Privacy Policy

Effective 22 October 2026

Droplet Forge is made by 4E Virtual Design. It is a web bench and Blender add-on for designing droplet shapes. Signing in is optional: it lets you save your shapes to your account and open them in Blender. We do not sell your data, show ads, or use tracking or analytics cookies.

What we collect when you sign in with Google

When you choose "Sign in with Google", Google shares your Google account ID, name, email address and profile picture with us. We ask for nothing else: no access to your Gmail, Drive, contacts or any other Google data. We use these only to identify your account and show who is signed in.

What stays on your device

Cookies

We set one essential cookie, df_session, only after you sign in. It keeps you signed in, is HttpOnly and Secure, and is removed when you sign out. Google's sign-in button may set its own cookies, governed by Google's policy. We use no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies.

Who processes the data

We share your data with no one else, except where the law requires it.

Google user data

Droplet Forge's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Deleting your data

Signed in, open the account menu and choose "Delete my account": your account, all your saved shapes and every linked Blender are deleted immediately. Single shapes can be deleted from My Shapes, and linked Blenders revoked from "Link Blender". You can also email 4edesigner@gmail.com and we will delete your account and data within 30 days. You can remove Droplet Forge's access to your Google account at any time at myaccount.google.com/connections.

Security

All traffic to the website is encrypted (HTTPS). Session and device tokens are stored only as SHA-256 hashes. Blender devices get their own revocable tokens; your Google password is never seen by us or by Blender.

Children

Droplet Forge is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and for significant changes show a notice in the app.
