Airforge — Privacy Policy

Effective 11 July 2026 · Last updated 11 July 2026

Airforge is an offline field toolkit for HVAC/R technicians. It has no account and no sign-in, and it does not collect personal information about you. This policy explains the little data that does exist, where it lives, and the third-party services the app relies on to show ads and process purchases.

The short version. Everything you enter — settings, job records, your company details — stays on your device. Airforge never sends it anywhere. The only data leaving the app is handled by Google to serve ads (which you can turn off) and to process an optional in-app purchase.

1. Who we are

Airforge is published by TapForge Studios (99 Cent Apps LLC), Crown Point, Indiana, USA. For any privacy question, contact contact@tapforgeapps.com.

2. Information the app stores on your device

The following is created by you and saved locally, using Android's standard app storage. It is not transmitted to us or to anyone else:

This data remains on the device until you delete it in the app, clear the app's storage, or uninstall Airforge. PDF reports are generated on the device; a report is shared only when you choose to send it, using your device's own share, email or messaging apps.

3. Information collected by third-party services

Google AdMob (advertising)

The free version of Airforge shows ads through Google AdMob. To serve and measure ads, Google may collect information such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address, general device information and ad-interaction data. Google acts as an independent controller of that data. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.

Consent (Google UMP)

Where required by law — for example in the EEA, the UK, and under US state privacy laws — Airforge uses Google's User Messaging Platform to ask for your consent choices before personalised ads are shown, and to record them. You can revisit these choices any time from Settings → Ad privacy options inside the app.

Google Play Billing (purchases)

Airforge Pro and Remove Ads are optional in-app purchases processed by Google Play. Google handles the payment; Airforge receives only a confirmation that the purchase was made (a purchase token and product ID). We never see or store your card number or billing address. See the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Permissions and why they are used

Airforge requests no access to your location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or files.

5. Your choices

6. Children

Airforge is a professional tool intended for adult trade technicians. It is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 (or the age defined by your local law).

7. Data retention and security

Because the app stores its data locally, retention is in your hands — data persists until you remove it. Data handled by Google's advertising and billing services is retained under Google's own policies. No method of electronic storage is completely secure, but Airforge keeps your entered data on your device rather than on our servers.

8. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and post the revised version at this URL. Material changes will be reflected in a future app update.
