Our policy is to use the information we acquire from visitors to our sites for internal purposes only, and we maintain appropriate security measures to keep this information private. The only exception is “Postings” which is discussed above. Your browser, however, does automatically tell us the type of computer and operating system you are using. Users can visit the site without revealing any information about themselves. If one chooses to give us personal information via the Internet for the purposes of correspondence, processing an order, or providing a subscription to a publication, then it is our intent to let you know how we will use such information. If users tell us that they do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact, we will respect those wishes. We do keep track of the domains from which people visit us. We analyze this data for trends, insights and statistics, and then we discard it. Information may be maintained on an opt in basis only for receipt of communication and products from ForHearts Worldwide. Only users of 13 years or older can opt in. ForHearts takes precautions to keep the user information disclosed to us secure, and such information will not be disclosed to third parties for commercial purposes. To prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to ensure the appropriate use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect. ForHearts uses SSL encryption for all financial transactions to protect personal information.

Statement of Non-Sharing for Mobile Numbers, Message Frequency, and Data Rates Disclosure:

This statement outlines our practices regarding the collection, usage, and disclosure of mobile numbers, message frequency, and the associated costs related to messaging services. Please read this statement carefully to understand how we handle this information.

Collection and Usage of Mobile Numbers:

When you provide us with your mobile number, either through our website, mobile application, or any other means, we will only use it for the specific purposes outlined in this privacy policy. We collect mobile numbers solely to facilitate communication with you, such as sending important updates, notifications, promotional offers, and other relevant information related to our products or services.

Sharing of Mobile Numbers:

We do not share your mobile number with any third parties without your explicit consent, except in the following circumstances:

  • If required by law, legal process, or government request, we may be obligated to disclose your mobile number.
  • In case of a merger, acquisition, or any other change in ownership, your mobile number may be transferred to the new entity, but we will notify you beforehand and provide options to opt out if desired.

Message Frequency:

By providing your mobile number and opting in to receive messages from us, you consent to receive periodic communications via text messages or other messaging platforms. The frequency of these messages will vary depending on the nature of the information being sent, such as transactional messages, promotional offers, or service updates. While we strive to maintain a reasonable message frequency, please note that it may vary and you can always opt out of receiving messages by following the instructions provided in the messages or by contacting us directly.

Message and Data Rates:

Standard message and data rates may apply when you receive text messages or other communications from us. These rates are determined by your mobile service provider and are beyond our control. We are not responsible for any charges or fees incurred as a result of receiving messages from us. We recommend checking with your mobile service provider for details on any applicable charges.

Use of Cookies

Certain sections of the ForHearts web site use “cookies” to store user information. A cookie is a small string of text that a web site can send to your browser. A cookie cannot retrieve any other data from your hard drive, pass on computer viruses, or capture your email address. Currently, web sites use cookies to enhance the user’s visit; in general, cookies can securely store a user’s ID and password, personalize home pages, identify which parts of a site have been visited, or keep track of selections in a “shopping cart.” Cookies help us understand which parts of our web sites are the most popular, where our visitors are going, and how long they spend there. We use cookies to study traffic patterns on our site so we can make the site even better. Cookies were originally designed to help a web site distinguish a user’s browser as a previous visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may have been set while the user was browsing the site. If you are just browsing ForHeart’s web site, a cookie identifies only your browser. If you become a registered user on a ForHearts web site (with a user ID and password), we may use cookies so that we can provide personalized information that we believe will be of value to you based on preferences you have indicated while visiting the site. It is possible to set your browser to inform you when a cookie is being placed – this way, you have the opportunity to decide whether to accept the cookie. If you are just browsing our site and are not a registered user, you do not have to accept a cookie and you can still continue browsing the site. However, if you are visiting a site where you will be accessing a confidential account, you must accept that site’s cookies because they are essential for site administration and security.
