TL;DR
- We don't require accounts, don't collect emails, don't log your tool inputs.
- Calculations happen in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers.
- Google AdSense is the only third-party that may set cookies, and only for ad personalization.
- You can opt out of personalized ads at any time via Google Ads Settings.
1. Information we do not collect
ReelForge is built so the only way it could collect your data is if we changed the code. We haven't, and we audit this quarterly.
- Your name, email, phone, or contact information. There is no signup form anywhere on the site.
- The text you paste into any tool (hooks, scripts, titles, captions). Processing happens in JavaScript inside your browser tab.
- The values you enter or the results they produce. We don't store them.
- Your ReelForge browsing history beyond anonymous aggregate counts.
- Your IP address in any persistent form. Basic server logs retain IP for 24 hours for abuse prevention, then are deleted.
2. Cookies that ReelForge itself does not set
ReelForge does not set any cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Plausible, Matomo, Mixpanel, Segment, or any other analytics or tracking SDK.
If you open your browser's cookie inspector after using the site, you will see only cookies set by third-party ad networks (see Section 4) and any you set yourself via browser settings.
3. Local storage and device storage
We do not write to localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, or cookies set by our domain. Tool inputs and results live in JavaScript variables that are cleared when you navigate or close the tab.
4. Third-party advertising — Google AdSense
ReelForge displays ads served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Personalized ads. By default, Google may show ads tailored to your inferred interests. You can opt out at Google Ads Settings.
- Non-personalized ads. Even if you don't opt out, you can request non-personalized ads; you'll still see ads, just less relevant ones.
- Third-party vendor cookies. Other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to ReelForge or other sites.
Categories of cookies set by Google AdSense (see Google's documentation for the full list):
IDE,id— ad personalization.DSID,LSID— cross-domain authentication.SSID,APISID— security and anti-fraud.SID,SAPISID— session integrity.NID— preference storage.1P_JAR,CONSENT— consent state.
Google's full ad technology policy: policies.google.com/technologies/ads
5. EU user consent (GDPR / ePrivacy)
For visitors from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Google AdSense displays a consent banner (provided by Google) the first time an ad is requested. That banner lets you accept, reject, or customize ad personalization. ReelForge does not set its own consent cookie.
If you reject personalized ads, you will still see ads — Google will simply show non-personalized ones based on the page topic and your general geography.
6. California users (CCPA / CPRA)
California residents have the right to know what personal information is collected about them, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. ReelForge itself collects no personal information that would be subject to these rights. The only entity that may hold information about your visit is Google, governed by Google's own privacy policy and California-specific disclosures at policies.google.com/privacy.
To exercise CCPA rights regarding Google's use of your data, follow the instructions on Google's "My Account" page or contact Google directly.
7. Children
ReelForge is not directed at children under 13 (COPPA) or under 16 (GDPR). We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used our contact forms, please email privacy@reelforge.studio and we will respond within 7 days.
8. Embedded third-party content
ReelForge embeds only two third-party resources: the Tailwind CSS CDN (no cookies) and the Font Awesome CDN (no cookies). We do not embed YouTube videos, Twitter/X posts, or any other content that could set its own cookies.
9. Data retention
ReelForge retains no personal data. Standard server access logs (which include transient IP addresses for 24 hours) are kept for the sole purpose of detecting abuse and are automatically deleted thereafter.
10. International transfers
If you are outside the United States, please be aware that Google AdSense may process your ad-cookie data in the United States or other Google-operated regions. Google's standard contractual clauses and Privacy Shield successor mechanisms apply.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy as our tools, ad partners, or legal landscape change. When we do, we update the "Effective" date at the top. Material changes will also be highlighted with a banner for at least 14 days. Continuing to use ReelForge after a change indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
12. Contact for privacy questions
If you have a question, concern, or formal request related to privacy or data:
- Email: privacy@reelforge.studio
