Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 8, 2026

Developer312 (NIGHT LITE USA LLC) operates lean-forge.net (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data.

What we collect

  • Essential cookies — a cookie-consent flag stored in localStorage and as a first-party cookie. It records your Accept/Decline choice. No personal data.
  • Analytics, only if you Accept — Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4 then receive page views and technical data, including your IP address, and set the analytics cookies described in the cookie policy. Decline does not load them.
  • Fonts — the site loads Inter and JetBrains Mono from Google Fonts. Your browser sends your IP address to Google to fetch the files, whether or not you accept analytics cookies.
  • Payments — if you start a paid plan, Stripe collects the payment details. We store the plan and the Stripe customer id. We do not store your card number.
  • Server logs — IP address, user agent, request path, response code, and timing. Used for security, abuse detection, and aggregate performance analysis. Retained for 30 days.
  • API requests — your IP, the endpoint hit, and response code. Used for rate limiting and abuse detection. Not linked to your identity unless you sign in.

What we do not collect

  • No advertising trackers. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager load only after you click Accept.
  • No browsing history sold by us, and no fingerprinting. Page views go to Google Analytics only after you click Accept.
  • No account unless you sign in. If you subscribe, Stripe collects the payment details described above.

Your rights (GDPR / CCPA)

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or export any personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We respond within 30 days.

Data retention

  • Server logs: 30 days.
  • API rate-limit counters: 15 minutes sliding window.
  • Account data (if you sign in): until you delete your account.

These services also process data when you use the site:
