Privacy Policy

Last updated 4 July 2026. In short: the calculators run in your browser, we don't collect your personal data, and our ad partner may use cookies.

The calculators run in your browser

Every calculator on Forge Numbers runs entirely on your device using client-side code. The numbers you enter — loan amounts, balances, rates, incomes and so on — are processed right there in your browser to produce a result. They are not sent to us, and we do not store, log or transmit the figures you type into any tool.

Personal data we collect

The site owner does not ask for or collect personal information such as your name, email address or financial details in order to use the calculators. There are no accounts to create and no sign-up. If you choose to email us (for example at contact@forgenumbers.com), we will of course see the email address and message you send, and we use that only to reply to you.

Advertising and cookies

Forge Numbers is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads, and third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.

These advertising cookies are set by the ad provider, not by us, and they may be used to make ads more relevant and to measure their performance. We do not receive your personal information through this process.

Your choices and how to opt out

You have control over advertising cookies. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads. You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices. To learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's privacy and terms at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Third-party links

Our pages and guides may link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before sharing any information with them.

Children's privacy

Forge Numbers is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after any change means you accept the updated policy.
