Last Updated: 07-Jul-2026
This Privacy Policy explains how The Forge by Poko Consulting (we, us, or our) collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our Chrome Extension and associated SaaS platform (collectively, the Service).
1. Information We Collect (Authentication Data)
To provide secure access to the Service, we require users to authenticate their identity. When you log in via Single Sign-On (SSO) or traditional email and password, we collect only the minimum Personally Identifiable Information (PII) required to establish and maintain a secure session. This is limited to:
•
Email Address & Name: Collected exclusively during the SSO or email/password login flow to verify your identity, provision your internal workspace, and manage your account access.
•
Authentication Tokens: Temporary session data used strictly to keep you securely logged in while using the extension.
2. How We Use Your Information (Strictly for Login)
The authentication data collected (email, name, and passwords/tokens) is used solely for login purposes, security verification, and account management. We do not use your login data or SSO profile for analytics, tracking, marketing, or any other secondary purpose.
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We are committed to your privacy and maintain strict boundaries regarding your data:
•
No Selling Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties, data brokers, or information resellers.
•
No Advertising: We do not use or transfer your data for personalized or retargeted advertising.
•
No Credit Checks: We do not transfer or use your data to determine credit-worthiness or for lending purposes.
We will only transfer your data to third parties if it is strictly necessary to provide our core service (e.g., secure cloud hosting), to comply with applicable laws, or to protect against fraud and security threats.
4. Chrome Web Store Limited Use Disclosure
The use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies, including the Limited Use requirements.
Specifically, regarding your data:
•
We limit our use of user data to providing or improving the single, disclosed purpose of our extension.
•
We do not allow humans to read your data unless we have your explicit, affirmative consent for specific cases, it is necessary for security purposes (such as investigating abuse), or it is required to comply with applicable laws.
5. Data Security and Retention
We handle your data securely, transmitting it via modern cryptography (such as HTTPS). We retain your name and email only for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Service. If you choose to delete your account, your personal data will be permanently removed from our systems.
