1. Who we are

Forethought Studio is a software development business. For privacy questions about this website, contact us at .

2. What data we process when you visit this website

• Server logs: Like most websites, our servers process technical data such as your IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamps. We use this for security, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
• Email communications: If you contact us by email, we will process the information you provide (such as your email address and message contents) to respond and provide support.
• Website analytics: We use Umami, a cookie-free analytics tool that we self-host on our own infrastructure, to measure website traffic and basic usage patterns. It does not track you across websites. And because it uses no cookies, we don't have to interrupt you with one of those annoying cookie-consent pop-ups, which is exactly why we chose it.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

• ✓ Security cookies: strictly necessary cookies that our security providers (such as Cloudflare) may set for security and abuse prevention.
• ✗ Analytics cookies: our website analytics (Umami) is cookie-free.
• ✗ Advertising and tracking cookies: we do not serve ads or track you for targeting.

4. Sharing and service providers

We use service providers to run and secure this website. These providers may process technical data (such as IP addresses) to deliver the service:

• Cloudflare: CDN, DDoS protection, and security.
• Umami (self-hosted): Cookie-free website analytics on our own infrastructure.
• Hetzner: Hosting infrastructure for the website.

5. Retention

• Server logs: Access logs are rotated and retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.
• Email: We retain email communications for as long as needed to respond and for reasonable recordkeeping.

6. Your rights (GDPR and similar laws)

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, deletion, and objection. Because we do not run user accounts on this website, we may need additional information (such as approximate time of access and the pages visited) to locate relevant records. Contact us at .

7. Children’s privacy

This website is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through this website.

8. Updates to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted on this page.
