Privacy Policy

At DevToolbox, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your information when you use our online tools.

1. No Personal Data Collection

Our website operates entirely in your browser (client-side). We do not collect, store, or process any personal data on our servers.

All tools (JSON formatter, JWT decoder, Regex tester, Base64 encoder, timestamp converter, URL encoder/decoder) perform their calculations locally. Your text, tokens, and files never leave your computer.

2. Locally Stored Data (LocalStorage)

To enhance your experience, we use your browser's local storage (localStorage) to save your preferences:

• Selected theme (light or dark)
• Preferred language (English or French)

This information is never transmitted to a server and remains strictly on your device. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser data.

3. Cookies

Currently, our site does not use any cookies. We do not use tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.

Future evolution: If we decide to display advertisements (e.g., via Google AdSense), our site will then use advertising cookies. These cookies allow ad partners to serve personalized ads based on your browsing. You will be informed of this change via a consent banner, and this policy will be updated accordingly.

4. Advertising and Third-Party Services (Upcoming)

To help fund hosting and development, we may display advertisements in the future. In that case:

• We will use Google AdSense or a similar service.
• These services may use cookies to personalize ads.
• A consent banner will allow you to accept or decline these cookies.
• You can customize your ad preferences at any time via your browser settings or the Google Ad Settings page.

For now, no advertisements are displayed and no third-party cookies are set.

5. Hosting and Technical Logs

Our site is hosted on Vercel and the domain is managed by Cloudflare. These providers may keep anonymous technical logs (IP addresses, browser type) for security and performance purposes, as is standard on the Internet. These logs are not used to personally identify you and are not shared with us for analytics.

6. External Links

Our site may contain links to external resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

7. Security

Since no data is collected, the risk is minimal. We use HTTPS to secure communication between your browser and our site. All processing happens in memory and is cleared when you close the page.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The last updated date will be indicated at the bottom of the page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
