Privacy policy

The short version

Every tool on this site runs entirely inside your browser. The JSON you paste, upload or type is processed on your device and is never transmitted to us or anyone else. There is no server that receives it, no database that stores it, and no log that records it.

What this means in practice

• Formatting, validation, repair, minification and conversion happen in JavaScript running in the page you have open. You can confirm this: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and paste a document — no request is made carrying your data.
• Files you open are read locally by the page and never uploaded.
• Share links encode your JSON into the URL itself, compressed. The part after # is never sent to a server — it stays in the browser of whoever opens the link.
• Your settings (indentation, theme) are stored in your browser's localStorage on your device, and nowhere else.
• "Load from URL" fetches the address you give directly from that address's own server, into your browser. We never see the URL or the response.

What we collect anyway

Standard web-server logs at our hosting provider (Cloudflare or similar) may record requests for pages and assets — IP address, time, user agent — as part of serving the site. Those logs describe which pages were loaded, never what you did inside them.

We run Google Analytics (gtag.js) to count page views in aggregate. It sees which pages are visited and roughly from where — the same information the hosting logs above already describe. It does not see, and cannot see, anything you paste into a tool: your documents never leave the browser, so there is nothing for it to collect. Share links are the one place data could hide in a URL — the part after # holds your JSON — so it is stripped before analytics runs; the measurement sees the page, never the fragment.

We do not run advertising scripts, social pixels, or any third-party script that reads page content. If that ever changes, it will be listed here before it goes live.
