Privacy Policy

The short version: what you type into a tool — a JWT, a password, a connection string — is processed entirely on your device and never transmitted anywhere. This page covers everything else: analytics, cookies, and advertising.

// data you paste into a tool

Every tool on this site — the JSON formatter, JWT decoder, password generator, hash generator, diff checker, and the rest — runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Whatever you type or paste into a tool is processed on your own device and is never sent to any server, ever.

The one exception is share-pad's optional 6-digit code mode, which is explicit about what it does: it temporarily stores your text on a server so it can be retrieved with a short code. That tool's own page explains this in detail before you use it. Its offline-link mode, and every other tool on the site, never touches a server at all.

// analytics

This site uses Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights to see which pages get visited and how fast they load. Both are designed to be cookieless: they don't use persistent identifiers or build a profile of individual visitors, and they don't collect the content of anything you type into a tool. What they do collect is aggregate, page-level data — which pages were viewed, and basic performance timing.

// cookies and local storage

This site does not currently set any cookies of its own. It does use your browser's localStorage — data saved on your own device, never transmitted to a server — for a few conveniences: remembering your dark/light mode preference, a short list of your recently-visited tools, and (on some tools) form field values you've entered, so they're still there if you come back. All of this stays on your device and can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

// advertising

This site may display ads served by third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense. Unlike this site's own tools, third-party ad providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings, or generally at aboutads.info. This section will be updated with the specific ad network(s) in use once ads are active on this site.

what's loaded from elsewhere, and why

Google FontsTypefaces are loaded directly from Google's font CDN (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com), which means Google can see the IP address of anyone loading a page here, per Google's own privacy policy.

VercelThis site is hosted on Vercel, which operates the servers that serve these pages and (for share-pad's code mode only) the temporary text store.

// changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site changes — most likely as advertising is introduced. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
