Forte will remain the data controller in such cases, and the use of data is restricted to information strictly required in terms of the Third-Party Service Agreement between Forte and the third-party provider. This policy applies to all third-party providers, however, the providers may have their own policies covering their services. We therefore recommend that you refer to their policies, where applicable.
