Effective Date: January 1, 2026

This Privacy Notice explains how Forge.io Pty Ltd collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1. Collection of Personal Information (APP 3-5)

Forge.io collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities as a cloud infrastructure provider. We collect information directly from you when you register for our services, and we only collect sensitive information with your consent.

2. Use and Disclosure (APP 6)

Personal information is used only for the primary purpose for which it was collected, or for a secondary purpose that you would reasonably expect. We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

3. Security of Personal Information (APP 11)

4. Cross-Border Disclosure (APP 8)

When you deploy to our Sydney (SYD-SOV-1) region, your data remains exclusively within Australian territory. Forge.io's infrastructure enforces data residency at the network level—there are no network paths that would route your data outside Australia.

5. Access and Correction (APP 12-13)

You have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to request correction of any inaccurate information. To make a request, contact us at the details provided below.

6. Complaints

If you believe we have breached the APPs or your privacy, you may lodge a complaint with us. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
