Privacy Policy

At CleanForge (accessible from https://cleanforge.cloud/), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by CleanForge and how we utilize it.

1. Zero-Knowledge Client-Side Tool Processing

CleanForge provides browser-based security diagnostics, file header hash calculations (SHA-256), URL analysis, and signature database searches. All diagnostic calculations occur strictly within your client browser environment. We do NOT upload, store, or transmit your inspected files, file names, or private system metadata to external backend servers.

2. Log Files

CleanForge follows standard procedures of utilizing server log files when hosting static assets. These files log visitors when they access websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other modern web portal, CleanForge uses 'cookies' to store preferences (such as your chosen UI language preference) and optimize user experience by customizing web page content based on visitors' browser type.

4. Google DoubleClick DART Cookie & Google AdSense

Google is one of our third-party vendors. It also uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to cleanforge.cloud and other sites on the internet.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers, request deletion of personal data, and request that a business not sell the consumer's personal data. CleanForge does not sell personal data.
