This Privacy Policy describes how golemforge.top ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use golemforge.top, a collection of free online tools located at https://golemforge.top. By accessing or using golemforge.top, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

golemforge.top is designed to provide utility through its tools while minimizing data collection. We collect the following types of information:

a. Information You Provide Directly

Most tools on golemforge.top operate client-side, meaning data is processed in your browser. We do not require accounts or registration. However, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, such as when contacting us via email (e.g., your email address and message content).

b. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit golemforge.top, our servers and third-party services may automatically log certain standard data provided by your web browser. This may include:

  • Log Data: Your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, the pages you visit on golemforge.top, the time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with specific tools, such as tool selection and frequency of use. This is aggregated and anonymized to improve functionality.
  • Device Information: Device type, operating system, and screen resolution to optimize tool presentation.

c. Tool Input Data

The primary function of golemforge.top is to process user-provided data (e.g., text, code, numbers, files) within its tools. This processing typically occurs locally within your browser. We do not store, retain, or transmit this input data to our servers unless explicitly stated for a specific tool requiring server-side processing (in which case, clear notice will be provided at the point of use).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the functionality, performance, and reliability of golemforge.top and its tools.
  • To analyze aggregated, non-personally identifiable usage trends to understand which tools are most valuable and guide future development.
  • To monitor and prevent technical issues, security threats, and abuse of golemforge.top.
  • To respond to your inquiries, comments, or feedback sent to our contact email.
  • To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

golemforge.top uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience and analyze service usage.

  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functions of golemforge.top and certain tools. Disabling them may affect site performance.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect aggregated data on website traffic and tool usage. This helps us understand visitor behavior without identifying individuals.
  • Preference Cookies: Used to remember your settings for specific tools (e.g., preferred output format, theme) to improve your future visits.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, some features of golemforge.top may not function properly without cookies.

4. Data Security Measures

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect. These include encryption (HTTPS/SSL) for data in transit and secure server infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

golemforge.top utilizes third-party services for operational purposes:

  • Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics, to understand website usage.
  • Hosting Services: golemforge.top is hosted on servers provided by a third-party hosting company.
  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): To serve website assets efficiently.

These third parties have access to your automatically collected information only to perform specific tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy policies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party service providers.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access & Correction: You can request details about the personal information we hold about you.
  • Opt-Out of Analytics: You can opt-out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Cookie Controls: Manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • Do Not Track: Our site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" signals. We rely on the settings and controls described in this policy.
  • Data Deletion: Since we do not typically store personal data from tool usage, deletion requests primarily apply to any contact information you have provided via email.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

7. Data Retention

We retain automatically collected log and analytics data for a period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, typically up to 26 months for analytical purposes. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely. Email correspondence is retained as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for our records. Tool input data processed client-side is not retained by our servers.

8. Children's Privacy

golemforge.top is not directed at individuals under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from Children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
