Privacy policy

Information collected

Forge collects information you provide, including your name, email, optional phone number, movement self-assessment answers, goals, coaching applications, Anthony's assessment and program placement, account details, community posts, reactions, and private messages. Technical records may include referral and campaign details, browser information, and a privacy-preserving hash used for security and rate limiting.

How it is used

Information is used to save leads and consent records, operate member accounts, save your movement starting point, review coaching applications, provide the appropriate program and community access, answer private questions, protect the service, and improve the Forge experience. Marketing updates are sent only when you have asked for them.

Service providers

Forge uses infrastructure providers to host and protect the service. Cloudflare hosts the community, Resend delivers account emails, and Stripe processes subscription payments. Browser push services deliver notifications to devices that opt in. Forge stores message delivery records and whether an owner marked a message as using AI; this is not automatic AI detection. Forge does not store full card details. Information is not sold. It may be disclosed when required by law or needed to protect members and the service.

Mobile information and SMS choices

When you request Forge Fitness texts, we record your mobile number, the member-update and promotional categories you selected, consent time, source, disclosure version, confirmed time zone, and the account making the request. A phone-confirmation message proves control of the number before the requested choices become active. Security records may include a privacy-preserving hash and browser information. We store incoming texts, outgoing text content, delivery records, and opt-out events to provide the requested service, answer questions, prevent duplicate sends, honor preferences, and maintain consent evidence.

We do not sell or rent mobile numbers or SMS consent records. We do not share mobile information, SMS opt-in data, or consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may provide information needed by Twilio and other service providers that deliver and support our messaging program, subject to its permitted use. Other sharing provisions in this policy do not permit sharing SMS opt-in information for marketing or promotional purposes.

Both SMS categories are optional and are separate from email preferences, account creation, and purchases. Message frequency varies, and message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop both campaign categories, or withdraw either category at SMS preferences. Sending START alone does not renew consent. For help, reply HELP or email anthony@forgegreatness.com. Consent and opt-out records may be retained to document your choices and prevent unwanted messages.

Facebook and Instagram conversations

When Anthony authorizes a messaging connection and you contact the connected Facebook Page or professional Instagram account, Forge may receive your platform-scoped identifier, the receiving account, message text, attachment information, and message timestamps. We use these records to show the conversation to the owner and support replies through the same channel. Facebook and Instagram identities remain separate from your Forge account unless explicitly linked; a social conversation does not enroll you in email or text marketing.

Provider authorization credentials stay on the server and are not displayed to members. Message history distinguishes provider acceptance from delivery evidence where available. An owner may declare a reply human-written, AI-assisted, or unknown; this label is not automatic detection, and these inbox editors do not generate AI replies.

Disconnecting a provider removes its authorization credentials and saved conversations from Forge. Signed deletion or deauthorization requests from Meta remove matching local connection or conversation records. This does not delete original messages on Facebook or Instagram. Limited security/audit identifiers and a deletion-completion receipt may remain; those receipts do not contain message bodies or provider credentials.

For access, correction, or deletion requests relating to a social conversation, see data deletion instructions or email anthony@forgegreatness.com and identify the channel and account involved. Do not send passwords or provider access tokens.

Your choices

To withdraw marketing consent, request access or correction, or ask about deletion, email anthony@forgegreatness.com. Some security, consent, transaction, or legal records may need to be retained. A self-service privacy center is not yet available, so requests are handled directly.

Health information
