OAuth sign-in through Discord: Discord user ID, profile data. Data processed: unique identifiers of the User on Discord; location only with prior consent. Privacy: https://discord.com/privacy
The services contained in this section enable the Owner to monitor and analyze web traffic and can be used to keep track of User behavior.
Forge uses Vercel Web Analytics to collect aggregated and anonymised statistics on visits to the site (page views, traffic sources, devices used, performance). The service is cookieless and uses neither persistent identifiers of the User nor cross-site tracking technologies. The data collected are privacy-first and compliant with the GDPR without the need for prior consent, as declared by the provider.
Data collected: aggregated usage data, device type, country of origin (at aggregate level).
Place of processing: United States — Privacy Policy.
Forge uses Resend as its SMTP provider to send transactional emails to Users. In particular, Resend handles the sending of:
- registration confirmation and account verification emails
- password recovery emails
- emails containing the link to the PDF of the deck generated after purchase
- other service communications relating to the use of the platform
Resend acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Owner and processes only the data needed to deliver the emails (recipient's email address, message content, delivery logs).
Personal Data collected: email address, email interaction logs (opens, clicks, any bounces).
Place of processing: United States — Privacy Policy.
If the User enables notifications, delivery goes through the push service of the browser vendor (Google, Mozilla or Apple), which receives the device's technical delivery endpoint. Notifications can be turned off at any time from the browser or profile settings.
This type of service allows you to view content hosted on external platforms directly from the pages of this Application and interact with them. Such services are often referred to as widgets, which are small elements placed on a website or app. They provide specific information or perform a particular function and often allow for user interaction.
This type of service might still collect web traffic data for the pages where the service is installed, even when Users do not use it.
The website and the app fetch card data and images directly from the Scryfall LLC (United States) APIs. Scryfall receives the User's IP address and the search terms (card names, including those recognised by the scanner); no account data is transmitted. Usage complies with the Scryfall terms of service.
Tax compliance - issuing and transmitting the electronic invoice to the Italian Interchange System (Sistema di Interscambio, SdI). Data processed: full name / company name, tax code / VAT number, billing address, purchase amount. The billing details panel also collects an optional phone number: it is not transmitted to the SdI, but it is shared with Stripe for payment management.
Unless otherwise specified, this Application processes any payments by credit card, bank transfer or other means via external payment service providers. In general and unless where otherwise stated, Users are requested to provide their payment details and personal information directly to such payment service providers. This Application isn't involved in the collection and processing of such information: instead, it will only receive a notification by the relevant payment service provider as to whether payment has been successfully completed.
Stripe is a payment service provided by Stripe, Inc.
This type of service has the purpose of hosting Data and files that enable this Application to run and be distributed or to provide a ready-made infrastructure to run specific features or parts of this Application.
Some services among those listed below, if any, may work through geographically distributed servers, making it difficult to determine the actual location where the Personal Data are stored.

Error monitoring and application diagnostics. Data processed: usage data; IP addresses; the user's context at the time of the error (user agent, URL, stack trace). Privacy: https://sentry.io/privacy/
This type of service allows Users to interact with data collection platforms or other services directly from the pages of this Application for the purpose of saving and reusing data.
If one of these services is installed, it may collect browsing and Usage Data in the pages where it is installed, even if the Users do not actively use the service.
Forge uses the Anthropic Claude API to generate the personalised Commander decks requested by the User. The choices made by the User in the wizard (game format, archetype, preferences, optional free-text theme) are sent to Anthropic as prompts, processed by the Claude models and returned as text output (decklist and strategy guide).
When employed, Claude also processes the questions addressed to the conversational assistants (Archivista, Collection Custode, Tessitrice), deck analyses and the translations of combos and rulings. Only game data is sent to the artificial-intelligence systems: Users are asked not to include personal data in their conversations.
Anthropic acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Owner, does not use the User's data to train its models and retains it only for the time needed to provide the service. Data is transferred to the United States on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Personal Data collected: usage data, contents of the requests made by the User.
Place of processing: United States — Privacy Policy.
Forge uses Voyage AI to generate vector embeddings (numerical representations) from descriptive texts of Magic cards and from the feedback received from experts, in order to feed the semantic retrieval system (RAG) that improves the quality of deck generation.
The data sent to Voyage AI are technical texts relating to the game and do not include data identifying the User. Voyage AI acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Owner. The data are transferred to the United States on the basis of the Standard Contractual Clauses.
Personal Data collected: no directly identifying personal data; aggregated usage data.
Place of processing: United States — Privacy Policy.
This type of service allows interaction with social networks or other external platforms directly from the pages of this Application.
The interaction and information obtained through this Application are always subject to the User’s privacy settings for each social network.
This type of service might still collect traffic data for the pages where the service is installed, even when Users do not use it.
It is recommended to log out from the respective services in order to make sure that the processed data on this Application isn’t being connected back to the User’s profile.
Shares towards the Discord community (decks, showcases, binders, wishlists, trades and applications) go through a bot operated by the Owner and hosted on Railway infrastructure in the EU. The bot receives the user identifier, the Discord identifier, the public display name and the shared content; only with a separate, revocable consent does it also receive the location voluntarily declared by the User (region, province, city). No sharing happens without explicit acceptance of the sharing terms.
Artificial-intelligence features (deck generation and gameplay guides, Archivista, Collection Custode, Tessitrice, deck analyses, translations of combos and rulings). Gemini is the primary model for the conversational and generation features. Data processed: usage data; user-provided content (questions to the assistant, deck context). Only game data is sent to the artificial-intelligence systems: Users are asked not to include personal data in their conversations. Google acts as a Data Processor on behalf of the Owner. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
The service is reserved for adults (18+). The date of birth is collected on a mandatory basis in order to verify the User's age and legal capacity (Art. 2 of the Italian Civil Code). Data processed: date of birth; tax code (for electronic invoicing).
First-party technical cookie that allows the automatic geographic detection to be bypassed. It stores the user's preference as to their own geographic location for the purpose of using the service. Duration: 1 year.
First-party technical cookie that stores the user's language preference. It keeps the selected language across browsing sessions.
Some Forge features (deck generation and analysis, strategy guides, rules and collection chats, theme definition, translations of combos and rulings) rely on artificial-intelligence systems. The relevant surfaces are clearly marked in the app and on the website, the notice is shown before use, and generated content is labelled as such. Only game data (card lists, build constraints, game questions) is sent to the artificial-intelligence systems: Users are asked not to enter personal data. Camera-based card recognition runs entirely on the User's device and no image is ever uploaded to our servers. Generated content may contain inaccuracies and does not constitute professional advice.
This privacy policy also applies to the Forge app for iOS, which offers the same features as the website and relies on the same backend. In addition: Camera and scanner - the camera is used solely to recognise trading cards; recognition (Apple Vision and CoreML) happens entirely on the device, no image is ever transmitted to or stored on our servers, and the app does not access the photo library. Artificial intelligence features - before their first use the app shows a consent panel; the choice can be changed at any time from the Profile section and, if declined, those features stay disabled. Billing details - the in-app billing panel collects the same data listed in the electronic invoicing clause. The app contains no in-app purchases, uses no advertising identifiers and performs no tracking.
At the User's explicit request, our servers fetch deck lists or tournament data from URLs supplied by the User (Moxfield, Archidekt, TappedOut, Deckstats, EDHREC, Commander Spellbook, TopDeck.gg). The request originates from our servers and no User account data is transmitted to those platforms.
This type of service analyzes the traffic of this Application, potentially containing Users' Personal Data, with the purpose of filtering it from unwanted parts of traffic, messages and content that are recognized as spam or protecting it from malicious bots activities.
To prevent abuse and unauthorised access, the website computes a technical device identifier (a hash of browser characteristics such as user agent, screen, language and time zone) and keeps security logs containing IP address and user agent, with limited retention. These data are used exclusively for security purposes and are never used for advertising or profiling.
Data processed: the content of messages in 1-to-1 chats; metadata (sender, recipient, date and time); data of exchange/transfer proposals (cards involved, quantity, status and outcome); any indicative price; any further data that the user freely chooses to share in the messages (e.g. contact details, shipping address).
Purposes: to allow direct communication between users; to manage and carry out exchanges/transfers by updating the respective collections in the application; to ensure the security and traceability of transactions; to prevent abuse.
Legal basis: performance of a service requested by the user (Art. 6.1.b GDPR); for the further data shared freely, the user's consent (Art. 6.1.a); for the transaction record, the record-keeping obligation under Art. 2220 of the Italian Civil Code and the legitimate interest (Art. 6.1.f) for security and evidentiary purposes.
Retention: messages in conversations with no open exchange are deleted automatically after 90 days; in conversations with an exchange still open they remain until the exchange is completed or lapses. Exchange proposals that are not approved lapse after 48 hours. The transaction record is kept for 7 years. When an account is closed, the references to the user in the audit logs are anonymised: the row remains for the integrity of the record, with no link to the user. At any time the user may block another user and report a conversation from the chat.
Data Processor: the data are stored and processed through Supabase (database and realtime), which acts as data processor on the basis of a specific agreement (DPA).
Security: communications encrypted in transit (TLS) and data encrypted at rest.
Forge does not process the payment and shipping data relating to exchanges: if users share them in the messages, they remain in the conversation and follow the retention periods set out above.
For users who join the exhibition section, Commander Forge publishes the stage name, the biography and any links to the channels indicated by the artist, together with the works uploaded. The legal basis is consent (Art. 6.1.a GDPR), given separately for each work and withdrawable at any time by removing the work from the artist's personal area; withdrawal takes immediate effect on the public part of the site.
The pages of published works are intended to be indexed by search engines: this is the very purpose of the exhibition, and it is disclosed to the artist before consent is collected.
The artist's email address is never published. Contact takes place exclusively through internal messaging, and only if the artist has expressly enabled it.
When consent is collected, the following are recorded: the full text accepted, its version, the language, the date and time, a non-reversible derived value of the IP address and the browser identifier, for the sole purpose of being able to demonstrate that consent was obtained. These records are kept for the duration of the publication of the work and for the two years thereafter, on the basis of the legitimate interest in the establishment or defence of legal claims.
The uploaded works and their public copies are stored on Supabase Storage, which acts as data processor on the basis of a specific agreement (DPA). When a work is withdrawn or the account is closed, the public copies are deleted.
The Owner may process Personal Data relating to Users if one of the following applies:
Unless specified otherwise in this document, Personal Data shall be processed and stored for as long as required by the purpose they have been collected for and may be retained for longer due to applicable legal obligation or based on the Users’ consent.
