Personal Information
During the Registration Process for creating a company or user account, we request for your name, email address and phone number. These will be treated as your Personal Information.
You will also be asked to choose a unique username and a password, which will be used solely for the purpose of providing access to your user account. Please note that your username is not Personal Information, even if it is related to your real name. You should select your username accordingly.
Your name and email address will be used to inform you regarding new services, releases, upcoming events and changes in this Privacy Policy Statement. Your phone number is used when you access the mobile app related to the Services.
FEN will have access to certain additional information provided by you as part of using FEN Services, such as the location of your mobile device when the mobile app is activated, and the telecommunications carrier you use with your mobile device. This additional information may also include third party names, email addresses, phone numbers and physical addresses, and will be used by us to provide the Services to you. We do not share your Personal Information with anyone for promotional purposes, nor do we utilize it for any purposes not associated with the Services unless you expressly consent otherwise.

We post user testimonials on our website. These testimonials may include names and other Personal Information and we acquire permission from our users prior to posting these on our website. FEN is not responsible for the Personal Information users elect to post within their testimonials.
Usage Details
Your usage details such as time, frequency, duration and pattern of use, location and route information, features used and the amount of storage used will be recorded by us in order to enhance your experience of the FEN Services and to help us provide you the best possible service.
Contents of your User Account
We store and maintain data, files, documents, and other data stored in your user account within a cloud computing environment. We may use third-party data and hosting providers to provider, operate and maintain the cloud environment, but we will maintain control over the Personal Information associated with your account. In order to prevent loss of data due to errors or system failures, we also keep backup copies of data including the contents of your user account. Hence your files and data may remain on our servers and third-party servers even after deletion or termination of your user account.
We may retain, use and disclose your Personal Information and data as necessary to provide the Services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our rights. Unless otherwise required by law, regulation, or court order, we take commercially reasonable steps to keep the contents of your user account private, and do not disclose it to anyone (even to employees of FEN) except in circumstances specifically mentioned in this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Services.
Payment Information
In case of services requiring payment, we request credit card or other payment account information, which will be used solely for processing payments. FEN does not store or record confidential payment information in our systems. All information is sent and managed by our third-party payment provider, which is currently Stripe.com. You should review the Stripe.com terms, including its privacy policy, at https://stripe.com. We may change our payment processor from time to time, and we will post the information for our then-current processor here. Your financial information will not be stored by us except for the name and address of the card holder. Subject to your prior consent and where necessary for processing future payments, your financial information will be stored in encrypted form with our payment provider and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Technologies such as cookies, beacons, tags and scripts are used by FEN and our partners (such as reseller partners), affiliates, or service providers (such as analytics service providers). These technologies are used in analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We may receive reports based on the use of these technologies by these companies on an individual as well as aggregated basis.
We use Local Storage Objects (LSOs) such as HTML5 to store content information and preferences. Various browsers may offer their own management tools for removing HTML5 LSOs.

We may use your Personal Information together with any other data or information we collect from you in our discretion, including to provide, improve and customize the Services and create new offerings. For example, we may use your location and route information to provide tracking and reporting.

We may also share non-Personal Information with third parties, provided that we will not disclose your usage details to a third party in a way that can be associated with your Personal Information.
If you include content in any public area of the Service, such as a support forum or community board, you understand that anything you post is public and may be reposted and reused by FEN as permitted in the Terms of Service.

With whom we share Information
We may share your Personal Information and your data with our affiliates, resellers, service providers and business partners solely for the purpose of providing FEN Services to you. The purposes for which we may disclose your Personal Information or data to our service providers may include, but are not limited to, data storage, database management, web analytics and payment processing. These service providers are authorized to use your Personal Information or data only as necessary to provide these services to us. In such cases FEN will also ensure that such affiliates, resellers, service providers and business partners comply with this Privacy Policy and adopt appropriate confidentiality and security measures. We will obtain your prior specific consent before we share your Personal Information or data to any person outside FEN for any purpose that is not directly connected with providing FEN Services to you. We will share your Personal Information with third parties only in the ways that are described in this Privacy Policy. We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties. We may share generic aggregated data and information not linked to any Personal Information regarding visitors and users with our business partners and advertisers. Please be aware that laws in various jurisdictions in which we operate may obligate us to disclose user information and the contents of your user account to the local law enforcement authorities under a legal process or an enforceable government request. In addition, we may also disclose Personal Information and contents of your user account to law enforcement authorities if such disclosure is determined to be necessary by FEN, in our sole and absolute discretion, for protecting the safety of our users, employees, or the general public. If FEN is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its business or assets, we may provide your Personal Information to the new owner and you will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice on our website of any change in use of your Personal Information, as well as any choices you may have regarding your Personal Information.
How secure is your Information
We adopt industry appropriate data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, as well as physical security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction of your Personal Information, username, password, corporate information and data stored in your user account. Access to your name and email address is restricted to our employees who need to know such information in connection with providing FEN Services to you and are bound by confidentiality obligations. However, these measures are unable to provide an absolute guarantee of security. Therefore, although FEN makes great efforts to protect your Personal Information, FEN cannot guarantee and you cannot reasonably expect that FEN’s databases will be entirely secure and immune from any wrongdoings, malfunctions, unlawful interceptions or access, or other kinds of abuse and misuse.
Your Choice in Information Use
In the event we decide to use your Personal Information for any purpose other than as stated in this Privacy Policy Statement, we will offer you an effective way to opt out of the use of your Personal Information for those other purposes. From time to time, we may send emails to you regarding new services, releases and upcoming events. You may opt out of receiving newsletters and other secondary messages from FEN by selecting the ‘unsubscribe’ function present in every email we send. However, you will continue to receive essential transactional emails.

Investigation of Illegal Activity
We may need to provide access to your Personal Information and the contents of your user account to our employees, service providers, and law enforcement for the purpose of investigating any suspected illegal activity or potential violation of the terms and conditions for use of FEN Services. However, FEN will ensure that such access is in compliance with this Privacy Policy and subject to appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
