Privacy Policy
ScreenForge is built privacy-first. The screenshots, images, videos, and 3D models you work with never leave your browser. This page explains exactly what we do and do not collect.
Your creative work stays on your device. All editing, rendering, and exporting happens locally in your browser, so we never receive, store, or even see your screenshots or designs.
The only personal data we hold is what you give us to sign in (your email) and, if you subscribe, your subscription status. We do not run advertising or third-party analytics trackers, and we never sell your data.
1. Who we are
ScreenForge ("ScreenForge", "we", "us") provides an in-browser studio for App Store screenshots, 3D device mockups, and app preview videos at getscreenforge.com. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ScreenForge is the data controller for the limited personal data described below. You can reach us at support@getscreenforge.com.
2. What we collect (and what we don't)
Your designs never leave your browser
ScreenForge is a client-side application. When you add a screenshot, drop in a video, import a 3D model, or export a finished image, all of that work happens on your own device using your browser's graphics engine. Your media is never uploaded to us and never passes through our servers. We have no copy of your projects and no way to view them.
What we do collect
- Account email
- If you choose to sign in, you give us your email address. We use it to send you a one-time sign-in link and to associate your account with your subscription. You can use the studio's free features without an account.
- Subscription details
- If you upgrade to Pro, our payment provider (Stripe) processes the payment. We never see or store your card number. We keep a record linking your email to your Stripe customer ID, plan, status, and renewal date so we can unlock Pro features.
- Server logs
- Like any website, our host records standard request logs (for example IP address, browser type, and timestamps) to keep the service secure and running. These are not used to profile you or track you across other sites.
What we do not collect
- We do not collect or store your screenshots, images, videos, fonts, or imported 3D models.
- We do not use advertising trackers or third-party analytics that follow you around the web.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to anyone.
3. How we use it
We use the limited data above only to:
- Sign you in and keep you signed in (your email and the session cookie).
- Provide and manage your Pro subscription (billing details via Stripe).
- Keep the service secure and prevent abuse (server logs).
- Reply to you when you contact support.
Our legal bases under the GDPR are: performance of our contract with you (to provide the studio and your subscription), and our legitimate interest in operating, securing, and improving the service.
4. Who we share it with
We rely on a small number of trusted service providers ("sub-processors") who handle data strictly on our behalf:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, content delivery, database, logs | Request logs, account & subscription records |
| Stripe | Subscription payments | Email, payment details, subscription status |
| Resend | Sending sign-in emails | Email address |
Each provider has its own privacy and security commitments. See Cloudflare, Stripe, and Resend. Some of these providers operate internationally, including in the United States, under appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
5. Cookies & local storage
ScreenForge uses one essential cookie and a handful of browser local-storage entries. We do not use any advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
sf_session | Essential cookie | Keeps you signed in after you use a sign-in link. Secure and HttpOnly. | 30 days |
ms3d-theme | Local storage | Remembers your light / dark preference. | Until you clear it |
ms3d-autosave-v1 | Local storage | Autosaves your work-in-progress scene so you don't lose it. | Until you clear it |
sf-pro, sf-premium, sf-reflect | Local storage | Remember studio settings and entitlement state. | Until you clear it |
sf-cookie-ok | Local storage | Remembers that you dismissed the cookie notice. | Until you clear it |
Local-storage entries live only in your browser and are never sent to us. You can clear them at any time from your browser settings, and you can sign out to remove the session cookie.
6. Your rights
Because we hold so little about you, most requests are simple. Subject to applicable law, including the GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct it if it is inaccurate.
- Delete your account and associated data.
- Receive a copy of your data, or ask us to restrict or object to processing.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these, email support@getscreenforge.com from the address on your account.
7. Retention & security
We keep your account and subscription records for as long as your account is active, and afterwards only as long as needed for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes. Server logs are kept for a short period for security and operations. Sign-in links expire after 20 minutes, and your session expires after 30 days. We protect data in transit with TLS and limit access to the people who need it.
8. Changes & contact
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and, for significant changes, do our best to let signed-in users know. Questions, requests, or concerns? Email support@getscreenforge.com.
