We take your privacy personally! FormHero ("us", "we" or "our") treats your personal data as we would like see our personal data treated.

It is important to us that you feel confident about how we process your personal information when you use our Smart Forms or visit us on our website.

Our privacy policy describes how FormHero and our clients collect your personally identifiable information (“PII”) and ensure it is used for its intended purposes. We limit the collection and processing of your information and ensure we will only work with other companies and organizations who are just as security conscious as we are.

Any information and personal data you share with us, on our website (formhero.com), will be strictly used for its intended purposes only. We may send you information about our products and services to keep you updated on exciting new ventures with FormHero. We may also send marketing emails to those who express interest when you “Get In Touch” with us through our contact page.

We may process your personal data on behalf of our clients when you use one of our many Smart Forms. Your application and your personal data is securely sent to the author/owner of the Smart Form to complete the submission. FormHero keeps no permanent record of your data and management of that data becomes the responsibility of organization that owns the Smart Form. To understand how any one of our clients handle and process your personal data, please refer to their privacy policy.

How We Collect Your Personal & Corporate Data

Data Collected From the FormHero Website

When you visit our corporate website you choose to engage with us by providing us with your name, phone number, email address and your company name.

We collect this information when you:

  • Opt-in and join our mailing list;
  • Contact us for more information about our Smart Forms and services;
  • Email us directly with questions or request for information; and
  • When you decide to book a demo with us to learn more about our Smart Forms and services.

The information collected from our website (www.formhero.com) is to help us improve our business processes, provide better customer service and focus our marketing strategies.

While we always give everyone the choice to opt-out of our email communications, we certainly will be sad to see you go. If you ever change your mind, however, you are welcome to rejoin our FormHero family!

Data collected from Smart Forms

FormHero provides Smart Forms as a service to our clients. Smart Forms are used by our clients to simplify the collection of data for their business processes, similar to how traditional paper and other forms are used to collect data (just far more dynamically and with a much better user experience!).

Smart Forms are intended to be used to collect the minimum amount of information required to facilitate a business process (so you do not get asked questions like “When was your spouse born?” if you have already indicated you are not married).

When you submit a Smart Form, your data is sent to FormHero’s servers momentarily for processing before being passed on to the organization that owns the Smart Form. FormHero does not store any of your personal information without your consent. Our processing ends when we have successfully and securely sent your application to the the owner of the Smart Form for their safekeeping and record.

To understand how our partners or clients process your personal data, please refer to their privacy policy.
