FCT International will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their prior consent. The only personal information collected is what has been provided voluntarily and for newsletters only.

When a product is purchased or through marketing activities (online, in a store, over the telephone etc.), personal information may be requested (such as name and address) in order to service product, provide upgrades or updated information, and advise of other FCT International products, which may be of interest. No one is obligated to provide personal information. However, failure to do so may result in FCT International being unable to sell you products and/or provide certain services and support including aftermarket services.

FCT International’s policy for collecting personal information from children under the age of 13 is to seek the permission of a parent or guardian for the collection of this information.

FCT International’s trading companies and any of its affiliates recognize the trust with which individuals provide personal information, and such information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes without consent, except in exceptional cases when disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of FCT International’s trading companies or any of its affiliates or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person’s health or safety.
