Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how FormatKit ("we", "us", "this website") handles information when you visit and use our tools. We designed this website to collect as little data as possible.

1. Tool inputs are processed in your browser

All text you enter into our tools (JSON, XML, HTML, CSS, SQL, CSV, passwords, hashes, etc.) is processed locally by JavaScript running in your browser. Your input is never transmitted to, processed by, or stored on our servers. When you close the page, the data is gone unless you choose to copy it somewhere yourself.

2. Information we collect

We do not require accounts and do not collect names, email addresses or other personal data through the tools themselves. The limited information that may be processed includes:

  • Technical data from your browser: when you request a page, your browser and network automatically share standard information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you visit. Like most websites, this information may end up in server or CDN logs and may be used for security and traffic statistics.
  • Information you send us voluntarily: if you contact us by email or through the contact form, we receive the details you choose to provide and use them only to answer you.
  • Local storage: your cookie consent choice and interface preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage on your own device.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small number of essential cookies/local storage entries to remember your consent choice. With your consent, we also allow analytics and advertising partners to set cookies. You can accept or decline optional cookies in the banner shown on your first visit. Full details are described in our Cookie Policy.

4. Advertising

This website displays advertising to cover hosting costs. If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, personalised ads are only shown after you grant consent.

  • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info.
  • Where required by law, consent for personalised advertising is requested through our cookie banner before such cookies are set.

5. Analytics

If we enable an analytics service, it will only measure aggregate traffic (page views, referrers, approximate location by country, device type) and only with your consent where required. We do not build individual profiles of tool usage — tool inputs cannot be tracked because they never leave your device.

6. Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. Data is shared only with the service providers described above (advertising/analytics, only with consent where required) or when compelled by law.

7. Data retention

Tool inputs are never stored. Server/CDN logs, if any, are retained for a limited period for security purposes. Emails you send us are kept only as long as needed to handle your request.

8. Children's privacy

This website is intended for a general audience of developers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

9. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. the EU/EEA under GDPR, or certain US states under CCPA/CPRA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of personal data, and to object to or withdraw consent for processing. Since we collect almost no data, the most effective way to exercise most of these rights is to decline optional cookies and clear your browser storage for this site. For anything else, contact us via the details below.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Significant changes will be highlighted on this page.
