Privacy Policy

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

Unlike cloud-hosted AI utilities, RulesForge is engineered as a local developer tool. Specifically:

• No Prompt or Code Logging: Whatever you type into the project description, build commands, architecture guidelines, or role selection is processed strictly via in-memory JavaScript in your local browser runtime.
• No Account Required: Public users do not need an account, password, or credit card to access the generator.
• No Telemetry on Generated Output: We do not track or store the text of the files you export (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, etc.).

2. Local Storage and Client-Side State

To ensure a seamless user experience across browser sessions, RulesForge uses your browser's native localStorage API to persist your UI preferences and draft inputs on your own device:

• rf_active_preset: Remembers your selected assistant role and strictness level.
• rf_cookie_consent: Stores your cookie preference so you are not repeatedly prompted.

This data remains entirely on your machine and can be cleared at any time through your browser's "Clear Site Data" or "Clear Cookies" settings.

3. Third-Party Advertising and Google AdSense

To fund the free hosting, domain, and maintenance of RulesForge, we may display advertisements served by Google and other third-party vendors:

• Google AdSense & DoubleClick Cookie: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on RulesForge. Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve personalized or contextual ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Personalized Advertising: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Third-Party Opt-Out: Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) / AboutAds Consumer Choice Page or Your Online Choices (EU).
• For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partner sites, please review Google’s Advertising Privacy Policy.

4. Web Server Logs & Basic Analytics

When you access our website, standard web server logs may temporarily record basic technical diagnostic data, including:

• Your IP address (anonymized where required by applicable law)
• Browser type, language, and operating system
• Referring URL and requested page paths
• Date and timestamp of requests

This information is used strictly to ensure site security, protect against Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, and maintain server reliability.

5. European Union (GDPR) and California (CCPA/CPRA) Rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, you enjoy specific statutory rights regarding personal data:

• The right to access, rectify, or request deletion of personal information.
• The right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies and targeted advertising at any time.
• The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy choices.

Because RulesForge does not collect user accounts, names, or email addresses from public visitors, we hold no identifiable personal profiles to disclose or sell.

6. External Links

RulesForge may provide outbound links to official platform documentation (such as Anthropic, Cursor, OpenAI, and GitHub specifications). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party external websites.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may periodically update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or applicable legal requirements. The "Effective Date" at the top of this page indicates when the latest revisions took effect.
