Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026

At JSON Formatter & Validator, your privacy comes first. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

  • JSON Data: Anything you paste into the formatter is processed entirely in your browser. We never send or store your JSON on our servers.
  • Cookies: We use minimal first-party cookies only to remember your theme preference (light/dark) and the state of the Buy-Me-a-Coffee widget.
  • Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party tracking scripts. Basic server logs (IP, user-agent, timestamp) are kept for security and debugging purposes and are purged automatically after 30 days.

2. How We Use Information

  • To display the correct colour theme (light/dark).
  • To ensure the site functions as intended (form submissions, navigation).
  • To detect and prevent malicious activity.

3. Third-Party Services

  • Buy Me a Coffee: If you choose to support us, you will be redirected to buymeacoffee.com, which has its own privacy policy.

4. Your Choices

  • You can disable cookies in your browser, but the theme switcher will no longer remember your preference.
  • You can clear cookies at any time via your browser settings.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
