Welcome to Fortis Evaluations. This Privacy Policy describes the information that Fortis Consultants, LLC (“Fortis Evaluations,” “Fortis Consultants,” “we,” “us,” “our”) collects through our website located at www.fortiseval.com (the “Site”), as well as in our email and other electronic communications with you.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with it, please do not access the Site. By accessing or using the Site, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Fortis Evaluations operates the Site to provide visitors and users (“you,” “your”) with information about our interpretation, translation, and document-related services (the “Services”) and to deliver those Services. Fortis Evaluations collects and processes information to advertise, provide, evaluate, and improve the Services.

This Privacy Policy sets forth our current practices for all information, including Personal Information, collected from visitors and users of the Site and Services.

Personal Information

“Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual. Depending on how you interact with us, it can include (but is not limited to):

• Your name
• Your postal address
• Your email address
• Your telephone number
• Your job title and employer
• Your academic credentials
• Your personal identification
• Your payment-card number(s) and related billing information

You may provide Personal Information when you place an order, create an account, contact us, or participate in surveys or promotions. We may also obtain Personal Information from publicly available databases, joint marketing partners, lead-generation services, entities to which we provide Services, and social-media platforms.

By voluntarily providing Personal Information, you consent to its use in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you submit documents containing Personal Information about children under 16, you represent that you have a lawful basis to do so or have anonymized the child’s data.

Processor and Controller Data

We process two categories of data that may contain Personal Information:

• Processor Data – Data that customers ask us to translate or otherwise process. The customer is the “controller” and Fortis Evaluations is the “processor.”
• Controller Data – Data we process for our own business (e.g., information collected through the Site, customer and vendor contact details). Fortis Evaluations is the “controller.”

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information in Processor Data

We process Personal Information in Processor Data only (1) with your consent, (2) to perform a contract, (3) to comply with a legal obligation, or (4) for our legitimate interests, provided they do not override your rights (“Business Purposes”).

For Business Purposes we may:

• Provide the Services (e.g., translate a document).
• Secure the Site and Services (fraud prevention, cybersecurity, etc.).

We disclose Personal Information in Processor Data:

• To third-party service providers (hosting, IT support, translation, auditing, etc.).
• To comply with applicable laws or lawful requests.
• To cooperate with law enforcement or government authorities.
• To enforce our contracts and protect rights or safety.
• In connection with a corporate transaction (sale, merger, etc.).

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information in Controller Data

Personal Information in Controller Data is processed for the same lawful bases and Business Purposes, including:

• Account registration, order processing, and customer support.
• Responding to inquiries and sending administrative notices.
• Marketing communications (you may unsubscribe at any time).
• Service improvement and analytics (including anonymized aggregation).
• Auditing, security, legal compliance, and business expansion.

We disclose Controller Data for the same reasons listed for Processor Data, and to the public when you post reviews or testimonials.

Other Information

“Other Information” does not reveal your identity and may include browser details, device data, cookies, analytics information, and aggregated statistics. We and our service providers collect Other Information via browsers, cookies, web beacons, Google Analytics, and IP addresses, and may use it for any purpose permitted by law.

Security

We implement reasonable organizational, technical, and administrative measures to protect Personal Information. No Internet transmission is 100% secure, so please contact us immediately if you believe your interactions with us are no longer secure.

Your Choices & Access

You may use the Site without providing Personal Information, but certain features will be unavailable. You may opt out of marketing emails by using the “unsubscribe” link or emailing [email protected].

EU residents may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of their Personal Information by contacting us. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.

Notice to California Residents

Individual California users may request information about our disclosures of certain Personal Information to third parties for their direct-marketing purposes by writing to us at the address below or emailing [email protected].

Retention of Your Information

We retain Personal Information as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, and reporting obligations.

Third-Party Content & Services

The Site may link to or embed third-party content (e.g., reviews). This Privacy Policy applies only to our practices; we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

Use by Children

The Services are not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect Personal Information from children under 16 without a lawful basis.

Transfer of Information Across International Borders

Your information may be stored and processed in countries outside your residence, including the United States, which may have different data- privacy rules. When required, we use EU-approved contractual safeguards for such transfers.

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Material changes will be announced by email (if on file) and/or a Site notice. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
