Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2024
Our Commitment to Privacy
JSONFormatter.it is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe that your data belongs to you, and we've built our tool to ensure your JSON data never leaves your device.
Data Processing
All Processing is Local
All JSON formatting, validation, and conversion operations happen entirely in your browser. Your data is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party services. This means:
- Your JSON data stays on your device
- No data is stored on our servers
- No data is shared with third parties
- The tool works completely offline once loaded
Local Storage
We use your browser's local storage to save:
- History: Your last 10 formatted JSON entries (stored locally only)
- Preferences: Your selected theme (dark/light mode)
- Settings: Your tool preferences (indent size, etc.)
This data is stored only in your browser and is never transmitted anywhere. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using the "Clear History" button in the tool.
No Tracking or Analytics
We do not use any tracking technologies on this website:
- No Google Analytics or similar tracking services
- No advertising networks or tracking pixels
- No user behavior tracking
- No fingerprinting techniques
- No cookies for tracking purposes
Third-Party Services
Our website does not integrate with any third-party services that could access your data. The only external resources are:
- Hosting: The website is hosted on Vercel, which may collect standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, access times) for security and performance purposes. This is standard for all websites and does not include any of your JSON data.
Cookies
We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising. The only data stored in your browser is through local storage for your preferences and history, which is not accessible to us or any third parties.
Data Security
Since all processing happens in your browser and we don't receive any of your data, there's no data to secure on our end. Your data security depends on:
- Your browser's security
- Your device's security
- Your network security (though HTTPS ensures secure transmission of the website itself)
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at children under the age of 13. Since we don't collect any personal information, there is no risk of collecting data from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect or store any personal data, traditional data subject rights (access, correction, deletion) don't apply. However, you have full control over:
- Clearing your local storage data at any time
- Using the tool without any account or registration
- Using the tool offline after initial page load
