Privacy Policy

At Toolverse ("we," "our," or "us"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. The short version is simple: our developer tools run entirely in your browser, and we do not collect, store, or transmit the data you process with them.

1. No User Accounts

Toolverse does not require user accounts. There is no registration, no login system, and no user profiles. You can use every tool on the site anonymously, without providing an email address, name, or any other personal information.

2. Data You Process With Our Tools

All tools on Toolverse — including the JSON formatter, JSON validator, JSON viewer, Base64 encoder, Base64 decoder, JWT decoder, and UUID generator — perform their processing entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. The data you paste into these tools is never transmitted to our servers or to any third-party server. We have no technical ability to access, log, or store the content you process with our tools.

3. Local Storage

We use the browser's localStorage API for a single purpose: storing your theme preference (light or dark mode) so it persists across visits. This value is a simple string ("light" or "dark") and contains no personal information. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data or by toggling the theme setting.

4. Google AdSense

We display advertisements through Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-9218674991991405). Google and its advertising partners may place cookies on your device and use web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to Toolverse and other websites. These cookies are managed by Google, not by Toolverse.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page. You may also opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

5. Google Analytics

If Google Analytics is enabled on Toolverse, it collects anonymized usage data such as page views, session duration, and referral sources. This data helps us understand which tools are most useful and where to focus development effort. Google Analytics may set its own cookies on your device. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Cookies Summary

7. Third-Party Links

Toolverse may contain links to external websites (for example, documentation references or opt-out pages). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

8. Children's Privacy

Toolverse is a general-audience developer tool site. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information through our site, please contact us and we will take steps to remove that information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Toolverse after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
