Privacy Policy | JSON Tools

Introduction

At JSON Tools, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services.

Data We Don't Collect

JSON Tools is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here's what we DON'T do:

We don't collect, store, or transmit the JSON data you validate or format
We don't require user registration or accounts
We don't track your personal information
We don't sell or share your data with third parties
We don't use tracking cookies beyond essential functionality

How Our Tools Work

All JSON validation and formatting happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your JSON data never leaves your device and is never sent to our servers or any third-party servers. This ensures complete privacy and security for your data.
