Forge Master Companion is a free Android app developed by Bobski as a personal project. This policy explains what the app does with your data. The short version: nothing leaves your phone, with one minor exception explained below.
None. The app has no user accounts, asks for no personal information, and sends no usage data, telemetry, or analytics anywhere. There is no crash reporting SDK, no advertising SDK, and no third-party analytics.
The app stores the following on your device only, using Android’s standard SharedPreferences and local files:
This data is sandboxed under Android’s normal app-data rules. Uninstalling the app removes it. None of it is uploaded anywhere.
The app uses Android’s MediaProjection API to capture screenshots when you trigger a scan. Each capture is processed in memory by on-device OCR (Google ML Kit and Tesseract), the text is read out, and the screenshot is discarded. Captured frames are never saved to your device’s storage and are never transmitted anywhere. Android shows a system dialog the first time the app uses this permission so you can refuse it.
The app makes a single outbound request to fetch game balance values from a public file on GitHub:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ForgeOverlay/FMOverlay/main/remote_config.json
The request is read-only and contains no personal information. GitHub, as the host, will see your device’s IP address and a standard User-Agent string — the same as if your browser fetched the file. GitHub’s privacy policy applies to that interaction: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement
The response is cached locally for one hour before being refreshed.

If anything changes, I’ll update this page and bump the “Last updated” date at the top.
