Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 25, 2026
1. Overview
Online Code Formatter ("we", "us", "the Site") provides free, browser-based developer tools for formatting, validating, converting, and comparing data (JSON, XML, YAML, SQL, and similar formats). This policy explains what data is, and is not, collected when you use the Site.
2. The content you paste or upload
All formatting, validation, conversion, and comparison happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Text you paste and files you upload into any tool on this Site are processed on your device and are not transmitted to, or stored on, our servers. We do not have access to the content of what you format, validate, or compare.
3. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we may use standard analytics and hosting infrastructure that automatically logs limited technical information, such as your approximate location (derived from IP address), browser type, device type, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used only in aggregate to understand usage and improve the Site, and is not linked to the content you process in the tools.
4. Cookies and local storage
The Site may use cookies or browser local storage to remember your preferences, such as your selected language or dark/light theme. These are used only to improve your experience and are not used to identify you personally.
5. Third-party services
We may use third-party analytics or advertising providers who may set their own cookies or collect technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal information.
6. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
