Privacy Policy

We set no cookies, run no analytics, and track nothing. The only personal data we hold is what you deliberately send us.

Last updated 13 August 2026.

Who we are

Forge & Function is an independent AI engineering studio operated by Shubham Mandal from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India. It is not a registered company; it is run personally by its founder.

For any question about this policy, or to have your data removed, email us and we will respond directly.

What we collect

Only what you choose to send. If you submit the enquiry form we receive the name, email address, company, project type, budget range and message you typed. If you submit the client feedback form we receive your name, role, company, rating and comments.

There are no accounts, no logins and no profiles on this site.

What we do not do

We do not set cookies. We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, session recording, fingerprinting or advertising technology of any kind. We do not build profiles of visitors, and we never sell, rent or share your data with anyone for marketing.

Third parties

The site is hosted by Vercel, which processes standard server request logs including IP addresses in order to serve pages and protect against abuse.

Typefaces are served from our own domain rather than a font CDN, so loading a page sends your IP address to no one but the host.

Enquiry and feedback submissions are delivered to our email inbox, either directly through your mail client or via the form delivery service Web3Forms.

Apart from hosting and that form delivery, this website loads no third-party resources at all — no fonts, no scripts, no embeds.

How long we keep it

Enquiries stay in our email for as long as the conversation is relevant, and are deleted on request.

Client project data is different and stricter: we retain nothing after handover. See the security page for detail.

Your choices

Email us at any time to ask what we hold about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. There is no form to fill in and no account to close — a message is enough.
