Privacy Policy

1. Information Collection

Foreware collects information to provide better services to all our users. This includes:

• Account Information: Name, email address, and professional affiliation when you register.
• Technical Data: IP addresses, browser type, and operating system logs for security auditing.
• Clinical Metadata: In our research frameworks, we only collect non-identifiable metadata required for system performance.

2. Advanced Security & PETs

Unlike traditional platforms, Foreware implements Privacy-Enhancing Technologies (PETs) at its core. We ensure data privacy through:

• Homomorphic Encryption: Allowing computation on encrypted data so that raw sensitive information is never exposed during analysis.
• Differential Privacy: Adding mathematical noise to datasets to prevent the identification of individual research participants.
• End-to-End Encryption: All communications are secured via TLS 1.3 and AES-256 standards.

3. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. For clinical research data handled via our SecureSCD framework, retention periods are determined by the specific research institution's protocol.

4. Third-Party Sharing

Foreware does not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. We may share generic aggregated demographic information not linked to any personal identification information with our business partners and trusted affiliates.

"Our fundamental principle is 'Privacy by Design.' We minimize data collection and maximize cryptographic protection at every layer of our stack."

5. Cookies & Cookie Policy

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR or local NDPR regulations), you have the following rights:

• Access: The right to request copies of your personal data.
