Overview

At JSON YAML Formatter, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our online JSON and YAML formatting tool available at jsonsformatter.com (the "Site"). By using our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Information We Do Not Collect

JSON YAML Formatter processes all data locally in your browser. When you paste JSON or YAML content into our formatting tool, that data is processed entirely on your device using client-side JavaScript. Your data is never transmitted to, stored on, or accessed by our servers in any way. We do not have access to the content you format, validate, or minify using our tool.

This means that sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, database credentials, and personal data contained within your JSON or YAML files remain entirely under your control and never leave your browser session.

Information We Collect

While we do not collect the content you process through our tool, we may collect certain general information to improve your experience and maintain our services:

• Cookies: We may use essential cookies to remember your preferences such as indentation settings (2-space vs. 4-space) and interface customizations.
• Analytics Data: We may collect anonymized, aggregated analytics about how users interact with our Site — including page views, browser types, operating systems, and geographic regions — to understand usage patterns and improve performance. This data is not personally identifiable.
• Contact Information: If you choose to contact us through our Contact Us page or via email, we will collect the information you provide (such as your name and email address) solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

How We Use Information

We use collected information exclusively for the following purposes:

• To provide, maintain, and improve the JSON YAML Formatter tool and website
• To respond to your questions, feedback, or support requests
• To analyze usage trends and optimize site performance
• To comply with legal obligations where required by law

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your privacy. Because all data processing occurs client-side in your browser, the risk of unauthorized access to your formatted content is minimized. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to secure the connection between your browser and our servers for any transmitted data.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party analytics services to understand how visitors interact with our Site. These services may collect information sent by your browser as part of standard web requests. We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes, and we do not allow third parties to use analytics data collected through our site for their own purposes.

Children's Privacy

JSON YAML Formatter is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
