Effective date: November 4, 2026
Forefathers Group ("we," "us," "our") operates forefathersgroup.com. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit the site, contact us, or buy something from our store, and how we use it. By using the site, you agree to this policy.
Information We Collect
Information you give us. When you submit our Start Your Project form, we collect your name, email address, company name, project timeline, project description, budget range, and the services you select. If you email us, we receive whatever you include in that message.
Purchases. If you buy from our Goods store, our e-commerce platform, Shopify, collects what is needed to complete the order: name, email, shipping and billing address, and order details. Payments are processed by Shopify and its payment partners. We do not see or store your full card number.
Information collected automatically. When you browse the site, we and our service providers collect standard usage data through cookies and similar technologies. This includes pages viewed, time on site, referring website, approximate location (city or region), device type, browser, and operating system.
We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal information, and we do not use the site to serve targeted advertising.
Google Analytics and Cookies
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect the usage data described above. We see that data only in aggregate. It is not used to identify you personally.
Google processes this data under its own privacy policy. You can learn more at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
Shopify, which hosts our site and store, also sets cookies needed for the site to work, such as keeping items in your cart and completing checkout. See Shopify's Privacy Policy for details.
Your choices.
- Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking cookies needed for the cart or checkout may prevent the store from working.
- You can opt out of Google Analytics on all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
How We Use and Share Information
We use your information to:
- Respond to project inquiries and communicate with you about potential work
- Process and fulfill orders from our store
- Understand site traffic and improve the site
- Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for targeted advertising. We share information only with service providers that help us run the site and business (such as Shopify and Google), when required by law, or as part of a merger or sale of our business.
Data Retention
We keep project inquiries and order records for as long as needed to respond to you, complete our work, and meet legal and tax requirements. Google Analytics data is kept for the period set in our Analytics account, after which Google deletes it.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information, and our site is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or get a copy of your personal information, or to opt out of certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within the time required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
Children's Privacy
Our site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted here, and we will update the effective date at the top.
