Use of the e-shot platform
The e-shot solution allows clients to create and share bulk messages via email and SMS. Data relating to interactions of individual contacts with these bulk messages including opens, clicks and subsequent website interactions can be tracked and recorded. We do not control the content of these messages or the contact data used to target and personalise messages. The solution can also be used to help organise and analyse contact and company information including information that may be of a commercially sensitive nature in relation to the client’s business.
Information can be added to the platform via a variety of methods including online completion of forms by individual contacts along with bulk adding and updating by way of uploading and integration. The information added to the platform is stored and managed in a secure and compliant manner on our servers, which are hosted securely by our hosting partner.
Use of personal data
Forfront complies with all applicable data protection regulations. We act as a Data Processor on behalf of clients using the e-shot platform.

Functions relating to the processing of personal data
Unsubscribe
If a contact unsubscribes from communication, e-shot will never send messages to that contact again. Even if the contact is included in other campaigns or deleted and reuploaded to the database, it is not possible to override the unsubscribe unless proof is provided by the data subject of their consent to resubscribe. SMS opt out facilities are also automated and can be managed separately from email unsubscribes.
Automatic unsubscribe
Every email sent via e-shot automatically includes a header unsubscribe to automatically process unsubscribes submitted via this method.
Preferences
Granular consent can be captured, processed, updated and automatically adhered to using e-shot’s Preference Centre function.
Double opt-in
To prevent erroneous and malicious data entering your database, new subscribers can be subjected to a double opt-in process that prevents accidental use of the submitted data, unless verified.
Compliant footer
Every email sent automatically contains a compliant footer with the relevant legal information and unsubscribe links. If this information is accidentally deleted from a design, it will be automatically \Lre-added to the sent communication.
