Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2025

1. Data Controller Identification

In accordance with applicable U.S. privacy and consumer protection laws, including the Federal Trade Commission Act (FTC Act), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Delaware Online Privacy and Protection Act (DOPPA), the entity responsible for collecting and managing personal information through this website is:

  • Company name: Fortai Engine LLC
  • Legal form: Limited Liability Company (LLC)
  • Registered in: State of Delaware, United States of America
  • Contact email: fortaiengine@proton.me
  • Privacy email: fortaiengine@proton.me
  • Employer Identification Number (EIN): Available upon legitimate request.

Fortai Engine LLC is committed to maintaining transparency regarding the collection, use, and protection of personal information, following the principles of notice, choice, and accountability established under U.S. privacy standards.

2. Purposes of Processing

We collect and process personal data for the following specific purposes:

  • Contact and audit requests: To respond to messages or audit requests submitted through our forms.
  • Service provision and customer management: To deliver contracted automation or AI services, issue invoices, and maintain commercial relations.
  • Marketing communications (newsletters and updates): To send information about our services, new features, or collaborations—only if you have explicitly consented.
  • Analytics and performance improvement: To understand how our site and services are used and improve usability (aggregated, non-identifiable data).
  • Security and fraud prevention: To protect our systems and prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

3. Legal Grounds & U.S. Compliance Framework

Our processing of personal information follows U.S. privacy and consumer-protection standards, including the FTC Act (unfair/deceptive practices), CCPA/CPRA (California), applicable state privacy laws (e.g., Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah), the CAN-SPAM Act (email marketing), the TCPA (SMS/telemarketing), and COPPA (children’s privacy). We rely on notice & choice, contract necessity, legitimate business purposes consistent with consumer expectations, and explicit consent where required by law.

  • Contact and audit requests: Processed for legitimate business purposes (responding to inquiries and pre-contract communications) under the FTC reasonableness standard. No marketing is sent unless permitted by law; you may opt out of any promotional contact at any time.
  • Service delivery and billing: Processed as necessary to perform a contract (account setup, provisioning, invoicing, support) and to meet accounting/tax obligations. Records may be retained as required by applicable law.
  • Marketing communications (email/SMS): Email complies with CAN-SPAM (clear sender, truthful subject lines, physical address, and a free, working unsubscribe honored within 10 business days). SMS/voice requires prior express consent under the TCPA. Where we use tracking pixels or non-essential cookies for marketing measurement, we honor your choices via the Cookie Settings panel.
  • Analytics and improvement: Processed for legitimate business purposes (understanding usage, improving performance). Where analytics or ad tech could constitute “selling” or “sharing” personal information under the CPRA (cross-context behavioral advertising), we provide a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism and honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. Non-essential analytics cookies run only per your preferences.
  • Security and fraud prevention: Processed to meet legal obligations and for legitimate business purposes (protecting accounts, detecting abuse, ensuring system integrity).
  • Sensitive data (if applicable): Collected/used only with explicit consent where required by state law, or as otherwise permitted by law; minimized and protected with appropriate safeguards.
  • Minors: We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (COPPA). For users under 16 in California, “sale” or “sharing” of personal information requires opt-in consent (CPRA).

4. Data Categories and Origin

We process only the data that you voluntarily provide through forms or email, including name, email address, phone number, company name, and project information. We do not collect special categories of personal data (sensitive data).

5. Recipients and Service Providers

We do not sell personal data. However, to operate efficiently we rely on trusted service providers who act as service providers under contractual agreements that restrict their use of your information:

  • Hostinger – web hosting and content delivery (USA)
  • Web3Forms Inc. – secure form submission and email routing (USA)
  • Google LLC – analytics and infrastructure services (USA)

All service providers operate under written agreements ensuring they only process data according to our instructions and maintain appropriate security measures.

6. International Data Transfers

Fortai Engine LLC is a Delaware-based company. When we collect personal information from individuals outside the United States, such information is transferred to and processed in the U.S. We implement appropriate safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual protections and security measures to protect your information.

7. Data Retention Periods

  • Contact and audit data: Retained for up to 12 months after the last interaction.
  • Client and billing data: Retained for the duration of the contract plus 6 years (for legal and tax obligations).
  • Marketing subscriptions: Retained until you withdraw consent or request erasure.
  • Analytics and cookies: According to our Cookie Policy and browser settings.

For U.S. Residents (particularly California under CCPA/CPRA):

  • Right to Know: Request information about the personal data we collect, use, and disclose

9. Security Measures

Fortai Engine LLC applies appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. These include encryption, secure HTTPS protocols, access controls, and regular system audits.
