Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Overview

devtoolsforyou is a collection of browser-based developer utilities. All tools process your input locally inside your browser. No data you paste or type is sent to any server, logged, or stored anywhere outside your device.

Data we do not collect

DevToolsForYou itself collects none of the following. Third-party services described further down (analytics and advertising) are covered separately.

  • Input you paste or type into any tool
  • Output produced by any tool
  • Account information (there are no accounts)
  • Any personal data you have not chosen to send us by email

How the tools work

Every transformation — encoding, decoding, formatting, hashing, converting, comparing, and generating — runs entirely inside your web browser using standard browser APIs and JavaScript. When you paste a value and interact with a tool, your input is processed locally and the result is shown on the same page. Nothing you enter leaves your device.

Analytics

DevToolsForYou uses Google Analytics (GA4) to collect anonymised usage data — specifically which pages are visited and how often. This helps understand which tools are most useful. Google Analytics does not receive any input or output from the tools themselves. You can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

The site also uses Microsoft Clarity to record aggregate usage patterns and heatmaps, which helps identify confusing interfaces. Clarity masks text content by default, so the values you enter into tools are not captured. See the Microsoft Privacy Statement for details.

Hosting and infrastructure

DevToolsForYou is hosted on Vercel, with DNS and edge routing provided by Cloudflare. Both keep standard request logs (the URL path requested, timestamp, and basic request metadata such as IP address and user agent) for operational purposes like diagnosing errors and mitigating abuse. These logs never contain any input or output from the tools themselves. See the Vercel Privacy Policy and Cloudflare Privacy Policy for how each handles that data.

Advertising

DevToolsForYou displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Advertising revenue is what keeps every tool on this site free to use without an account.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site.
  • 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.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies or web beacons to serve ads and measure their effectiveness.
  • Advertising cookies never receive any input or output from the tools themselves — that data never leaves your browser.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. To opt out of personalised advertising from other participating vendors, visit aboutads.info or Your Online Choices (EU/UK). More detail on how Google uses data from this site is available in Google's partner-sites policy.

Cookies

DevToolsForYou does not set cookies of its own — there are no accounts, sessions, or preference cookies. However, the third-party services described above do set cookies in your browser:

  • Google Analytics — measurement cookies used to count visits and understand which tools are popular.
  • Google AdSense (including the DoubleClick cookie) — used to serve and measure advertising, and to limit how often you see the same ad.
  • Microsoft Clarity — used for aggregate usage analytics and heatmaps.

You can block or delete any of these cookies through your browser settings at any time. The tools on this site will continue to work normally with all cookies disabled.

Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data held about you, and to object to personalised advertising. Because this site holds no accounts and stores no tool data, the practical route for most requests is the opt-out links above. For anything further, contact us using the details below and we will respond within 30 days.

Children's privacy

devtoolsforyou does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. The tools are intended for use by developers and technically minded adults.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially, the updated date at the top of this page will be revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
