Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

1. What this policy covers

This policy explains what information Sparkforge ("we", "us") collects when you use our website and AI tools, how we use it, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

Account information. When you register we collect your email address, an optional display name, and a password. Passwords are stored only as salted bcrypt hashes — we never store or see your actual password.

Usage information. We record which tools you use and when, to power your dashboard (recent tools, usage counts), enforce fair daily limits, and understand which tools are popular.

Tool inputs. The text you enter into a tool is sent to our AI provider (OpenAI) to generate your result. We do not store your inputs or generated outputs on our servers after the response is returned.

3. How we use your information

We use your information to operate and secure the service: to authenticate you, generate AI results you request, enforce usage limits, prevent abuse, and improve the platform.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your inputs to train AI models.

4. Third-party processors

Tool inputs are processed by OpenAI to generate results, subject to OpenAI's API data-usage policies. We share only what is needed to produce your result — never your account credentials.

5. Cookies

We use a single essential session cookie to keep you logged in. It is HttpOnly and never accessible to scripts. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

6. Data retention & deletion

Your account data is retained while your account exists. You can delete your account at any time from Account Settings — this permanently removes your account, usage history, sessions and favorites.

7. Security

We follow industry practices: password hashing (bcrypt), hashed session tokens, HttpOnly secure cookies, rate limiting and server-side validation. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data proportionally to its sensitivity.

8. Changes & contact

We may update this policy as the service evolves; material changes will be reflected by the date above. Questions? Contact us via the contact page.
