Forge ("Forge," "we," "us," or "our") is the AI-powered personal development platform behind the Forge mobile app and this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We built Forge to help you grow — protecting your data is part of that commitment.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us
- Waitlist & account details — such as your name, email address, and age when you join our waitlist or create an account.
- App content — check-ins, habits, missions, journal entries, goals, and other inputs you create while using the Forge app.
- Communications — messages you send us for support or feedback.
Information collected automatically
- Usage data — features you interact with, session activity, and in-app events that help us improve the product.
- Device & technical data — device type, operating system, app version, and approximate region.
- Cookies & similar technologies — used on our website to remember preferences and measure traffic.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and personalize the Forge experience, including AI coaching insights;
- Manage our waitlist and notify you about availability and launch;
- Respond to your requests and provide customer support;
- Analyze usage to improve features, performance, and reliability;
- Send service-related and, where permitted, promotional communications; and
- Protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats, and comply with legal obligations.
3. AI Coaching
Forge uses artificial intelligence to generate coaching, reflections, and recommendations based on the information you provide. Your inputs may be processed by trusted AI service providers solely to deliver these features. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your private content to train third-party foundation models for unrelated purposes.
4. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only in limited circumstances:
- Service providers — cloud hosting, analytics, email delivery, and AI processing partners who work on our behalf under confidentiality obligations (for example, Amazon Web Services).
- Legal & safety — when required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Forge, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, with continued protection of your information.
5. Data Retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.
6. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format; and
- Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link in any message.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@yourforgeapp.com.
7. Data Security
We use industry-standard safeguards — including encryption in transit, access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work continuously to protect your data.
8. Children's Privacy
Forge is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. International Users
Forge is operated from the United States. If you access our services from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries with different data protection laws.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide additional notice. Your continued use of Forge after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
