Effective: May 6th 2025
This Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how Forecasterly AB ("Forecasterly," "we," "us," or "our") gathers, manages, and shares personal data collected via our website ("Site"), which can be accessed at www.forecasterly.com. When you browse our Site or use any functionality offered through it (the "Services"), you are acknowledging and accepting the practices described in this Policy.
We obtain both personal and other types of data directly from you when you provide it through our website. Additionally, we may automatically gather specific details about you and your device—such as a computer, phone, or tablet—when you visit, access, or use our Site.
When you register for an account via the Services, we collect data needed to set up and manage it. This can include, for instance, your name, email, job title, company name, location, industry, and phone number.
We may also gather financial details you share while using the Services, including business-related financial data like compensation figures, payroll records, or customer and supplier information. This data might be collected directly from you, or through the permissions you grant us to access information from your connected third-party accounts.
You may browse the Site without giving us information that we can use to identify you personally. However, some features—like "Contact Us" or creating an account—require you to submit personal details such as your name and email address.
When you interact with the Site, certain data is automatically collected from your browser and device. This may include your IP address, domain, the specific pages you access, timestamps of your visits, downloaded files, links to and from the Site, technical details about your device (such as IDs, software, and hardware), your approximate location (like city or region), and cookies (explained further below). We gather this information through methods like server logs and tools that identify your device and monitor browsing behavior.
We use cookies on our Site. These are small data files saved to your device by your web browser. Cookies help the Site recognize if you've visited before and may retain settings or other user-related data. For instance, cookies can be used to track and store details about how you use the Site over time and during a session (such as viewed pages and downloaded files), your device's operating system and browser, your ISP, domain, IP address, approximate location, the site you visited prior to ours, and the link you clicked to leave.
If you're concerned about cookies, your browser settings can be adjusted to reject all cookies or notify you whenever one is being placed, giving you the choice to accept or reject them. You can also remove stored cookies from your system. Keep in mind, though, that disabling or deleting cookies may cause certain parts of the Site to function improperly.
For additional details on how we use cookies, please consult our Cookie Policy.
The Site or emails you receive from Forecasterly may use tools called "web beacons" (also referred to as "clear gifs" or "web bugs"). These are tiny image files—often just a single pixel—that can be placed in emails or on web pages to send back data, potentially including personal information. For instance, they can be used to confirm whether a particular email was opened.
Our Services may use third-party software development kits ("SDKs") that help us and our partners gather data about how you interact with the Services. Additionally, many mobile devices include advertising identifiers (like Apple's IDFA or Google's Advertising ID) that can be reset. These identifiers function similarly to cookies or pixel tags, letting us and third parties track your device usage over time for advertising-related purposes.
The Services may incorporate plugins from other providers, such as social platforms (e.g., Facebook's "Like" button). These plugins may collect data—like the pages you visit—and transmit it to their creators, even if you don't interact with them. These tools follow the privacy practices and terms of their respective companies.
We may partner with selected third parties to gather, assess, and utilize some of the personal and non-personal data mentioned earlier. For instance, we might permit them to place cookies or use tracking pixels on our Site or in emails we send. This data may be used for purposes such as website performance analysis.
At times, we may compile and share summaries or deidentified data about how people use the Services, such as through reports on usage trends. This type of data will not identify you personally.
We use the information we gather for multiple purposes. The legal bases for processing your personal data include: 1) our legitimate interest in operating and developing our business; 2) executing and honoring our contractual commitments; 3) your provided consent; and 4) fulfilling legal duties. Often, more than one of these legal bases applies to how we handle your personal data. Specific ways we may use this data include:
We disclose your information to other entities for several reasons, as outlined below.
We work with select third-party partners to collect the automatic data mentioned earlier and to support analytics, audits, research, and reporting. These partners may utilize web beacons, access server logs, and place cookies on your device. Specifically, our Site uses Google Analytics to help gather and interpret data for the purposes noted above. You can choose to opt out of Google Analytics cookies by visiting this link.
Our Website (meaning the commercial site at forecasterly.com where we publish marketing content, company info and resources, NOT the pages where you login), also allows third-party tracking technologies that gather data about you and your devices to support interest-based advertising online. For example, third parties may use your visit to our Site as a basis for displaying targeted ads. Additionally, advertising networks we work with might analyze your activity on our Site to personalize ads based on your general online behavior.
To learn more about how interest-based advertising works, including information about data privacy and protection, visit the Network Advertising Initiative or the Digital Advertising Alliance websites. The tracking tools used by third parties operate under their own privacy policies, not ours.
If you'd rather restrict third parties from placing or accessing cookies on your device, you can configure your browser to block them. You can also opt out of targeted ads from companies that belong to the Network Advertising Initiative here, or from Digital Advertising Alliance members here.
Our Site currently doesn't respond to "Do Not Track" signals sent by browsers, but you can still reduce tracking by using these opt-out programs and browser settings. For visitors in the United States, we may also work with additional services that provide interest-based ads.
Forecasterly engages third-party vendors to carry out services on our behalf, such as website hosting, email delivery, and data analytics. These providers may gather and/or handle your personal information to help us accomplish the goals outlined previously. We may also share your data with other external parties as needed to deliver requested services, complete transactions you've started, uphold agreements between you and us (or our partners), or support the operation and management of our business.
We may also disclose or use your information when we believe, at our sole discretion, that it is necessary for the following:

This Site may include links directing you to external websites. By clicking those links, you will be navigating away from our Site. We have not evaluated these external sites and do not manage or take responsibility for their content, practices, or privacy policies. As such, we do not endorse or guarantee any information, services, or outcomes found on or resulting from those sites. Any software, materials, or data found there are beyond our control. If you choose to visit any third-party sites mentioned on our Site, you do so entirely at your own discretion and risk.
We take a multi-layered approach to security, including:
Still, no system is completely secure and can give a total guarantee on the safety of information you send to the Site or to us.
We keep your personal data only as long as needed to fulfill the reason it was collected, or as allowed or required by law. We do not store personal data longer than necessary. When deletion is required, we ensure your information is disposed of in a way that prevents recovery or misuse.
Information collected through or related to our Services may be stored or processed in the European Union or the United States, depending on the purpose described above. We may also share or delegate processing of your data to affiliates or service providers located in the U.S. or EU. These regions may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction. By accessing the Services or submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer and processing.
The content provided on this Site is intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly gather personal data from anyone under the age of 13, nor is the Site directed at children in that age group.
As the Services evolve, we may update this Policy to reflect any changes. Updates will be published on this page, so we encourage you to check it occasionally. If a significant change is made, we'll notify you in a suitable way.
If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please get in touch with us at privacy@forecasterly.com.
