PRIVACY

Protocol 001: User Sovereignty

The Foundation

At Forging Light, we believe your data belongs to you. Our architecture is built on the principle of minimal footprint. We do not track, record, or harvest user behavior for monetization.

Data Collection & Consent

We do not share any information with third parties. Any data processed through our applications (TruFilm, StoryForge, etc.) is handled strictly upon your explicit approval and within the scope of the specific process required by the user.

Strict Record Policy: We do not keep records of your personal data, project files, or creative assets on our servers unless specifically requested for cloud-sync features you opt-in to.

Challenge Submissions & Anonymous Data

For features like the TruFilm 36 A Day Challenge, we collect absolutely no personal identity information. Your app generates a localized, anonymous device ticket that acts as your unique identifier.

To verify your entry into the challenge, we securely transmit only:

  • A low-resolution copy of the specific image you submit
  • The date the image was captured
  • Your anonymous, randomly generated ticket ID

No other data from your device or camera roll is accessed or transmitted. This data is not tied to your name or email, and is never shared or sold.

Financial Security

Forging Light does not store credit card numbers or sensitive personal financial data of any sort. All financial transactions (including In-App Purchases) are handled via industry-standard, encrypted third-party processors (such as Apple) where the payment data never touches our internal database.

Apple Developer Compliance

In accordance with Apple’s privacy guidelines, we confirm that our apps do not use tracking software. We do not access your location, contacts, or camera roll without a direct, functional prompt initiated by you to provide the core service of the application.
