Privacy & Data Handling
Last updated: June 2026
How ForgePilot handles your files
Your files are never stored. Here is exactly what happens when you upload a file or drawing to ForgePilot:
- 1Upload — The file is received into server memory as a raw byte stream. It is never written to disk.
- 2Process — The file is parsed in memory. Text is extracted from PDFs; geometry data is extracted from STL and CAD files. This produces a text or structured representation of your file.
- 3Send to AI — The extracted content is included in a request to OpenAI's GPT-4o API for analysis.
- 4Discarded — Once the response is returned, all file data is discarded. There is no database insert, no S3 upload, no file system write.
What is stored
The only data stored in our database (Supabase) is:
- —A usage counter (incremented by 1 per query)
- —Optional feedback you submit (thumbs up/down on a response) — this contains no file content
Your file content never touches our database.
OpenAI
File content is processed via OpenAI's API. OpenAI does not use API data to train its models. Standard API data retention applies — see OpenAI's privacy policy for details.
