Privacy Policy
Effective Date: October 2026. Your privacy and media autonomy are core to our architectural engineering.
1. Overview & Commitment to Zero-Data Logging
OptiForge ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website optiforgecdn.com, along with the OptiForge Image Optimizer and AI Alt Text WordPress plugins. Unlike conventional cloud compression proxies that route your raw uncompressed photos through third-party servers, OptiForge executes image conversion locally on your web server resources or directly via your designated OptiForge Cloud Vault.
2. Information We Collect
- Account & Transaction Data: When purchasing a Pro license, our Merchant of Record partners (Lemon Squeezy, LLC and Paddle Payments Ltd.) collect billing details, email addresses, and payment instrument tokens for invoicing, tax compliance, and license key generation. We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.
- License Activation Telemetry: To validate license keys and deliver automatic plugin updates, our handshake API validates your active WordPress site URL, PHP version, and plugin version. No media contents, filenames, or user personal data are ever transmitted during license verification.
- Edge CDN Caching: When custom CNAME edge delivery is active, public media files (images, web fonts, CSS) are cached across OptiForge Global Edge Network data centers according to standard HTTP cache headers. Standard edge connection metrics (IP address, user agent) are processed strictly for DDoS defense and cache routing.
3. Multimodal Vision AI Data Handling
When using OptiForge AI Alt Text & Image SEO Pro, image URLs or base64 streams are securely dispatched to the designated AI API (Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Anthropic Claude) via encrypted TLS 1.3 connections. These payloads are processed in stateless sessions solely to return alt text, titles, and descriptions, and are never used to train global foundation models under enterprise API agreements.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
The OptiForge website uses zero third-party advertising cookies, zero behavioral tracking scripts, and zero surveillance pixels. Essential session tokens may be stored temporarily by payment checkout modals solely to facilitate your transaction.
5. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Under GDPR and CCPA regulations, you hold the right to inspect, correct, or request deletion of any personal data associated with your customer account. To exercise your rights or request license termination, contact our privacy officer at [email protected].
