Privacy Policy
Last updated August 2026. This policy describes what the VoltForge site actually collects and stores.
Calculator inputs stay on your device
VoltForge has no account system and does not store calculator inputs on any server. All calculations run entirely in your browser: the numbers you enter are processed on your own device and are never transmitted to or saved by VoltForge.
Payments are processed by Stripe
VoltForge tools are free. The only paid feature is a $9.99 one-time unlock for unlimited report downloads (lifetime — no subscription, no renewal); donations are optional and repeatable. Both are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you pay, Stripe collects the payment information you provide (such as card and billing details) and processes it according to its own privacy policy. VoltForge receives the email address used at checkout for one purpose: verifying the report unlock. That is how the unlock works — on a new device, you enter the email you paid with and VoltForge checks with Stripe whether the one-time purchase was completed. No payment card details are ever handled or stored by VoltForge, and donations do not unlock any feature.
Local browser storage (localStorage)
The site uses your browser's localStorage on your own device to remember small pieces of state: unlock state (whether this device has the report unlock) and saved app state (saved calculator inputs). This data stays on your device, is not sent to VoltForge servers, and can be removed at any time by clearing your browser data for this site. VoltForge has no account system and does not store calculator inputs on any server.
Analytics and cookies
This site uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics service that counts page views and visits. It does not set tracking cookies and does not build cross-site profiles. No personal data is collected beyond standard web request metadata — your IP address is used only transiently to derive aggregate, country-level geography and is not stored as a personal identifier. You can opt out at any time by blocking the analytics script (for example with an ad-blocker or script blocker); the site works fully without it. If analytics tooling changes in the future, this policy will be updated to describe it.
