Privacy Policy

At DevTidy ("we", "us", or "our"), we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. By using our website at devtidy.com (the "Service"), you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

DevTidy is designed to collect as little personal data as possible. Here is what we do and do not collect:

Data You Enter Into Tools

Most DevTidy tools run entirely in your browser. Any data you enter — JSON payloads, text, code snippets, images, or other content — is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. We have no access to, and do not store, the content you work with.

Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our website, your browser automatically sends certain information to our hosting provider. This may include:

• IP address (seen only by our hosting and analytics providers)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Pages visited and time spent on each page

We use this data solely for understanding aggregate usage patterns and improving the Service. We do not associate this data with any individual identity.

What We Do Not Collect

• We do not require accounts — no names, emails, or passwords are collected.
• We do not use contact forms that store your personal information on our servers.
• We do not track individual users across sessions.
• We do not sell, rent, or share any personal data with third parties.

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited data we collect only for the following purposes:

• Analytics: To understand how visitors use our site, which tools are most popular, and how we can improve the experience.
• Performance: To monitor site performance and detect issues.
• Security: To protect against abuse and ensure the Service remains available for everyone.

We do not sell your personal data. Advertising on our site is served by Google AdSense, which may use cookies to display relevant ads. See Section 3 for details on advertising cookies.

3. Cookies

DevTidy uses the following categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly, such as remembering your cookie preferences.
• Analytics cookies: Used to collect anonymous usage statistics that help us understand how the website is used and improve your experience.
• Advertising cookies: Used by third-party ad services such as Google AdSense to display ads relevant to your interests. These cookies may serve personalized ads based on your browsing behavior.

You can manage your cookie preferences using the consent banner at the bottom of the page. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Service.

3.1 Google AdSense & Ad Personalization

This website uses Google AdSense to display ads. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Learn more about how Google uses cookies for advertising at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. You can also opt out of interest-based advertising through aboutads.info/choices.

4. Third-Party Services

DevTidy relies on the following third-party services:

Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare for website hosting and content delivery. Cloudflare may process your IP address and request data to serve pages and provide security features (such as DDoS protection). Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated usage data. We have configured it to anonymize IP addresses and do not use any of Google's advertising features. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense as a third-party ad serving service. Google may use cookies and web beacons to display ads relevant to this site's content. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. See Google's Privacy Policy and how AdSense uses cookies for more information.

Each of these third-party services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle data.

5. Data Security

The majority of DevTidy tools are browser-based, meaning your data is processed and stays on your local device. For tools that do require server-side processing (such as DNS lookups), data is transmitted over HTTPS and is not persisted after the request is completed.

Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS to ensure all communications between your browser and our servers are encrypted. We follow industry best practices to protect the infrastructure that hosts our Service.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to access: You can request information about what data we process about you.
• Right to erasure: You can request that we delete any data we hold about you.
• Right to object: You can object to certain types of data processing.
• Right to data portability: You can request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format.

Because DevTidy does not collect personal data directly (no accounts, no stored user profiles), most of these rights are inherently satisfied. If you have a specific request, please contact us at hello@devtidy.com.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

7. Children's Privacy

DevTidy is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.

8. 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 make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If we make material changes, we will provide a prominent notice on our website. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
