## 1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

### Personal information you disclose to us

***In Short: We collect personal information that you provide voluntarily.***

We collect information that you give us directly when you express interest in our products or Services, participate in activities on our Services, or otherwise reach out to us.

**Personal Information You Provide.** The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with us, which Services you use, and the choices you make. This may include:

– Names
– Phone numbers
– Email addresses

**Sensitive Information.** We do not process sensitive personal information.

All personal information you provide must be accurate and complete, and you must update us if any of it changes.

### Information automatically collected

***In Short: Certain information — such as IP address and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you visit our Services.***

When you access or navigate our Services, we automatically collect certain technical information. This information does not by itself reveal your identity but may include device and usage data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, approximate location, and details about how you use the Services. This data helps us maintain security, support operations, and conduct internal analytics.

We also collect information through cookies and similar technologies.

The information we collect includes:

– **Log and Usage Data.** Service-related, diagnostic, and performance data our servers record, including IP address, device information, browser type, usage activity, timestamps, and error reports.
– **Location Data.** Information about your device’s approximate or precise location. The level of detail depends on your device settings. You may disable location collection through your device settings, though doing so may limit functionality of some Services.

## 2. HOW DO WE PROCESS YOUR INFORMATION?

***In Short: We process your information to provide and improve our Services, communicate with you, prevent fraud, and comply with law. We may also process information with your consent.***

We process your personal information for reasons that include:

– **Delivering services to you.** To provide the Services you have requested.
– **Responding to inquiries.** To reply to questions and resolve issues you raise.
– **Sending administrative communications.** To keep you informed about changes to our products, Services, terms, or policies.
– **Requesting feedback.** To ask about your experience and improve our offerings.
– **Sending marketing communications.** To send marketing messages, consistent with your preferences. You can opt out at any time.
– **Delivering targeted advertising.** To tailor content and ads to your interests and context.
– **Measuring marketing effectiveness.** To evaluate and improve the performance of our campaigns.
– **Communications opt-in.** To fulfill your opt-in requests for marketing and customer service messages.

## 3. WHEN AND WITH WHOM DO WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?

***In Short: We share information only in the specific situations described below.***

We may share your personal information in the following circumstance:

– **Business Transfers.** During negotiations of, or in connection with, any merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of company assets, we may transfer your information to the relevant counterparty.

## 4. DO WE USE COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES?

***In Short: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect and store information.***

We and our service providers may use cookies, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies to gather information when you interact with our Services. Some of these technologies support site security, prevent crashes, save preferences, and enable core site functionality.

We also permit third parties and service providers to use tracking technologies for analytics and advertising — including to tailor ads to your interests, manage ad delivery, and send reminders such as abandoned cart notifications (depending on your preferences). These third parties may display their advertising on our Services or on other websites.

To the extent these technologies constitute a “sale” or “sharing” (including targeted advertising) under applicable US state privacy laws, you can opt out as described in **Section 10** below.

For more detail on cookies and how to reject them, please refer to our Cookie Notice.

## 5. HOW LONG DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION?

***In Short: We retain your information only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this Notice, unless otherwise required by law.***

We will keep your personal information for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Notice, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law (for example, for tax, accounting, or compliance reasons).

When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it, or — if that is not possible (for example, because it is held in backup archives) — securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is feasible.

## 6. HOW DO WE KEEP YOUR INFORMATION SAFE?

***In Short: We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect your information.***

We have implemented security measures designed to protect the personal information we process. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee that unauthorized parties will not defeat our safeguards. Although we work to protect your personal information, transmission to and from our Services is at your own risk. Please only use our Services in a secure environment.

## 7. DO WE COLLECT INFORMATION FROM MINORS?

***In Short: We do not knowingly collect data from, or market to, anyone under 18.***

We do not knowingly solicit information from or market to individuals under 18, and we do not knowingly sell such personal information. By using our Services, you represent that you are at least 18, or that you are the parent or guardian of a minor and consent to that minor’s use of the Services. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from someone under 18, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable steps to delete the data. If you believe we may hold data from a minor, please contact us at **admin@forgedcapital.biz**.

## 8. WHAT ARE YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS?

***In Short: Depending on your location, you may have rights to review, change, or terminate your account at any time.***

**Withdrawing consent.** Where we rely on your consent (express or implied) to process your personal information, you may withdraw that consent at any time by contacting us using the details in Section 12. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted before the withdrawal, nor any processing carried out on other lawful grounds.

**Opting out of marketing communications.** You can unsubscribe from marketing messages at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in our emails, replying “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” to our SMS messages, or contacting us through the details in Section 12. After opting out, you may still receive transactional or service-related messages.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information may be shared with subcontractors providing support services (such as customer service). SMS originator opt-in data and consent will never be shared with third parties.

**Cookies and similar technologies.** Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can usually set your browser to remove or reject them. Doing so may affect some features of our Services.

For questions about your privacy rights, email us at **admin@forgedcapital.biz**.

## 9. CONTROLS FOR DO-NOT-TRACK FEATURES

Most web browsers and some mobile systems offer a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) setting that you can enable to indicate your preference not to have online browsing data monitored. No uniform standard exists yet for recognizing and implementing DNT signals. Because of that, we currently do not respond to DNT browser signals or similar mechanisms. If a recognized standard emerges that we are required to follow, we will update this Notice.

California law requires that we explain how we respond to browser DNT signals. Because there is no accepted industry or legal standard, we do not currently respond to them.

***In Short: Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, or Virginia may have specific rights regarding their personal information, including the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of it, and to withdraw consent. These rights may be subject to certain legal limits.***
