Privacy policy

The Internet is an amazing tool. It has the power to change the way we live, and we can see that potential today. With only a few mouse-clicks you can follow the news, look up facts, buy goods and services, and communicate with others from around the world. It’s important to FOREVER to help our customers retain their privacy when they take advantage of all the Internet has to offer.

We believe your business is no one else’s. Your privacy is important to you and us. So, we will protect the information you share with us. To protect your privacy, FOREVER follows different principles in accordance with worldwide practices for customer privacy and data protection.

We guarantee your e-commerce transactions to be 100% secure and safe. When you place orders or access your personal account information, you are utilizing secure server software (SSL), which encrypts your personal information before it is sent over the Internet.

You also have a significant role in protecting your information. No one can see or edit your personal information without knowing your username and password. So, do not share these with others.

Notice to parents

Parents or guardians, we want to help you guard your children’s privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their personal information while using the Internet. The FOREVER website does not publish content that is targeted towards children in a harmful way.

Electronic product registration

When you buy and install a new product from our website, we may ask you to register your purchase electronically. When you do, we merge your registration information with any information you’ve already left with us (also referred to as your personal profile). If you have not previously registered with us, we create a personal profile on your behalf using the information provided to us during your product registration and activation. If you ever want to review or update that information, you can visit your personal profile by logging in to your profile using your username and password. If you have not registered a personal profile with us we will ask you to do so when necessary. This ensures that only you can access your personal information.

Customer profiles

As mentioned above, every registered customer or user has a unique personal profile. Each profile is assigned a unique personal identification number which helps us ensure that only you can access your profile.

When you register, we create your profile, assign a personal identification number, then send this personal identification number back to your hard drive in the form of a cookie (a small of code). This code is uniquely yours. It is you passport to seamless travel across FOREVER website, allowing you to download material, sign up for newsletters, and access limited / special access areas on the website for the duration of your session.

What we do with the information you share

When you register a personal profile on the FOREVER website, you provide us with your personal information. This information will include any or all of the following:

  • You name and surname
  • Your contact telephone, fax, or cell numbers
  • Tour physical and / or postal address
  • Your E-Mail address
  • Your credit card information (only when processing your purchase). Billing information is stored on a secure server and SSL technology is used to prevent hacking and data hi-jacking. This makes it easier for you to review your orders and makes it quick and easy to re-order in future.

We occasionally hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, including packaging, mailing and delivering purchases, answering customers’ questions about products and services, sending postal mail and processing event registration. We will only provide those companies with the absolute necessary information they require to deliver the services, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
