FORGE Men App — Privacy Policy

Effective date: 8/16/2026

FORGE Men Inc. (“FORGE”, “we”) operates the FORGE Men mobile app. We built this app to serve the men of our ministry, not to collect data. Here is everything it does with your information, in plain language.

What stays on your phone

  • DAWG journal entries, streaks, and reading progress are stored only on your device. They are never uploaded, and we cannot see them.
  • Content caches (videos lists, podcast episodes, message downloads) are stored locally for offline use.

What we collect — only if you sign in

Signing in is optional and only needed for table-group features. If you sign in with your email, we store:

  • Your email address and the name you enter
  • Your table group membership
  • Chat messages you send to your table (visible only to your table)
  • Weekly check-ins and survey answers
  • Any contact messages you submit through the app

This data is stored with our backend provider (Supabase) in the United States, protected by row-level security so only your own table can see your group activity.

Push notifications

If you enable notifications, we store an anonymous device push token so FORGE can send announcements. You can disable notifications any time in your phone’s settings.

What we don’t do

  • No advertising, and no ad networks in the app
  • No selling, renting, or sharing of your data with third parties
  • No tracking across other apps or websites
  • No collection of your location, contacts, or photos

Third-party services the app connects to

  • YouTube (videos) and Buzzsprout (podcast audio) — subject to their own privacy policies when you stream content
  • Breeze ChMS — our online giving page, opened inside the app; donation details are entered directly with Breeze, never stored by the app
  • Mailchimp — only if you submit the newsletter signup form
  • Dropbox — hosts our message outlines and audio files

Children

The app is intended for adults and is not directed at children under 13.

Deleting your data

Email forge@forgetruth.com from your sign-in address and we’ll delete your account, profile, messages, and check-ins. Uninstalling the app removes all on-device data, including your DAWG journal.

We’ll update this policy if the app’s behavior changes, and note the new effective date above.
