Privacy Policy

Draft for review. This policy is a working draft describing how Forven is built. Have it reviewed by counsel and confirm the processor list against your live infrastructure before relying on it.

Forven is free, open-source software that you self-host and run on your own machine. This policy explains what the informational Forven website (forven.app) collects and how that information is used. It does notcover the strategies, market data, or trades you run inside the software, which stay on your machine (see “What stays on your machine”). There is no Forven account and no sign-in.

Information we collect

  • Server logs. Standard request logs (IP address, user agent, timestamps) generated when you visit the website, used for security and debugging.
  • Aggregate analytics. We use privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics to understand which pages are visited. It does not track you across sites or build an advertising profile.

The website has no login, no account system, and no email intake form, so we do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or device identifiers.

What stays on your machine

Forven is local by default. Your strategies, market data, backtest and gauntlet runs, and any exchange or LLM API keys you provide are stored on your own device and are not transmitted to or stored by Forven unless you explicitly connect an external service. We never receive your trading keys.

How we use information

  • To operate, secure, and debug the website.
  • To understand aggregate, anonymous usage of the website.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Processors we rely on

We share the minimum data necessary with infrastructure providers that process it on our behalf:

  • Vercel — website hosting and privacy-friendly, cookieless web analytics. (Confirm your host/analytics before publishing.)

Retention and deletion

Server logs and aggregate analytics are retained only as long as needed for security and operating the site. Because there is no account, there is no profile to delete. Questions or requests? Email privacy@forven.app.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us to exercise them. We will respond within the period required by applicable law.

Children

Forven is not directed to anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the “last updated” date above.
