Privacy Policy

Last Updated:  April 25, 2024

Forj Software, Inc. (“Forj“, “we“, “our” or “us“) develops and operates a community management platform (the “Platform“), used by various organizations, businesses and community organizers to manage and engage with members of their communities (“Communities“).

We also maintain and operate the website http://www.mobilize.io, its subdomains and its related features, such as our blog and newsletters (collectively, the “Site“) as well as the Forj mobile application (the “App“), and access to the Platform is made possible through both (the Platform, together with the Site and App – the “Services“). 

This Privacy Policy describes the personal data we typically receive or collect whenever someone visits our Site or installs and opens our App (a “Visitor“), creates (“Owner“), manages (“Manager”), or joins (“Member“) a Community, or uses the Platform and engages with other Members of the Community via the various communication features available via the Services. It also describes how and for which purposes we may use such data, where we store and for how long we retain it, with whom we may share it, our use of tracking technologies and communications, our security practices, your choices and rights (whether you are an Owner, Manager, Member or Visitor, “you“) regarding such data, our roles with respect to your data, and how to contact us if you have any concerns regarding this Policy or your Privacy.

We strongly urge you to read this Notice and make sure that you fully understand and agree to it. If you do not agree to this Notice, please discontinue and avoid using our Services.

You are not legally required to provide us with any Personal Data, but without it we will not be able to provide you with the full range or with the best experience when using our Services.

Data Collection

We collect data regarding users of our platform, as well as visitors to our site and app.

Such data is typically collected and generated through your interaction with our services, through automatic means, or directly from you or your community owner or manager.

We collect the following categories of data, which, to the extent, it may enable the identification of a specific person, or is linked to such identifying data, we will deem it as “Personal Data”:

  1. Data automatically collected or generated: when someone visits, interacts with, or uses our Services, including any e-mail or text messages sent to them via our Services, we may collect certain technical data about them. We collect or generate such data either independently or with the help of third-party services (as detailed below), including through the use of “cookies” and other tracking technologies (as further detailed below). Such data mainly consists of technical and aggregated usage data, such as IP address, non-identifying data regarding a device, operating system and browser, and user activity on our Services. It does not enable us to learn a person’s true identity or contact details and serves mostly so we could better understand how our users typically use our Services and how we could improve their user experience, our marketing campaigns and engagements, and the overall performance of our Services.
  2. Data received from you: you may provide us Personal Data when you create your account and Community user profile (as an Owner, Manager, or Member), such as your name, workplace or community role, contact details (such as e-mail, phone, and address), profile image, location, gender, account login details (such as usernames and hashed passwords) (collectively, “Account Data”), as well as any other data you choose to provide when you visit our Services, post and share content with your Community or other Managers or Members, or when you contact us. Owners may also provide us additional Account Data in order to complete their selected transaction (such as their credit card number and related account and billing information, which we may update from time to time should you grant us permission to bill you for recurring charges), as well as their Community’s information and preferences. To the extent that such information concerns a non-human entity (e.g., a company or business), we do not regard it as “Personal Data” and this Policy shall not apply to it. As the Platform enables Owners and Managers to require or ask their Members to submit additional Personal Data, and as Owners, Managers, and Members may choose to submit additional Personal Data and share it with their Community or certain other Members, the list above is not exhaustive. We will, however, indicate on the Platform, for each Personal Data parameter, if it is “required” or “optional” for either the adequate performance of our Services or per the Community Owner’s or Manager’s requirements.  When you submit information, you are transferring such information into the United States and you hereby consent to such transfer and have gained the necessary consent to do so.
  3. Member Data received from Community Owners and Managers: Community Owners and Managers may use the Platform to add and invite Members to their Community. When doing so, they may already submit such Members’ Personal Data as listed in paragraph 2 above, in whole or in part. Any Community Owner and Manager doing so are solely responsible to ensure the legal basis and authority for processing such Personal Data, its accuracy and completeness, and for providing sufficient notice and choice to their Members regarding the use of their data. The Community Owner is the “Data Controller” of such data, and Forj solely acts as their “Data Processor” (as such roles are further explained below).
  4. Data from Other Sources:  We may receive information about you from other sources, including publicly available databases or third parties from whom we have purchased data, and combine this data with information we already have about you.  This helps us to update, expand and analyze our records, identify new customers, and provide products and services that may be of interest to you.  If you provide us personal information about others, or if others give us your personal information, we will only use that personal information for the specific reason for which it was provided to us.
  5. All data is stored in the US.

Using Personal Data

We use personal data (a) in order to provide and improve our Services including services that display posts, account information, documents, reports, and communications such as emails (b) in accordance with our contractual obligations towards community owners; (c) to contact our visitors and users; (d) in order to comply with applicable laws, the Agreement and our policies, (e) to contact our Visitors, our Owners and their Managers and Members, with general or personalized service-related messages (such as password-retrieval or billing) or with promotional messages (such as newsletters, webinars, new features, etc.); and (e) to create aggregated statistical data, inferred non-personal data or anonymized or pseudonymized data (rendered non-personal), which we or our business partners may use to provide and improve our respective services.‍

Sharing Personal Data

We may share your data with certain third parties, including certain service providers, law enforcement agencies, and our affiliated companies – but only in accordance with this Policy.

Sharing Personal Data with Owners, Managers, and Members of your Community: Once you join a Community, your user profile will be made available to all Owners and their appointed Managers of such Community. All or part of your user profile may also be made available to other Members of a Community you join, according to the discretion of the Owners and Managers of that Community. Please note that Forj is not responsible or controls any further disclosure, use or monitoring by or on behalf of your Community Owners, Managers or Members.‍

Compliance with Laws, Legal Process, and Authorities: We may disclose or allow government and law enforcement officials access to certain Personal Data, in response to a subpoena, search warrant, or court order (or similar requirement), or in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including for national security purposes. Such disclosure or access may occur with or without notice to you if we have a good faith belief that we are legally compelled to do so, or that disclosure is appropriate in connection with efforts to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding actual or suspected illegal activity, fraud, or other wrongdoing.

Service Providers: We may engage selected third party companies and individuals to perform services complementary to our own (e.g. hosting and server co-location services, data analytics services, marketing agencies and advertising services, data and cybersecurity services, fraud detection and prevention services, payment processing services, user engagement services, e-mail distribution, and monitoring services, session recording, remote access services, and our business, legal, financial and privacy advisors) (collectively, “Service Providers“). These Service Providers may have access to your Personal Data, depending on each of their specific roles and purposes in facilitating and enhancing our Services, and may only use it for such purposes. Forj remains responsible and liable for any Personal Data processing done by Service Providers on its behalf, other than for events outside of its reasonable control.

Third-Party Integrations: The Services may allow you to integrate with certain third-party services, in which case you will be bound by the terms of service and privacy notices of said third parties – so please make sure you read and accept them. We do not receive or store your passwords for any of these third-party services.

Protecting Rights and Safety: We may share your Personal Data with others, with or without notice to you, if we believe in good faith that this will help protect the rights, property or personal safety of Forj, any of our users or any members of the general public.

Forj Subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies: We may share Personal Data internally within our family of companies, for the purposes described in this Policy. In addition, should Forj or any of its affiliates undergo any change in control, including by means of merger, acquisition or purchase of substantially all of its assets, your Personal Data may be shared with the parties involved in such event. If we believe that such change in control might materially affect your Personal Data then stored with us, we will notify you of this event and the choices you may have via e-mail and/or a prominent notice on our Services.

For the removal of doubt, Forj may share your Personal Data in additional manners, pursuant to your explicit approval, or if we are legally obligated to do so, or we have successfully rendered such data non-personal and anonymous. We may transfer, share, or otherwise use non-personal data at our sole discretion and without the need for further approval.‍

Forj will only collect, use, and disclose information as described in this privacy policy. Forj will not disclose personal information to third parties without the consent of the individual whose information is being transferred. In such case Forj will offer individuals the opportunity to choose (opt-out) whether their personal information is (a) to be disclosed to a non-agent third party, or (b) to be used for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was originally collected or subsequently authorized by the individual. Forj will provide individuals with reasonable mechanisms to exercise their choices.

Links to Other Websites

Our website includes links to other websites whose privacy practices may differ from those of Forj.  If you submit information to any of those sites, your information is governed by their privacy policies. We encourage you to carefully read the privacy policy of any website you visit.

Using Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and certain service providers may use cookies and similar tracking technologies throughout our services. These technologies are used mostly for stability, security, functionality, performance, and marketing purposes.

Our Services and some of our Service Providers utilize “cookies”, anonymous identifiers, and other tracking technologies which help us provide and improve our Services, personalize your experience and monitor the performance of our activities and campaigns. A “cookie” is a small text file that is used, for example, to collect data about activity on our Site. Some cookies and other technologies serve to recall Personal Data, such as an IP address, previously indicated by the user. While we do not change our practices in response to a “Do Not Track” signal in the HTTP header from a browser or mobile application, most browsers allow you to control cookies, including whether or not to accept them and to remove them. You may set most browsers to notify you if you receive a cookie, or you may choose to block cookies with your browser.

Cookie Policy

Forj uses certain monitoring and tracking technologies, such as cookies, beacons, pixels, tags, and scripts (collectively, “Cookies”). These technologies are used in order to maintain, provide and improve our website and services, and in order to provide our users with a better experience (for instance in order to track users’ preferences, to better secure our services, to identify technical issues, and to monitor and improve the overall performance of our services).

This page contains information on what Cookies are, the Cookies used on our services, how to switch Cookies off in your browser, and some useful links for further reading on the subject. If it does not provide the information you were looking for, or you have any further questions about the use of Cookies on our services, please email privacy@forj.ai.

What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser (for example, Google Chrome or Safari) on your computer or mobile device. They allow websites to store things like user preferences. You can think of Cookies as providing a ‘memory’ for the website so that it can recognize you when you come back and respond appropriately.

How does Forj use Cookies?

Performance Cookies: This type of cookie remembers your preferences for tools found on the services, so you don’t have to re-set them each time you visit.

Analytics Cookies: Every time someone visits our services, analytics services we use generate Cookies which can tell us whether or not you have visited the services in the past, and provide additional information regarding how our users use our services (such as regarding where users tend to click on our services). Your browser will tell us if you have these Cookies and, if you don’t, we generate new ones. This allows us to track how many individual users we have and how often they visit the services. Unless you are signed in to our services, we cannot use these Cookies to identify individuals. We use them to gather statistics. For example, the number of visits to a page.

Registration Cookies: When you register and sign in to our Services, we generate Cookies that let us know whether you are signed in or not. Our servers use these Cookies to work out which account you are signed in with and if you are allowed access to a particular service. While you are signed in to our services, we combine information from your registration Cookies with analytics Cookies, which we could use to identify which pages you have seen.

Advertising Cookies: These Cookies allow us to know whether or not you’ve seen an ad or a type of ad, how you interacted with such ad and how long it is since you’ve seen it. We also use Cookies to help us use targeted advertising. We may use Cookies set by another organization, so we can more accurately target advertising to you. We also set Cookies on certain other sites that we advertise on. If you receive one of those Cookies, we may then use it to identify you as having visited that site if you later visit our services. We can then target our advertising based on this information.

Third-Party Integration Cookies: On some pages of our services, other organizations may also set their own cookies. They do this to track the performance of their applications that are integrated with our services, or to customize their services for you. Because of how cookies work, our website cannot access these cookies, nor can the other organization access the data in cookies we use on our services.

Cookies Source & Description

Twilio Segment: We use Segment services to analyze user action when visiting our website.  This makes navigating and interacting with our websites more efficient, easy and meaningful for the user.

Some web browsers may transmit Do Not Track signals to websites with which the browser communicates, telling the site not to follow its online movements. Because of differences in how web browsers interpret this feature, it is not always clear whether Users intend for these signals to be transmitted, or whether they are even aware of them. Therefore, we currently do not respond to such Do Not Track signals.

Communications

We or our partners may send promotional communications, that you can easily opt-out of receiving. We may also contact you with service-related communications. You will not be able to opt-out of receiving such communications.

Service Communications: we may contact you with important information regarding our Services.

If you wish not to receive such promotional communications, you may notify Forj at any time by emailing us at support-community@forj.ai or by following the “unsubscribe”, “stop” or “change e-mail preferences” instructions contained in the promotional communications you receive.‍

Behavioral Targeting / Re-Targeting:  We partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites.

If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising.
