Our Privacy Commitment
At JSON Tools, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. Our JSON formatter and validator is designed with privacy-first principles, ensuring your data remains completely private and secure.
Data Collection
We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal data or JSON content. All processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:
- Your JSON data never leaves your device
- No server-side processing of your content
- No databases storing your information
- No tracking of your JSON content or usage patterns
How Our Tool Works
Our JSON formatter operates entirely within your web browser:
- Client-Side Processing: All JSON parsing, formatting, and validation happens in your browser using JavaScript
- No Network Requests: Your JSON content is never sent to our servers or any third-party services
- Offline Capable: Once loaded, the tool works without an internet connection
- Memory Only: Data exists only in browser memory and is cleared when you close the tab
Cookies and Local Storage
This website does not use cookies or local storage to store personal information or JSON content. We may use minimal browser storage for:
- Remembering your formatting preferences (indentation, theme)
- Basic functionality like navigation state
No personal data or JSON content is ever stored locally on your device by our application.
Third-Party Services
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements. Google may use cookies for ad personalization based on your browsing history across websites. Important notes:
- Google does not have access to your JSON content
- Ad targeting is based on general browsing patterns, not your JSON data
- You can opt out of personalized ads in your Google Ad Settings
- Our tool functionality is completely independent of advertising
Analytics (if applicable)
We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand general usage patterns, such as:
- Number of visitors (aggregated, anonymous data only)
- Popular pages and features
- General geographic regions (country level only)
- Browser and device types (for compatibility)
No personal identifiers, JSON content, or detailed user behavior is tracked.
Data Security
Since no data is transmitted to our servers, your JSON content remains completely private and secure on your device. Security measures include:
- HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website use secure HTTPS
- No Server Storage: We have no servers storing user data
- No Data Logs: We don't log or monitor JSON content
- Open Source: Our code is transparent and auditable
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data, there's no personal information to:
- Request access to
- Correct or update
- Delete or remove
- Port to another service
Your JSON content remains entirely under your control at all times.
Children's Privacy
Our service does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect any personal data, our service is safe for users of all ages.
International Users
Our privacy-first approach applies globally. Regardless of your location:
- Your data stays on your device
- We comply with privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and others
- No cross-border data transfers occur
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Since we don't collect contact information, we cannot notify users directly of changes.
Transparency Report
We believe in complete transparency about our privacy practices:
- Zero data breaches: No user data has ever been compromised because we don't store it
- Zero government requests: We've never received requests for user data because we don't have any
- Zero third-party sharing: We don't share data because we don't collect it
