How your files are handled

AltForge is a static web application — a set of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files delivered to your browser. When you add images or import a CSV:

• Files are read locally using standard browser APIs (FileReader and object URLs). They stay in your device's memory for the duration of the page session.
• All parsing, alt-text drafting, slug generation, and duplicate checking happens in the page, on your machine.
• No image or spreadsheet content is transmitted to any server — not ours, and not a third party.
• Exports (CSV, rename manifest) are generated in your browser using Blob downloads and saved directly to your device.
• When you close or reload the tab, the in-memory data is discarded. Nothing persists unless you explicitly export it.

What we collect

Nothing. There is no sign-up, no login, no contact form that sends data, and no email capture wired to any server. The "Pro (planned)" tier shown on the home page is a roadmap preview only — it does not collect payment, email, or personal information today.

Analytics & tracking

AltForge includes no analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts (no Google Analytics, no pixels, no fingerprinting). Assets such as styles and scripts are served from the same site rather than third-party CDNs, so simply using the tool does not broadcast your activity to external services.

Cookies & local storage

The tool does not set tracking cookies. Any use of your browser's local storage, if present, is limited to your own convenience settings and never contains your image or catalog content.

Hosting logs

Like any website, the server that delivers these static files may keep standard technical request logs (for example, the fact that a page was requested, with an IP address and timestamp) for security and reliability. These logs are a property of ordinary web hosting and never include the contents of the images or CSVs you process, because that content is never sent to the server.

Your responsibilities

Because everything happens on your device, you remain in control of — and responsible for — the images and data you process. Please ensure you are authorized to handle that content. See our disclaimers.

Changes

If this notice changes, the "last updated" date above will change with it. Material changes to how the tool handles data will be reflected here.
