This Privacy Policy describes how dev-tool-x collects, uses, and protects information when you use this website. The short version: all tool processing happens in your browser, and we never receive or store the data you work with.
Last updated: June 2025
1. What we do not collect
dev-tool-x does not operate a backend server for tool processing. Every formatter, converter, encoder, decoder, and utility runs entirely inside your browser tab using JavaScript. This means:
- Text, code, or data you paste into any tool is never transmitted to our servers.
- Files you upload (JSON, XML, YAML, etc.) are read locally by your browser and are not sent anywhere.
- We do not log your tool inputs, outputs, or any in-page activity.
- We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use any tool.
2. Information that is collected automatically
Like most websites, dev-tool-x may collect certain non-personally-identifiable information automatically when you visit:
Server logs
Our hosting provider may log standard web server information such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used solely for security and infrastructure purposes and is not linked to any personal identity.
Cookies and local storage
dev-tool-x stores your theme preference (light or dark mode) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device. No tracking cookies are set by the site itself.
3. Advertising (Google AdSense)
This site displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.
Specifically:
- Google may use the DoubleClick cookie and similar technologies to show you relevant ads.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies by visiting aboutads.info.
For full details on how Google uses data when you use their advertising services, see How Google uses data from sites that use Google services.
4. Analytics
dev-tool-x may use privacy-focused analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns (page views, popular tools, referral sources). No personally identifiable information is collected in analytics. Individual user sessions are not tracked across sessions.
5. Third-party links
Some pages on this site may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and encourage you to review their privacy policies independently.
6. Children's privacy
dev-tool-x is not directed at children under the age of 13 and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date at the top. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
