Forward Global firmly respects the privacy rights of all individuals and takes affirmative measures regarding the storing, sharing, and safeguarding of personally identifiable information. Any information we collect is for the explicit purpose of furthering our mission and upholding legal protections. We support the privacy initiative of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which means you are protected from Forward Global storing and using any information about you without consent. You can request (at no cost to you) that we remove your data from our systems at your will.
Forward Global is the ‘Controller’ of the personal data you provide to us. We only collect basic personal data about you which does not include any special types of information or location-based information. We ask for your name, email, and phone number to be able to contact you if you express interest in joining as a Forward Global member, if you choose to become a Forward Global member, or if you choose to actively partner with us on mission-related activities through your employer or through personal interest.
The personal information we process is provided to us directly by you to further our mission, comply with legal protections, and conduct related financial transactions. We may also receive personal information indirectly, from publicly available sources like LinkedIn, to confirm biographical details such as geographic location or personal interest areas. We will not collect any personal data from you we do not need in order to provide mission-related services to you.
We use the information you provide to curate content to your interests, provide relevant and timely information, and build relationships amongst our members and partners.
We use electronic communication to send newsletters that update you on our activities, changes to our organization, and share the progress of our community. You will always have the option to opt out of subscription of these emails using the unsubscribe links at the bottom of each newsletter. If you do not wish to receive emails from Forward Global, please use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter.
We keep basic personal data (name, address, contact details) and any information you give us for outreach or promotional purposes until you notify us that you no longer wish to receive and store this information. We permanently delete any personally identifiable information when no longer needed.
We use Google Analytics and other 3rd party tools to evaluate the traffic to our website. We have configured these tools to minimize the data that they collect.
We may use your IP address to provide you with the best possible experience when accessing our website such as local language support. Your IP address is used to help identify you for the duration of a session.

We never use cookies to retrieve information from a computer that is unrelated to our website.
Because we are collecting your data, we take extra care with our security and commit to securely storing your personal information. All personal data we process is reviewed and stored securely by our employees. We use a secure password manager to store information so that our team can access relevant login information regardless of their location.
