display or link to these terms. It does not apply to those Fortem Pro™ sites, services and products that have their own privacy policies. This Policy describes the information we collect and how we use and disclose it. By visiting our Website and using our services, you are accepting the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Website or the relevant services.

 

Consent to Collection and Processing

The Website and our services may be operated, in whole or in part, from a country other than the United States. You consent to having your personal information transferred to and processed outside of the United States.

 

What Information do we collect and store?

Our privacy policy is simple: Except as disclosed below, we don't sell, trade, give away, or rent your personal information to any company outside of the Fortem Pro™ Group. One of the basic principles we've tried to follow is to limit the information we collect from and share about you. 

Personal Information

We collect and store information that you provide to us, including through the Website or our Customer Service Department or that we receive from third parties (such as companies providing commercially available databases). 

 

For example, when you place an order, we collect and store some or all of the following information that you provide: name, billing address, shipping address, email address, telephone number, and credit card number and expiration date. If you sign up for an Fortem Pro™ account, which allows you to use the same sign-in details anywhere in the world, we will ask for your name, e-mail address, date of birth and password. If you select to be logged in persistently, basic profile information like e-mail, first name, last name and a unique identifier for your account will be stored for up to 30 days in the browser that was used for the login. We will also collect the following additional information, if you choose to provide it when you sign-up for an account: telephone number, gender, personal preferences, social identifier if you choose to log in to your account via social media and age. If you choose to apply certain discount codes when making purchases, we may store the information associated with that code – which may include, for example, a school or veteran status, and connect that information with your profile.  We collect your e-mail addresses and zip code if you subscribe to our newsletter and we collect your mobile number if you opt in to receive text messages. You may unsubscribe at any time by following the instructions located within each newsletter or linked to each text message. We also collect and store your geolocation information. Registration may be required and personal information collected in certain areas of the Website in which you specifically and knowingly provide such information, e.g. community postings (i.e., chat or bulletin boards), suggestions, or customer service requests. 

 

If you participate in a contest or sweepstakes relating to the Fortem Pro™ Club or our Website, we may collect the following information to administer the sweepstakes: your contact information, your product size information, your preferences, your location, information associated with your Fortem Pro™ Club membership and other information you provide to us.

 

When we run a contest or sweepstakes relating to our Website, it will be accompanied by a set of rules. The rules for each contest/sweepstakes will specify how the information gathered from you for entry will be used and disclosed, if it is different than as described in this Policy. Personal information will be collected only if you voluntarily submit it to our sponsors or us.

 

Usage Information

Through your use of our Website, we may also gather certain information about your use of our Website ("Usage Information"). Generally, this information is collected through "traffic data". We collect and store certain other information automatically whenever you interact with our Website. For example, we collect your IP address, browser information and reference site domain name every time you visit our Website. We also collect information regarding customer traffic patterns and site usage. This information is used to analyze and improve our Website, to provide our customers with a fulfilling shopping experience, and to personalize the Website, our communications with you, and your shopping experience.

 

How do we use cookies, advertising, and online tracking?

Like many websites, we use "cookies", files stored on your computer's hard drive by your browser to identify account holders and to optimize their shopping experience. Cookies also allow us to hold selections in a shopping cart when a user leaves this Website without checking out and send you reminder e-mail about your shopping orders and other shopping opportunities. Most browsers accept cookies automatically but allow you to disable them. We recommend that you leave cookies "turned on" so that we can offer you a better shopping experience. You may occasionally get cookies from companies advertising on our behalf to tailor advertisements shown to you for goods and services. We do not control these cookies, and these cookies are not subject to our Website. Our systems do not recognize browser “Do Not Track” signals, but several of our service providers who utilize these cookies and other tracking technologies on our Website enable you to opt out of this type of advertising.

We may use your personal information to provide the products and services that you have ordered or requested, to process and ship orders, to provide customer service, to provide other services to you, to detect fraudulent activities, and to personalize the Website, our communications with you, and your shopping experience. For example, when you create an Fortem Pro™ account, you can use your account details to log in from any location and on any device. The global single sign-on for your account will allow Fortem Pro™ systems to identify you wherever you are, so you will not need to register with us again if you sign in from a different country. In addition, if you select to be logged in persistently, we will store your basic profile information like e-mail, first name, last name and a unique identifier for up to 30 days in the browser that was used for the login.  Your information also may be used to contact you about sales, new products, new site features, special offers, and personalized offers based on your location, unless you have opted to not receive promotional communications. The information we collect may be combined with information obtained from companies within the Fortem Pro Group and from other companies. We may also combine this information with other information we collect as you interact with our brand across apps, social media and marketing messages we send you. Aggregating data allows Fortem Pro™ to update and correct the information contained in our database and to provide you with product recommendations and special offers.
