This Privacy Policy (hereinafter referred to as the «Policy») is an official document of Fortlinefencing, registered at the address: Tacoma (hereinafter referred to as the «Operator»), and defines the procedure for processing and protecting information about individuals (hereinafter referred to as the «Users») who use the services, information, and functionality of the website located at the domain name fortlinefencing.com (hereinafter referred to as the «Website»).

Maintaining confidentiality is important for the Operator, as the purpose of this Privacy Policy is to ensure the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms during the processing of their personal data, including the right to privacy, personal and family secrets, and protection from unauthorized access and disclosure.

We have developed this Privacy Policy, which describes how we process personal data—any actions (operations) or a set of actions (operations) performed with or without the use of automation tools with personal data, including collection, recording, systematization, accumulation, storage, clarification (updating, modification), retrieval, use, transfer (distribution, provision, access), anonymization, blocking, deletion, and destruction of personal data.

Relationships related to the processing of personal data and information about the Website Users are regulated by this Policy, other official documents of the Operator, and the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

We process personal data on a lawful and fair basis, acting reasonably and in good faith and based on the principles of:

legality of purposes and methods of personal data processing;
good faith;
consistency of the purposes of personal data processing with the purposes previously defined and declared during the collection of personal data, as well as the Operator’s powers;
consistency of the volume and nature of processed personal data, the methods of processing with the purposes of processing.

This Privacy Policy governs any type of processing of personal data and personally identifiable information (any information allowing identification and any related information) about individuals who are consumers of the Operator’s products or services.

This Policy applies to the processing of personal and personally identifiable data collected by any means, both active and passive, via the Internet or otherwise, from persons located anywhere in the world.

II. Collection of Personal Data

The purpose of processing personal data is to fulfill the Operator’s obligations to Users regarding the use of the Website and its services.

Processing of Users’ personal data is carried out with the consent of the personal data subject to the processing of their personal data.

Personal data means any information relating to a directly or indirectly identified or identifiable individual (personal data subject) and which can be used to identify or contact a specific person.

We may request personal data from you at any time when you contact the Operator. The Operator may use such data in accordance with this Privacy Policy. It may also combine such data with other information to provide and improve its products, services, content, and communications.

Below are some examples of the types of personal data the Operator may collect and how we may use such information.

What personal data we collect

We may collect various data/information, including:

first and last name;
date of birth;
mailing address;
phone number;
email address;
bank details.

Personal data may also include additional information provided by Users at the Operator’s request in order to fulfill obligations arising from the service agreement. The Operator may, in particular, request a copy of an identity document or another document containing the User’s name, surname, photo, as well as other additional data which, at the Operator’s discretion, are necessary and sufficient for identification and to prevent abuse and rights violations.

When you involve other people in our events or invite them to communicate with us, the Operator may collect the personal data you provide about these people, such as name, surname, date of birth, mailing address, email address, and phone number.

When processing personal data, we ensure their accuracy, sufficiency, and, when necessary, relevance to the purposes of processing.

To compile statistics and analyze Website performance, the Operator uses the Yandex.Metrica metrics service to process such data as:

personal information provided during registration (account creation), such as your name, phone number, address, and age;
electronic data (HTTP headers, IP address, cookies, web beacons/pixel tags, browser ID, software and hardware info, wi-fi network data);
date and time of access to the Website and/or Services;
information about your activity while using the Website and/or Services (e.g., search history, service purchase data, visited organizations, likes and preferences, email addresses of your contacts, phone book data, interactions with other users, files and content stored in Yandex systems);

your payment card data and other payment information provided by you or obtained from Partners or other participants in the transaction through Yandex Websites or Services.

Yandex.Metrica service, available at http://api.yandex.com/metrika, allows various services and applications to interact with Yandex.Metrica, operated by Yandex LLC, registered at 119021 Moscow, Leo Tolstoy St., 16 (hereinafter – Yandex). Yandex.Metrica uses cookies and creates pseudonymous usage profiles for analyzing how Users use the Website. The information stored in such cookies (e.g., browser type/version, OS, referrer URL, hostname of accessing computer, server request time) is usually transmitted to and stored on Yandex servers. To block Yandex.Metrica, you can download and install the add-on at https://yandex.com/support/metrica/general/opt-out.html?lang=en.
