This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and the choices available to you when you visit our website, create an account, or use Forge-related services.
This Privacy Policy applies to the Forge website and account experience. As Forge grows — including matching features, mobile apps, or additional services — this policy may be updated to reflect those changes.

How We Share Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us operate the website, manage accounts, send emails, host the site, store data, analyze site performance, or protect the site from misuse.
These providers may only access information needed to perform their services for Forge.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or a reasonable request from a government authority, or if needed to protect the rights, safety, or security of Forge, our users, or others.
Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information submitted through the Forge website. These steps may include using trusted service providers, access controls, secure hosting, and other technical or organizational safeguards.
However, no website, online service, database, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
We keep account and service information for as long as needed to provide Forge, communicate about the product, improve the website, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or maintain appropriate business records.
You may request account deletion or data removal as described in the Contact Us section below.

Some information may be retained if needed for legal, security, fraud prevention, or legitimate business record purposes.

These tools may collect general technical information such as browser type, device type, pages visited, referral source, and general usage patterns.

Forge is intended for adults 18 years of age and older.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. We also do not intend for minors to create Forge accounts. If we learn that we have collected information from a child or minor, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
Third-Party Services
Forge may use third-party services for website hosting, database storage, authentication, email delivery, analytics, security, and website performance.
