Overview
Dev Tools is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our free online developer utilities at dev-tools.online.
The short version: We don't collect, store, or share your personal data. All processing happens in your browser or temporarily on our servers without any data retention.

How Our Tools Work
When you use our tools (JSON formatter, CSV converter, Base64 encoder, etc.):
- Your input is processed temporarily to generate the output
- Data is transmitted securely over HTTPS
- No data is logged or stored on our servers
- Processing results are returned immediately and then discarded
Local Storage
We use your browser's local storage only to remember your theme preference (dark/light mode). This data never leaves your device and can be cleared by clearing your browser data.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Cloudflare Analytics) to understand general usage patterns. These services may collect:
- Pages visited
- General geographic region (country level)
- Device type and browser
- Referral source
This data is aggregated and anonymized. It helps us understand which tools are most useful and how to improve the service.

- Cloudflare - For CDN and security (see Cloudflare's Privacy Policy)
- Google Analytics - For usage analytics (see Google's Privacy Policy)
