Privacy policy
ForgeYields (“we”, “our”, “the Protocol”) is a non-custodial, smart-contract-based yield platform. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.
ForgeYields is designed with data minimization in mind. We collect as little data as reasonably necessary to operate the website, improve the Protocol, and maintain security.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
ForgeYields does not collect or store:
Private keys or seed phrases
Custodial access to funds
Personal identity data (name, address, ID documents, phone number, etc.)
Bank or payment information
KYC/AML data (any KYC is handled solely by third-party on-ramp partners)
You always remain in control of your crypto wallet.
2. Information We May Collect
We may collect the following non-personal or limited data:
a. On-chain Data
When interacting with the Protocol, blockchain data becomes publicly accessible by design:
Wallet addresses
Transaction hashes
Balance and contract interaction data
ForgeYields does not store this data off-chain; it exists on the public blockchain.
b. Website Analytics
To improve the interface and user experience, we may use privacy-friendly analytics (e.g. Plausible, or a similar tool). These tools may collect:
Page views and navigation
Device type and browser
Country-level geolocation (not precise location)
Referring sources
No cookies that track personal behavior or identity are used unless explicitly required.
c. Information You Voluntarily Provide
If you contact us (email, Discord, support forms), we may store:
Email address or username
Message content
Optional screenshots or logs you choose to send
This information is used solely to assist you.
d. Technical Logs
For security and debugging, servers may briefly log:
IP addresses (short retention)
Error logs
Request metadata
This is standard practice for infrastructure stability.
3. How We Use the Information
Information collected may be used to:
Operate and secure the website
Improve UI/UX and product performance
Monitor usage trends (aggregated, anonymous)
Provide user support
Prevent abuse or malicious activity
Diagnose technical issues
We do not sell, rent, or trade data with third parties for marketing.
4. Third-Party Services
ForgeYields may rely on:
Hosting services (Hetzner, AWS, DigitalOcean)
Analytics providers (e.g. Plausible)
Communication platforms (Discord)
These providers process limited data as part of their operations and follow their own privacy policies.
5. Cookies
ForgeYields may use either:
Cookie-less analytics, or
Minimal, non-tracking cookies strictly required for functionality.
We do not use advertising cookies or behavioral tracking cookies.
6. Data Security
We follow strong security practices:
Data minimization
Limited log retention
Encrypted communication
No collection of sensitive personal data
No custody over user wallets or assets
Still, no system is perfectly secure, and you acknowledge these risks when interacting with the Protocol.
7. User Rights
You may request:
Deletion of voluntarily provided contact information
Information about what data we hold (generally minimal)
Contact: [insert email or Discord link]
8. Third-Party Websites & Integrations
ForgeYields may link to or integrate with external platforms (on-ramps, wallets, block explorers, DeFi protocols). These parties have their own privacy policies, and ForgeYields is not responsible for their practices.
