Forward Growth Partners

Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 29, 2026

Forward Growth Partners (“Forward Growth,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates fwd-gp.com and provides marketing, sales-system, and application-development services to business owners. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have. By using our website or submitting an application, you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information we collect

Information you give us. When you apply to the Forward Growth Partnership Program, book a call, or contact us, we collect the information you enter, which may include your first and last name, email address, phone number, business name, business website, approximate annual revenue, your biggest current challenge, and any free-text answers you provide.

Information collected automatically. When you visit our website we and our service providers may collect your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, referring URL, and similar usage data through cookies, pixels, and comparable technologies. We may use analytics and advertising tools (for example, Google and Meta) that set their own cookies.

Communications. If you text, call, or email us, we keep a record of that communication, including call recordings or transcripts where permitted by law and disclosed at the time of the call.

2. How we use information

  • To review your application and determine whether your business is a fit for our program;
  • To contact you about your application, schedule and conduct strategy calls, and deliver services you engage us for;
  • To send service messages and, where you have opted in, marketing messages by email, SMS, or phone;
  • To operate, secure, and improve our website and services, including analytics and troubleshooting;
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements.

3. Text messaging (SMS) terms

Our application form includes two separate, optional consents: (a) non-marketing texts about your application and account, and (b) marketing texts such as offers and updates. Checking either box is not a condition of applying or purchasing. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help and STOP to cancel at any time. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing or promotional purposes; the consents above cover only texts from Forward Growth Partners.

4. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only:

  • With service providers that help us run our business, such as our CRM and messaging platform, telephony and email providers, scheduling tools, payment processors, and analytics vendors. They may use your information only to perform services for us.
  • With our exit partner, CREBB Group, where you ask us to coordinate business-sale or brokerage services, or where the CREBB Group exit credit applies to your engagement.
  • With professionals you ask us to refer you to, such as attorneys or accountants under the Startup Program, only with your direction.
  • For legal reasons, when required by law, subpoena, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
  • In a business transfer, if Forward Growth Partners is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

5. Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site working, remember your preferences, measure traffic, and understand which marketing brings people to us. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some site features. Third-party analytics and advertising providers collect information under their own privacy policies.

6. Data retention and security

We keep application and client information for as long as needed to evaluate your application, deliver services, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and rights

  • Email: use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email.
  • SMS: reply STOP to any message.
  • Calls: tell us you no longer wish to be contacted by phone.
  • Access, correction, deletion: email us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time, subject to legal retention requirements.

Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under state privacy laws, including the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to request deletion, and to not be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We will honor such requests as required by applicable law.

8. Children

Our services are for businesses and their owners. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Third-party links

Our site may link to other websites, including CREBB Group and referred professionals. Their privacy practices are their own, and this policy does not apply to them.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The effective date at the top shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be posted on this page.
