Sovereignty of Information.
At Forge Consulting, we treat data governance with the same structural integrity as an industrial engineering project. This policy outlines our protocols for the collection, utilization, and protection of your personal identifiers.
Inputs &
Raw Material
"In our workshop, we only gather what is strictly necessary to refine the final strategy. Extraneous data is considered industrial waste."
[01] Direct Communication: Names, email addresses, and phone numbers provided during strategic inquiries or academy enrollment at forge-consulting.fr.
[02] Technical Metadata: IP addresses, browser configurations, and timestamped navigation logs used to optimize platform delivery across the EU.
[03] Professional Identifiers: Company roles, industry focus, and institutional affiliations relevant to curriculum customization.
Legal Basis
We process data based on Article 6 of the GDPR: specifically for the performance of consulting contracts, legal obligations, and our legitimate interest in securing our industrial educational assets.
Retention Policy
Personal data is maintained for the duration of the active business relationship plus a statutory 5-year period for audit compliance, after which it is physically purged or anonymized.
The Standard Risk
Unchecked Data Sprawl
Many consulting firms treat your data as a secondary asset to be traded or sold for marketing profiling. This creates a vulnerability loop where your institutional insights are shared across legacy networks without explicit consent.
