Transparency First

Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 24, 2023

At SimpleDevTools.tech, we believe that developer utilities should not come at the cost of data privacy. Our philosophy is simple: what happens in your browser stays in your browser.

This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we do not collect, how our client-side architecture protects your data, and how we manage third-party services like Google AdSense to keep this site free.

1. Information We Collect

We are proud to state that we do not collect, store, or process any personal information (PII) from our users.

  • No Accounts: You do not need to register or log in to use our tools.
  • No Form Data: The code, JSON, text, or images you paste into our tools are processed locally. We never see it.
  • No Server Logs: Since we do not process your input data on our servers, there are no logs containing your sensitive work.

2. How Our Tools Work

Client-Side Execution

All calculations, formatting, and conversions happen within your browser's JavaScript engine (e.g., V8). When you click "Format JSON" or "Generate UUID," the data never travels over the network to a backend server.

This architecture ensures that even if you accidentally paste an API key or a database connection string, it remains strictly on your local machine.

3. Cookies & Third-Party Services

While our core tools do not use cookies, we use third-party services to maintain the website and keep it free for everyone.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to SimpleDevTools.tech and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

4. Analytics

We may use privacy-preserving analytics tools to understand aggregate usage patterns (e.g., "Which tool is most popular?"). These tools do not track individual user behavior, do not use fingerprinting, and do not store personal data.

5. Data Security

Security is inherent to our design. By eliminating the transfer of data to a server, we eliminate the risk of data interception in transit (Man-in-the-Middle attacks) or data breaches on a backend database. We serve this website over HTTPS to ensure the integrity of the code delivered to your browser.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
