This Privacy Policy explains how the CableForge mobile application ("CableForge," "the app," "we," "us") handles information. CableForge is published by TapForge Studios (99 Cent Apps LLC). By using the app, you agree to this policy.
None that identifies you. CableForge works entirely offline. It has no user accounts, no sign-in, and no cloud sync. The calculators and reference tables run locally on your device. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, location, or files.
The app stores one small setting on your device — whether you have purchased the ad-free upgrade — using local app storage. This never leaves your device and is removed when you uninstall the app.
The free version of CableForge displays ads through Google AdMob. To serve ads, Google and its ad partners may collect and process certain information, including:
This processing is performed by Google, not by us, under Google's own policies. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, CableForge uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request your consent before any personalized ads or non-essential data processing occurs, in line with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time from the app's consent option (where available) or by resetting your device advertising settings.
CableForge offers an optional one-time in-app purchase ("CableForge Pro") that removes ads. Payments are handled entirely by Google Play Billing. We never see or store your card number or payment details — Google processes the transaction and returns only a confirmation that the purchase is owned, which the app records as a local "Pro" flag. Google's handling of your payment is governed by the Google Privacy Policy and Google Play terms.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising beyond the AdMob processing described above. Information is shared only with:
The app keeps no server-side data about you. The only app-side data is the local purchase flag, retained on your device until you uninstall or clear the app's data. Data collected by Google for advertising is retained according to Google's policies.
CableForge is a professional field tool intended for tradespeople and adults. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The app is not configured as child-directed. If you believe a child has provided information through the ad networks, please contact us and we will assist as appropriate.
Because CableForge stores no personal data on servers and keeps only a non-sensitive local flag on your device, the data-breach surface is minimal. Data transmitted to Google for ads and billing is protected by Google's security practices.
We may update this policy as the app or applicable law changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, within the app or store listing. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
