Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
Forge is a personal fitness and training app operated by Healthspan Group LLC. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we share it, and the choices you have.
For details on how we handle consumer health data specifically — including injuries and pain you log — see our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
Information we collect
- Account information — your name, email address, and authentication credentials.
- Fitness and health information you provide — workouts, nutrition logs, sleep, body composition, and data from services you choose to connect, such as Strava, Oura, Whoop, or Intervals.icu.
- Mobile phone number — collected only if you choose to turn on coaching text messages.
- Usage information — basic product analytics about how the app is used, so we can fix problems and improve features.
How we use your information
- To operate the app: log your training, show progress, and generate personalized coaching guidance.
- To send the coaching text messages you opted in to receive.
- To keep your account secure and to diagnose and fix problems.
We do not sell your personal information.
Text messaging (SMS)
Coaching text messages are entirely optional. If you turn them on in Settings, you enter your own mobile number and confirm it with a one-time verification code. You can turn them off at any time.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Your mobile number, and the content of the messages you send and receive (which can include health information you text to the coach), are disclosed only to our SMS delivery provider (Twilio) for the sole purpose of delivering and receiving your coaching messages. Neither is ever shared with advertisers or used for marketing by anyone else.
You can reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages, or HELP for help. Message and data rates may apply.
How we share information
We share information only with service providers that help us operate the app, and only to the extent needed to do so. These include cloud hosting and database providers, our SMS delivery provider, and error monitoring and product analytics tooling. Each is bound by contract to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.
AI processing. Relevant parts of your training and health information — including injuries and pain you log — are sent to Anthropic, our AI provider, to generate coaching guidance. Anthropic processes this information on our behalf and does not use it to train their models.
We do not share your health or fitness information for advertising. We may disclose information where required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Data retention and security
We keep your information for as long as your account is active. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and access is restricted to the systems and personnel that need it to run the service.
Consumer health data — including injuries and pain you log — is retained and deleted under the terms of our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy.
Your choices
- Turn coaching text messages off at any time in Settings, or by replying STOP.
- Disconnect any third-party integration at any time in Settings.
- Request a copy of your data, or deletion of your account and its data, by contacting us.
