Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 26, 2026

The short version

If you only read one section, that’s it. The rest of this document spells out the details.

Who we are

Steadfast Software LLC is a Florida limited liability company (filed April 2026), principal address 20331 NW 2nd St, Pembroke Pines, FL 33029. It is solely owned and operated by Steadfast Software LLC. We sell two Windows software products: CastForge and Indestructible Update Engine.

What we collect

On the website (steadfastsoftwarellc.com)

The marketing site is static. We do not run server-side analytics, we do not embed third-party trackers, and we do not set cookies. The only personal information we ever receive from the website is what you voluntarily submit through the contact form:

Contact-form submissions are delivered to us via Cloudflare Email Routing, which forwards the message to our internal mailbox. We do not use a third-party customer-support processor (no Zendesk, Intercom, HubSpot, etc.). The message lives only in our email inbox.

In the products

Neither CastForge nor Indestructible Update Engine collects analytics, usage telemetry, crash reports, or behavioral data. Both products communicate with the public internet only for the specific operational reasons listed below:

That’s the complete list. There is no opt-in/opt-out telemetry toggle because there is no telemetry.

License and activation data (CastForge)

When CastForge activates a license, it transmits two pieces of information to our Cloudflare Worker:

  1. The license key you purchased.
  2. A machine fingerprint — a hash derived from stable hardware identifiers, used only to bind a license to a device count.

We store this data encrypted at rest. It is used solely to verify that a license is being used legitimately. We never share, sell, or rent license or fingerprint data.

Google / YouTube account data (CastForge)

If you connect a YouTube (Google) account to CastForge, you authorize it — through Google’s standard OAuth consent screen — to act on your behalf on YouTube. CastForge requests two YouTube permissions (scopes):

How this data is used: solely on your own device, to display your live chat and to carry out the chat actions you take inside CastForge. CastForge does not use YouTube data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to operating your stream.

Storage: the OAuth access and refresh tokens Google issues are stored locally on your computer, encrypted at rest. Your YouTube data and tokens are not transmitted to, or stored on, Steadfast Software servers.

Sharing: we do not sell, rent, or share your Google/YouTube data with anyone.

Limited Use: CastForge’s use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Revoking access: you can disconnect CastForge at any time from within the app, or at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

Cookies

The marketing site does not use cookies. There is no login, no shopping cart, and no analytics provider, so there is nothing to set a cookie for.

Children’s privacy

Our products and website are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information through our contact form, email us at [email protected] and we will delete it.

Your rights (California, EU/UK, and elsewhere)

Regardless of where you live, you can ask us to:

If you are a California resident, the CCPA/CPRA gives you these rights explicitly, plus the right to know what categories of personal information we collect and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising them. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If you are in the EU, UK, or EEA, the GDPR/UK GDPR gives you the same rights, plus the right to object to processing and the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. Our lawful basis for processing license data is contract performance; for contact-form messages it is legitimate interest in answering your question.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] from the address associated with your account or message. We aim to respond within 30 days.
