You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your Personal Data. To learn more, please contact your local data protection authority, via the contact methods available here.

If you are unable to obtain the information or resolution that you seek, you may also contact our Data Protection Officer at dpo@FORTVISION.com.
FORTVISION transfers data outside the EEA. FORTVISION relies on adequacy determinations, because data is controlled and stored by FORTVISION's Israeli entity. In addition, FORTVISION also has in place an Inter Group Data Transfer Agreement across its international entities, which is based on the standard model clauses.
As part of FORTVISION’s global operations, our data flows between the EEA, the United States and Israel. To ensure that EEA Data is adequately protected when transferred outside the EEA, the Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC and the General Data Protection Regulation mandate that such transfers take place using certain legal mechanisms.
When transferring EEA data to Israel, FORTVISION relies on the European Commission’s determination that Israel offers adequate data protection for transfers from the EEA. When transferring EEA data elsewhere, FORTVISION relies on the European Commission’s approved Standard Contractual Clauses, which are contractual privacy and security commitments between companies that transfer personal data. FORTVISION and its Affiliates have accordingly adopted Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure the legality, privacy, and security of the data flows necessary to provide, maintain, and develop our services.
Your Rights to Your Personal InformationCalifornia residents have the right to request that FORTVISION (i) provide you with access to the Personal Information that we hold about you, (ii) correct your Personal Information, (iii) delete your Personal Information, and (iv) cease or restrict disclosures or sales of your Personal Information to third parties. You also have a right against descrimination for exercising any of these rights, which FORTVISION is committed to upholding and honoring at all times.
If you would like to opt out of FORTVISION’s disclosures and sales of your Personal Information, you may do so as outlined in FORTVISION’s California Consumer Rights Portal. Please note that this feature is currently only available for California state residents.
Categories of DataAs mentioned above, FORTVISION maintains data about you in only pseudonymized form, which means that we do not know your identity because we do not process your name, email address, or other identifiable information. Instead, we only process digital identifiers such as cookie IDs, IP addresses, mobile advertising IDs on your device, FORTVISION network browsing history and associated preferences, and in some limited circumstances, your hashed email address and other data the user given acknowledge.
Where FORTVISION Collects Your Personal InformationWe automatically collect User Information when Users interact with our Services that appear on our Customers' websites and digital properties. Like most other web-based services, we collect this User Information through cookies and other technologies. We may also obtain Information about you from our data partners.
FORTVISION collects Information either directly from you during your use of our Sites and Services or from third parties that independently collect this Information from you, and we may combine the Information that we collect from these various sources.
How FORTVISION Shares Your Personal InformationFORTVISION may disclose or make available your pseudonymous Personal Information to our trusted partners. In most cases when we do so, we have contractually restricted their uses of this data for only FORTVISION’s business purposes. Under the CCPA, such disclosures of Personal Information to service providers are not deemed to be a “sale” and thus are not prohibited after you exercise your right to cease or restrict disclosures or sales of your Personal Information to third parties. In any instances where we have not entered into a service provider relationship with such third parties, we will stop sharing your Personal Information when you instruct us not to “sell” your Personal Information.
