Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 23, 2025
At TheDevToolkit, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our developer tools. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
Collection of Your Information
We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the website includes:
Personal Data
When using our website, we generally do not require personally identifiable information. Our tools process your data entirely within your browser, so the actual content you process (like text you encrypt, hash, or format) never reaches our servers.
However, we may collect the following limited personal information:
- IP address (through our analytics provider)
- Browser type and version
- Device type and screen information
- Operating system
- Page visits and time spent on the website
Client-Side Processing
All of our tools operate entirely within your browser using JavaScript. Any data you input for processing (such as text to encrypt, strings to hash, or JSON to format) remains on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. This approach ensures that your sensitive information remains private.
Use of Your Information
We may use the information we collect about you for the following purposes:
- To improve our website and tools by analyzing usage patterns
- To identify and fix errors
- To understand our user demographics
- To provide technical support and respond to inquiries
- To enforce our terms, conditions, and policies
- To personalize your experience
Disclosure of Your Information
We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:
Third-Party Service Providers
We may share your information with third-party vendors who provide services on our behalf, such as:
- Analytics providers (Google Analytics)
- Advertising partners (AdSense)
- Hosting and CDN providers
These third parties have access to limited non-personally identifiable information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal requests such as subpoenas, court orders, or legal process.
Tracking Technologies
Cookies and Web Beacons
We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies to help customize the website and improve your experience. When you access our website, your personal information is not collected through the use of tracking technology. Most browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can remove or reject cookies, but be aware that such action could affect the availability and functionality of the website.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to help us understand how our users interact with the website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect information such as how often users visit the website, what pages they visit, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the website. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the website, rather than your name or other identifying information.
We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by theGoogle Analytics Terms of Useand theGoogle Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Websites
The website may contain links to third-party websites and applications of interest that are not affiliated with us. Once you click on these links, you will be directed to that third party's site. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to carefully review the privacy policy of any website you visit.
Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
Our client-side processing approach means that sensitive data you input for processing in our tools never leaves your browser, providing an additional layer of security for your information.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this privacy policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this privacy policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
