 This Privacy Policy describes how Forerunner Industries, Inc. and our subsidiaries and affiliated companies (collectively, “Forerunner,” “we,” or “us”) collect, use, disclose and otherwise process information about you. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you access or use our websites, mobile applications, and other online products and services (collectively, the “Services”), or when you otherwise interact with us, such as through our customer support channels. Where we process personal information in the course of providing our platform, we may do so as a service provider/processor on behalf of our customers.

 We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this policy. If we make material retroactive changes, we will provide you with additional notice (such as by adding a statement to the Services or sending you a notification). We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy regularly to stay informed about our information practices and the choices available to you.
