This Privacy Policy explains how BizProfitMarketing.com ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit and use Forgely (the "Service"), available at forgely.tools.
We've tried to write this in plain English. If anything's unclear, contact us at info@forgely.tools and we'll explain.
The short version: We don't store the text you paste into Forgely. We don't sell your data. We use cookies for analytics and advertising. You can use the core tool without an account.
1. Information we collect
Text you submit to the tool
When you paste text into the Forgely humanizer or detector, that text is sent to our servers and forwarded to a third-party AI provider (Anthropic) for processing. Once your result is returned, we do not store the input or output. The text is not saved to a database, used to train any AI model, or retained beyond the time needed to process your request.
Information collected automatically
When you visit Forgely, we and our service providers may collect:
- Your IP address (used for rate limiting and abuse prevention)
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Referring website
- Pages visited and time spent on each
- Approximate geographic location (country/region only, derived from IP)
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies — required for the website to function properly

- Advertising cookies — used by Google AdSense and our other advertising partners to show relevant ads (see Section 4 below)

4. Advertising and Google AdSense
Forgely's free tier is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads on our pages. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to Forgely and other websites.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.com (for European users).
