Privacy Policy

ForgeBill • Last updated: 28 March 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to ForgeBill — a beautiful, native, offline-first invoicing app for Australian freelancers, contractors and small businesses.

We take your privacy extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy explains exactly what information we collect (spoiler: almost none), how we use it, and how we protect it.

2. Information We Collect

We collect almost no personal data.

All your invoices, clients, quotes, receipts, and business information are stored locally on your device using SwiftData. Nothing is sent to us or any third-party server unless you explicitly choose to enable iCloud sync.

On-device only:

4. iCloud Sync (Optional)

If you turn on iCloud sync in Settings, your data is synced using Apple’s private CloudKit service. Your data never passes through our servers — it stays in your personal iCloud account.

5. No Data Selling or Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third parties for marketing or advertising. We do not use analytics tools or tracking SDKs.

6. Children’s Privacy

ForgeBill is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

7. Your Rights

You can delete all your data at any time from Settings → Data Management. Because everything is stored locally, you have full control.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. The latest version will always be available on this page.
