Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

CompareForge is a content-based website. We do not require user accounts and we do not collect personal information while you browse.

The site has no contact form and no account system. If you email us at contact@compareforge.online, we receive whatever you choose to put in that email — typically your email address and message — and we use it only to reply.

Every tool on this site (calculators, comparisons, checkers and matrices) runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter are not sent to our servers, are not stored, and are cleared when you close or refresh the page. Some tools can encode your inputs into the page URL so you can share a result; those values travel inside the link you share.

Cookies and Local Storage

CompareForge itself does not set first-party cookies and does not write to browser local storage or session storage. Your web host may record standard server logs (IP address, requested URL, time, user agent) for security and reliability purposes.

Advertising cookies set by our advertising partner are separate from the above and are described in the next section.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertising. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or to other websites.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also instruct some third-party vendors to stop using cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices or www.youronlinechoices.com.

Third parties may be placing and reading cookies on your browser, or using web beacons or IP addresses to collect information as a result of ad serving on this website. For more detail on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps. Google's own treatment of information is described in Google's Advertising Technologies & Privacy Policies.

Fonts used on this site are self-hosted at build time, so loading a page does not contact a third-party font provider. CompareForge does not embed third-party analytics, social widgets or trackers beyond the advertising service described above.

How We Use Information

Information you email us is used solely to respond to your message. We do not sell, trade, or share personal information with third parties.

Data Retention

Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to respond and to maintain a record of the correspondence. Because the tools store nothing, there is no tool input data to retain or delete.

Your Rights

You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact@compareforge.online.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy when our practices change. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
