Privacy policy

Forge & Form is a coaching business, not an advertising business. We collect the minimum we need to program your training, take your payment and keep the community safe — and nothing we can sell on.

01

What we collect

Account details you give us (name, email, password), training information you choose to log (bodyweight, lifts, session notes, injury history you disclose to your coach), payment details processed by our payment provider, and basic analytics about how the site is used. Video form checks you upload are training data and are treated as such.

02

Why we collect it

To write and adjust your programming, to answer your check-ins, to take payment for the plan you chose, to run the members' community, and to send you the emails you asked for. Health and injury information you share is used only by your coach to keep your training safe.

03

Payments

Card details are handled directly by our payment processor and never stored on our servers. We keep a record of what you bought and when, because tax law requires it.

04

Who sees your data

Your coach, and the service providers who run our email, hosting, video and payment infrastructure. We do not sell your data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not post your results or before-and-after photos anywhere without asking you first, in writing, each time.

05

How long we keep it

Training records stay for as long as you have an account, plus twelve months, so a returning member's history is intact. Financial records are kept for seven years. Everything else is deleted when you close your account.

06

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of everything we hold on you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it — email us and we will action it within thirty days. You can leave the community, unsubscribe from email, or cancel a plan at any time without giving a reason.

07

Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in and to understand which pages people actually read. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are set by us. Your browser can block all of them; the site still works, you will just have to log in more often.
