Privacy at Forged With Friends
Forged With Friends is designed to collect as little information as possible. Campaign data is stored so shared rooms can function, and limited web analytics are used to understand how the application is being used.
Campaign Data
Shared rooms may contain information you and your group enter, including crew information, clocks, notes, contacts, factions, cohorts, upgrades, claims, player characters, and other campaign information.
This information is stored using Forged With Friends' backend infrastructure, provided by Supabase, so that rooms can persist and stay synchronized between everyone participating in them.
Player characters may optionally include an uploaded portrait image. Portrait images are stored using Supabase Storage and served from a public URL — like room links, anyone who obtains that URL can view the image directly, independent of the room. Don't upload images you wouldn't want accessible this way.
Forged With Friends also records basic room-level timestamps — such as when a room was last opened and when it was last meaningfully updated — to help us understand overall usage. These timestamps are not tied to individual visitors.
Shared Room Links
Forged With Friends rooms currently use shareable links rather than accounts or passwords. Anyone who has a valid room link may be able to access — and modify — that room.
Treat room links as private. Share them only with the people you intend to have access, avoid posting them publicly, and avoid entering highly sensitive personal information into a room.
Fields labeled GM or similar are a presentation convention, not access control. They are not securely private unless the application explicitly states otherwise, and it currently does not.
Analytics
Forged With Friends uses Vercel Web Analytics to understand general usage of the service — for example, how many people visit the home page, open a room, or read this page.
Vercel describes this data as anonymous: individual data points aren't tied to a person, account, or IP address. The information collected can include the page visited, referrer, approximate geolocation (such as country or region), and general device/browser type.
Room visits are measured in aggregate. Forged With Friends does not intentionally send individual room identifiers, crew names, notes, clocks, factions, or other campaign content to analytics.
We do not use analytics to identify individual campaigns or inspect campaign content.
Cookies
Vercel Web Analytics does not use cookies. It identifies visits using a temporary value derived from each request, which is automatically discarded after 24 hours, rather than a persistent identifier.
Forged With Friends does not currently set any application cookies of its own.
Service Providers
Forged With Friends runs on a small number of infrastructure providers, who may process technical information necessary to operate the application:
Data Ownership
Forged With Friends does not claim ownership of your original campaign content.
Data Export
You can use Export Room at any time to download a portable copy of a room's campaign data. Exporting does not remove or delete anything from the room itself.
Data Deletion
Forged With Friends does not currently provide self-service account or room deletion. If you need help with stored campaign data, contact us through the Feedback link.
Accounts
Forged With Friends does not currently require user accounts for shared rooms.
Product Updates
If you choose to request product updates, Forged With Friends stores the email address you provide so we can send those updates.
Subscribing to product updates is optional and is not required to create or join a room.
You can unsubscribe from future updates at any time using the unsubscribe link included with update emails. Unsubscribing stops future update emails — it does not delete your subscriber record, and it has no effect on any room or campaign data, which are unrelated to this list.
Feedback
When you contact Forged With Friends through the Feedback link, we receive whatever information you voluntarily include in that message. Feedback messages are not anonymous — they come from whatever email address or method you choose to send them from.
The Feedback link does not automatically include room contents, notes, or other campaign data — only non-sensitive context such as the page you were on and the app's Beta status.
