Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Introduction

At DataFlow.pub, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our JSON formatting and validation tool.

Our core principle is simple: your data stays with you. All JSON processing happens entirely in your browser, and we never send your data to our servers.

Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we don't collect:

  • We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any JSON data you input into our tool
  • We do NOT track or store your formatted, minified, or validated JSON content
  • We do NOT require or collect personal information such as names, emails, or phone numbers
  • We do NOT use cookies to track your behavior or identify you personally
  • We do NOT sell, rent, or share your data with third parties

How Our Tool Works

DataFlow.pub is a client-side application, which means:

  • All JSON processing (formatting, minifying, validating) happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript
  • Your JSON data never leaves your device or gets transmitted to our servers
  • You can use the tool completely offline once the page has loaded
  • No backend server processes or stores your data

Analytics and Performance Monitoring

To improve our service and understand how users interact with our tool, we use Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. These services collect anonymous usage data such as:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • General geographic location (country/region level, not specific addresses)
  • Browser type and device information
  • Performance metrics like page load times

These analytics do NOT include any of your JSON data or personally identifiable information. The data is aggregated and anonymous.

Advertising

DataFlow.pub is supported by Google AdSense to keep the service free for everyone. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing history across different websites.

Important notes about advertising:

  • Google AdSense is a third-party service with its own privacy policy
  • Ads are served based on general browsing patterns, not your JSON data
  • You can manage ad personalization through your Google account settings
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings

For more information about how Google uses data, please review the Google Privacy & Terms.

Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your JSON data, there's no risk of your data being breached from our servers. Your data security depends on your browser and device security.

We recommend using HTTPS (which we provide) and keeping your browser up to date to ensure the highest level of security when using our tool.

Children's Privacy

DataFlow.pub does not knowingly collect any information from children under the age of 13. Our service is designed for developers and professionals. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please contact us.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will notify users of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data or store your JSON content, there's no personal data for you to request, modify, or delete. However, you have the right to:

  • Use the tool without providing any personal information
  • Opt out of personalized advertising through Google's settings
  • Clear your browser's cache and cookies at any time
  • Use browser extensions that block analytics or advertisements

Summary

Your JSON data is private and stays in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit your data to our servers. We use anonymous analytics to improve the service and display ads to keep it free. That's it.
