Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Forge Budget handles information when you create and manage a personal budget.

Effective date: 12 October 2026

Who provides Forge Budget

Forge Budget is provided by FORGE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES (PTY) LTD, trading as Forge Digital Technologies in South Africa.

Budget information

You may enter income, expenses, categories, notes and related budgeting information. This information is used to calculate and display your budget.

Your budgeting information is stored locally on your device. Forge Budget does not upload your budget entries to Forge Digital Technologies, and we do not store those entries on our servers. You do not need to create an account to use the app.

Payments

Purchases of the Google Play version are processed by Google Play. Forge Digital Technologies does not receive or store your full payment-card or bank-account details. Google Play may provide transaction information required to confirm purchase and licensing.

Sharing and exports

If you choose to export or share a budget, the selected information is sent through the app or service you choose. Once shared, that information is handled according to the receiving service’s privacy practices.

Advertising and sale of information

Forge Digital Technologies does not sell personal budgeting information or use it for targeted advertising. Forge Budget does not contain advertising or analytics tracking.

Storage and deletion

Budgeting information remains on your device until you delete it, reset the app or remove the app and its stored data. Android backup settings may affect whether application data is included in a device backup.

Protect exported budget files because they may contain private financial information.

Security

Reasonable technical and organisational safeguards are used to protect information. No electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your choices and rights

You control the information entered into Forge Budget and may delete or reset information using the controls available in the app or Android settings. Privacy questions can be sent to supportforgetechnologies@gmail.com.

Children’s privacy

Forge Budget is intended for adults aged 18 and older. Budget entries remain on the device; Forge Digital Technologies cannot access or delete those local entries on your behalf.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when Forge Budget’s features, legal obligations or service providers change. The effective date will be updated when a revised policy is published.
