Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2026
At JSON Formatter ("we," "us," or "our"), your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website located at https://www.json-formatter.example/ (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Important: The JSON Formatter is a fully client-side tool. All JSON formatting, validation, and processing happens locally in your browser. We do NOT upload, transmit, or store your JSON data on any server. Your data never leaves your device.
Information We Collect
Because the JSON Formatter runs entirely in your browser, we do not collect, process, or store the JSON data you format. However, we may collect the following limited information:
- Information you provide voluntarily: If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you submit so that we can respond to your inquiry.
- Automatically collected information: We may collect non-personal, aggregated technical information such as browser type, device type, approximate geographic region, and pages visited. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the Service is used and to improve it.
We do not ask for or collect sensitive personal data such as financial information, government identifiers, or health information.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies: Required for the basic operation of the Service, such as remembering your cookie consent preference.
- Preference storage: The tool may store your formatting preferences (such as indentation size) locally in your browser so that your settings are preserved between visits. This information never leaves your device.
- Advertising cookies: Used by third-party advertising partners, as described below.
