Forethought's policy lays out a full slate of data-subject rights, per-purpose legal bases, and a plain no-sale commitment, and it names standard contractual clauses for international transfers. It stays silent on whether user data trains AI models and gives only vague retention and security disclosures, which lands it in the middle of the pack.

What Forethought's privacy policy says about your data

Full rights catalogue

Section 11 enumerates access, erasure, portability, rectification, objection, and an advertising opt-out, each stated as a concrete right exercisable by contacting the company.

Does not sell data

The U.S. residents section states plainly that Forethought does not rent or sell any personal information, so the advertising-sale indicator scores full with no dealbreaker.

Vague retention, no numbers

Retention is described only as for as long as is necessary for the purposes it was collected, with no day count and a direction to email for the actual periods, so it earns partial credit.

Thin security and accountability

Safeguards are described as reasonable organizational, technical, and physical measures with no named controls, and the policy is silent on breach-notification timeframes and on any certification or named DPO.

What the policy is silent or vague on

Not stated: keeping user inputs out of model training
Not stated: a way to opt out of training
Not stated: whether training use differs by plan
Not stated: your ownership of generated outputs
