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.
