Security Policy

Protecting Your Web3 Gaming Ecosystem

This Security Policy outlines the comprehensive measures taken by IdleForged to protect user data, blockchain interactions, smart contract integrity, and hosted infrastructure across all our game modules and Web3 platform services.

🔐 Data & User Security

Data Protection

We take reasonable steps to protect the limited user data we collect:

  • We do not store private keys or seed phrases
  • Wallet addresses are stored only as non-sensitive identifiers
  • Game data linked to wallet addresses is stored securely in our database
  • No sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) is required to use the platform

Backend Protection

Our backend services are protected by:

  • Access-controlled environments (SSH key-based deployment)
  • Secure HTTPS encryption for all web traffic
  • Rate-limiting and input sanitization to reduce abuse vectors
  • Automated security monitoring and intrusion detection

🔗 Smart Contract Security

Blockchain Interactions

Smart contract interactions are handled via secure, industry-standard protocols:

🔐 Secure Connections

Using ethers.js or Web3 libraries with encrypted communication channels

✅ On-Chain Verification

NFT/token ownership verification without storing sensitive information

🛡️ Audited Contracts

OpenZeppelin audited base contracts (where applicable)

💡 Custom Contracts: For projects involving custom smart contracts, we recommend external audits. If IdleForged builds a custom contract, we will provide full source code, highlight test coverage, and recommend audit options if handling user funds.

💳 Payment Security

Accepted Payment Methods

We accept payments via:

  • Cryptocurrency (ETH, USDC, etc.) to published wallet addresses
  • Bank transfers to verified IdleForged accounts (by request)
  • Verified payment processors for fiat transactions

⚠️ Important Security Notice

IdleForged never asks for:

  • Wallet private keys or seed phrases
  • Remote access to your computer
  • Recovery phrases or passwords
  • Personal banking credentials

Any user claiming to represent IdleForged and requesting such details is fraudulent.

☁️ Server & Infrastructure Security

Cloud Infrastructure Protection

Our hosted modules run on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure secured with:

  • Two-factor authentication (2FA) on all administrative access
  • Automated backups and recovery snapshots
  • Isolated environments for each white-label client
  • Regular patching of server-side software and dependencies
  • DDoS protection and traffic filtering
  • Continuous security monitoring and alerting
  • Encrypted data transmission and storage
  • Compliance with industry security standards

🚨 Incident Response

Security Incident Protocol

If we detect a security breach, service anomaly, or exploit, we will:

1. Immediate Response

Investigate immediately and take the module offline if necessary

2. Client Notification

Notify affected clients via email or Discord within 2 hours

3. Fix Deployment

Deploy a fix or rollback as soon as possible

4. Post-Incident

Conduct thorough analysis and implement preventive measures
