Introduction
BlueForge ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website at blueforge.studio and related services. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.
Data We Collect
We collect minimal data, limited to what you voluntarily provide:
- Name and email address — collected when you submit a contact form, join our waiting list, or subscribe to our newsletter.
- Message content — any information you include when contacting us through our forms.
We do not collect sensitive personal data, financial information, or location data.
Cookies & Analytics
We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool. Plausible does not use cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track users across websites. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymous. As a result, our website does not set any cookies for analytics purposes and does not require a cookie consent banner.
The only cookie this site sets is a session cookie issued when an administrator signs in to the internal dashboard. It is strictly necessary to keep that session authenticated, is not used for tracking or advertising, and is deleted on sign-out.
Third-Party Services
Email and newsletter delivery run on our own infrastructure — mailstack-os for transactional email and newsletter-os for subscriptions — so your address stays within BlueForge systems and is not passed to an external provider. One third-party service receives data from this website:
- Plausible Analytics — for privacy-friendly, cookie-free website analytics. No personal data is collected. This is the only third party that receives any data from this website.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third parties.
How We Use Your Data
- To respond to your inquiries and contact form submissions
- To send you product updates and newsletters you opted into
- To manage our waiting list and notify you of early access opportunities
- To improve our website and services based on aggregated, anonymous analytics
Data Retention
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 12 months. Newsletter subscriptions remain active until you unsubscribe. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
Your Rights
You have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to deletion — request that we delete your personal data from our systems.
- Right to portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate personal data.
- Right to withdraw consent — unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time via the link in any email.
