🔒 1. Client-Side Architecture & Data Privacy
NoteForge is built with a privacy-first, client-side execution model. All standard document conversions (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, PDF, EPUB, RTF, CSV) are performed in-memory inside your browser via WebAssembly (@firecrawl/anydoc-wasm).
Your document files are never uploaded to any centralized storage or third-party servers. When you close or refresh your tab, all in-memory buffers are instantly purged from RAM.
🍪 2. Google AdSense & Cookies
We use Google AdSense and third-party advertising partners to display non-intrusive sponsor clips and rewarded ads that fund our free token tier.
- Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or other sites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to NoteForge and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
🛡️ 3. Anti-Abuse Spark Ledger
To maintain fair usage of AI polish and OCR features, NoteForge cryptographically seals an in-browser Spark token counter using Web Crypto (HMAC-SHA256). We do not collect personally identifiable information unless you explicitly choose to link a Google or GitHub account.
📋 1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using NoteForge, you agree to these Terms of Service. NoteForge is provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind.
⚡ 2. Permitted Use
You may use NoteForge to convert personal, academic, and business documents. Automated scraping, abusive denial-of-service attempts, or bypassing cryptographic token counters is strictly prohibited.
🤖 3. AI Services Disclaimer
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and LLM markdown cleanup features utilize advanced machine learning. While engineered for high accuracy, users should verify critical calculations, legal citations, and mathematical formulas before publication.
