Privacy Policy

Your data stays on your device. Always.

Last updated: June 14, 2025

At Best JSON Formatter ("we", "us", or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free online JSON formatter tool at thejsonformatter.com.

1. No Data Collection

We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any JSON data you paste, upload, or generate on this website. All formatting, validation, and visualization happens entirely within your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

  • JSON content you enter or paste into the editor
  • Files you upload for formatting
  • URLs you load JSON from (processed client-side only)
  • JSONPath queries or diff comparisons you run
  • Personal information such as name, email, or location

3. Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser localStorage solely to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). No tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies are set. No data is synced to any server.

4. Third-Party Services

We load fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these font files, Google may log the request (including your IP address) per their own privacy policy. We do not share any data with Google beyond this standard font request.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, advertising networks, or any other third-party tracking services.

5. Security

Because all processing is local to your browser and we collect no data, there is no server-side data storage to be breached. We serve the site over HTTPS to protect your connection.

6. Children's Privacy

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

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
