Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 9, 2026
Last updated: May9, 2026

Red Beard Foundry, LLC ("Red Beard Foundry," "we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information our mobile applications collect, why, who it's shared with, and the rights you have over it. We don't collect what we don't need. Where the law gives you control, we honor it.

1. Who We Are

Red Beard Foundry, LLC is an Indiana limited liability company headquartered in New Salisbury, Indiana, United States. We design and publish mobile applications, including Line Forge. This policy covers our applications and the website at redbeardfoundry.com.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly

Our applications do not require you to create an account. We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or postal address through normal app use. If you contact us by email, we receive whatever you choose to share in your message.

Information collected automatically

When you use our applications, the following information may be collected automatically:

• Device information: device model, operating system version, language, country, and general device identifiers.
• App usage data: in-app actions necessary for the app to function and to measure performance, such as which features are used and crash diagnostics.
• Advertising identifiers: on iOS, your Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) — but only if you grant App Tracking Transparency permission (see Section 5).
• Purchase information: when you make an in-app purchase, Apple processes the transaction and provides us with a transaction receipt. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve our applications.
• Display advertising, including personalized advertising where you have consented.
• Process and validate in-app purchases.
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Third-Party Services

Our applications integrate with third-party services that may collect information independently. We do not control how these services use the data they collect. The third parties we work with include:

Google AdMob

We use Google AdMob to serve advertisements within our applications. AdMob may collect device identifiers, IP address, advertising ID, and information about your interactions with ads. Google's handling of this data is governed by the Google Privacy Policy. You can learn how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Apple

Apple operates the App Store and processes in-app purchases through StoreKit. Apple's collection and use of information is governed by the Apple Privacy Policy.

5. App Tracking Transparency (iOS)

On iOS devices, Apple requires apps to ask for permission before tracking you across apps and websites owned by other companies. When you first launch the app, you will see a system prompt asking whether you allow tracking. If you allow it, our advertising partner can use your IDFA to deliver personalized ads. If you do not allow it, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized based on your activity in other apps. You can change your decision at any time in your device's Settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking.

6. Children's Privacy

Our applications are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the email below.

7. Your Privacy Rights

California residents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request deletion of that information, to correct inaccurate information, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. We do not sell your personal information. We do not knowingly share personal information of consumers under 16. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email below.

Other US state residents

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws (including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Utah, Oregon, Texas, Montana, and others as enacted) have similar rights to access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR / UK GDPR)

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: request deletion of your data, subject to legal exceptions.
• Restriction: request that we limit how we use your data.
• Portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing.
• Withdraw consent: where processing is based on consent, withdraw it at any time.
• Lodge a complaint: with your local data protection authority.

Lawful bases: we process data on the basis of your consent (for personalized advertising), our legitimate interests (operating and improving the app, preventing fraud), and our contractual obligations (processing purchases). The data controller is Red Beard Foundry, LLC at the address below.

8. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Aggregated and de-identified data may be retained indefinitely. Information collected by third-party services is retained according to their respective policies.

9. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. International Data Transfers

Red Beard Foundry is based in the United States. If you access our applications from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. By using our applications, you consent to this transfer.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated through our applications or by updating this page. Your continued use of our applications after a change indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
