Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Commitment

At JSON-parser.net, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. Our tool is designed with a "privacy-first" architecture, meaning your data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. This document explains our practices in detail.

Data We Do NOT Collect

JSON-parser.net does not collect, store, transmit, or process any of the following:

• Your JSON/YAML data: All parsing, formatting, validation, and conversion happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript and Web Workers. Your data never leaves your device.
• Personal information: We do not require registration, login, or any personal details to use our tools.
• Usage history: We do not store your input/output history on any server. Any history features use your browser's local storage only.
• Files you upload: Files are processed client-side and immediately discarded after use.

Data We May Collect

We use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our tool is used and to improve it:

• Anonymized usage statistics: Page views, button clicks, and feature usage (without any personal identifiers).
• Technical information: Browser type, screen size, and operating system for compatibility improvements.
• Error reports: Anonymous error logs to help us fix bugs (no personal data included).

You can block all analytics by using a browser extension like uBlock Origin or by disabling JavaScript for third-party domains. The core functionality of JSON-parser.net will continue to work.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics. Google's Privacy Policy
• Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. How Google uses advertising cookies
• Cloudflare: For content delivery and DDoS protection. Cloudflare's Privacy Policy
• Formspree: For processing feedback form submissions. Formspree's Privacy Policy

Cookies

JSON-parser.net uses the following types of cookies:

• Essential cookies: For theme preferences and local settings (stored in localStorage, not transmitted to servers).
• Analytics cookies: From Google Analytics to understand usage patterns.
• Advertising cookies: From Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to block third-party cookies while allowing first-party functionality.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save your preferences (like theme choice and editor settings). This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser's developer tools or settings.

Children's Privacy

JSON-parser.net is a general-purpose developer tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights

Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regulations, you have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you (we hold none)
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt-out of analytics tracking
• Request information about how your data is used

Since we don't collect personal data, most of these rights are already satisfied by design.

Security

We implement security best practices including:

• HTTPS encryption for all traffic
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
• Regular security updates and dependency audits
• No server-side data storage of user content

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
