Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

DevFormatters ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and online developer tools. Your tool input — code, text, files, or any data you process — never leaves your browser. All processing is done client-side. This policy covers website-level analytics and cookies only.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We do not require users to create accounts or provide personal information to use our tools. However, if you contact us, we may collect:

• Your name
• Email address
• Message content

2.2 Information Automatically Collected

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect the following for analytics and advertising purposes (only with your consent via the cookie banner):

• Log Data — IP address (anonymized), browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages
• Device Information — Device type, operating system, screen resolution
• Cookies — See our Cookie Policy section below

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain our services
• Analyze website usage and improve our tools
• Detect and prevent technical issues
• Serve relevant advertisements (via Google AdSense)
• Respond to your inquiries

Important: This data is collected at the website level only — for page visits and ad impressions. None of the data you enter into any tool (code, text, files, configuration) is ever collected, logged, or transmitted. All tool processing happens entirely in your browser.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Types of cookies we use:

• Essential Cookies — Required for the website to function properly
• Analytics Cookies — Help us understand how visitors interact with our website
• Advertising Cookies — Used by Google AdSense to serve personalized ads

You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling cookies may affect your experience on our website.

Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can choose:

• Accept All — Allows analytics and advertising cookies to be set on your device.
• Reject All — Only essential cookies (required for the website to function) will be set. Analytics and advertising cookies will not be loaded.

Your consent choice is stored in your browser's local storage. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site and refreshing the page, which will display the consent banner again.

If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, certain features such as personalized advertisements and usage analytics will be disabled. The core developer tools on this website will continue to function fully regardless of your cookie preference.

5. Third-Party Advertising

We display third-party advertisements on our website. These advertisements are served by third-party ad networks that may collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

6. Google AdSense — Cookie and Data Collection Disclosure

We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google LLC, to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense uses:

• Cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites
• The DoubleClick cookie to enable interest-based advertising based on your browsing history
• Web beacons and similar technologies to collect information about your interactions with ads

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and other sites on the Internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or About Ads.

We do not have access to or control over the cookies that third-party advertisers use. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by DevFormatters only and does not cover the use of cookies by any third-party advertiser.

Google AdSense may collect the following data via cookies, device identifiers, and SDKs: cookie IDs, ad impression and click data, device type and identifiers (including advertising identifiers such as AAID and IDFA), IP address, browsing behavior across participating sites, and non-personally identifiable interest and demographic data. This information is used by Google to deliver relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Data Retention Policy

We retain collected information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy:

• Analytics data (anonymized) — retained for up to 26 months via Google Analytics before automatic deletion.
• Advertising cookies — stored for up to 13 months per Google's advertising cookie policy.
• Essential cookies / consent preference — stored in local storage until you clear it or it expires after 12 months.
• Contact form communications — retained for up to 12 months after the last correspondence, unless a longer retention is required by law.

When data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized. Note that data you process inside our tools is never transmitted to our servers and therefore is not subject to our retention policy — it exists only in your browser and is under your control.

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion of your information
• Object to the processing of your information

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe your data protection rights have been violated.

11. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our services are not intended for children under 13 years of age. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

In compliance with COPPA, if we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take prompt steps to delete that information from our records. We do not condition participation in any of our online activities on the disclosure of more personal information than is reasonably necessary.

Parental Rights: Parents or legal guardians have the right to review, delete, or refuse further collection of their child's personal information. To exercise these rights, please contact us at the email address below with "COPPA Inquiry" in the subject line.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
