Privacy Policy

Overview

DevToolNow ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy distinguishes two completely separate kinds of data: (1) tool inputs(JSON, code, text you paste into our tools), which never leave your device, and (2) aggregate site-usage and advertising data, which Google Analytics and Google AdSense collect via cookies once you accept the consent banner.

1. Tool Inputs — Not Collected

All data processing (JSON formatting, diff checking, JWT decoding, regex testing, etc.) happens exclusively in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The text, code, or tokens you paste into our tools are never sent to our servers or to any third-party service.

You can verify this by opening your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and checking the Network tab while using any of our tools — there are zero outbound requests during a tool operation.

2. Site-Usage and Advertising Data — Collected via Google

DevToolNow is supported by ads. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which tools are popular and Google AdSense to show ads. Both load only after you accept the cookie consent banner; before consent, Google Consent Mode v2 keeps all advertising and analytics cookies in a denied state.

What this means: which pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate city-level location (estimated from IP, but the IP itself is not stored under GA4's 2020+ policy), your browser and device type, and your interactions with ads (clicks, impressions, frequency capping) are sent to Google. The contents of what you paste into our tools are never part of this data.

Cookies

Our site may use cookies for analytics purposes (Google Analytics) and advertising (Google AdSense). These are third-party cookies and do not contain any of your input data.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or through the cookie consent banner on our site.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics — for anonymous usage statistics
• Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements
• Amazon Associates — for product recommendations (affiliate links)

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing data collection.

Affiliate Disclosure

DevToolNow is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since we do not collect personal input data, data subject access requests regarding tool usage are not applicable.
