This policy describes how DarkForge AI ("DarkForge," "we," "us") handles information when you visit darkforgeai.com (the "Site") or contact us. We keep it short because we collect very little.
What we collect
Information you send us
When you submit the project brief form or email us, we receive what you provide: typically your name, email address, company, website, the service you're interested in, timeline, budget range, and your message. We use it to respond to you, scope and deliver work, and keep a record of our correspondence.
Technical information
Our hosting provider (Netlify) records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, requested pages and timestamps) to serve the Site and protect it from abuse. We do not run third-party advertising trackers or analytics pixels on this Site.
Cookies
The Site does not set tracking cookies. Any cookies present are strictly necessary for the hosting platform to serve the Site securely.
How we use information
- To reply to inquiries and prepare proposals.
- To deliver and support engagements you have contracted with us.
- To maintain the security and performance of the Site.
- To meet legal, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for automated marketing sequences. A person reads and replies to your brief.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of providers to operate the Site and handle inquiries: Netlify (hosting), FormSubmit (form delivery to our inbox), and Google Workspace (email). Each processes information only to provide its service to us. Fonts are self-hosted; no font requests go to third parties.
Retention
We keep inquiry records for as long as needed to respond and, if an engagement follows, for the duration of the relationship plus the period required for accounting and legal purposes. You can ask us to delete your inquiry at any time.
Your choices and rights
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you by emailing info@darkforgeai.com. California residents have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know what personal information we collect and to request deletion; we will honor verified requests and will not discriminate against you for exercising them.
Security
The Site is served over HTTPS with security headers enabled. Form submissions are transmitted over encrypted connections. No method of transmission is perfectly secure, but we apply the same practices we build for clients to our own properties.
Children
The Site is intended for businesses and is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes
We may update this policy as the Site or the law changes. The effective date above will reflect the latest revision.
