Ark Forge is a small independent site. It collects only the information needed to run the reader, remember Patreon access, and understand which chapters people reach.
The site records basic, anonymous events such as a site visit or the last chapter reached. These records can include the page path, app version, build edition, chapter label, general device class, and a random visitor identifier.
If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, the storefront does not send its visit event. Analytics are used to improve pacing and understand where readers stop. Ark Forge does not sell reader data.
Patreon sign-in is optional and only needed for the patron edition. When you connect Patreon, the site may store your Patreon user identifier, display name, avatar URL, membership status, entitled amount, tier names, and a secure hashed session record. It does not store your Patreon password or payment details.
Signing out removes the active browser session. Patreon remains responsible for its own account and payment records under its privacy terms.
Cloudflare hosts the site and its data. Patreon provides membership authentication. Google Fonts supplies the public typefaces used on the storefront. Each service may process connection information under its own terms.
