Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

1. Our Core Privacy Philosophy: Client-Side Processing

We believe that your personal data, code snippets, tokens, and files belong to you alone. The majority of our utilities (including JSON formatters, base64 decoders, image compressors, password generators, and calculators) execute 100% locally in your web browser via client-side JavaScript, WebAssembly, and standard HTML5 APIs.

Your sensitive text, images, and calculations never reach our backend servers.

2. Information We Collect Automatically

Like almost all modern websites, we may collect standard anonymous telemetry to monitor uptime, prevent malicious denial-of-service traffic, and understand aggregate traffic patterns:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system and device category
  • Referring website and exit pages
  • Date, time, and general geographic region (country/city level)

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

  • Third-Party Vendors: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites across the Internet.
  • Google Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its certified partners to serve personalized or contextual advertisements to our visitors based on their browsing activity.
