Privacy Policy
Overview
DataValidate Pro is committed to protecting your privacy. This document explains how we handle data when you use our tools.
Data Collection
We collect NO personal data. Period.
- No user accounts or authentication
- No server-side data storage
- No personally identifiable information (PII)
- No cookies (except localStorage for preferences)
- Only anonymous page view metrics via privacy-focused Vercel Analytics
How Our Tools Work
All data validation and conversion happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript:
- YAML/JSON/XML/CSV converters: All processing is client-side using browser JavaScript libraries
- JWT Decoder: Decodes tokens locally in your browser
- Hash Generator: Uses Web Crypto API (browser built-in)
- UUID Generator: Uses browser's crypto.randomUUID()
- JSON Validator: Uses browser's built-in JSON.parse()
Your data NEVER leaves your device. We never see it, store it, or transmit it.
Browser Storage
We use browser storage for the following purposes:
localStorage
- Dark mode preference: Saves your theme choice (light/dark)
- Tool preferences: Saves non-sensitive settings like delimiter choices
IndexedDB (if implemented)
- History feature: Stores your recent conversions locally in your browser
- You control this data: Clear your browser data to remove it
Important: All browser storage is local to your device. We cannot access it.
Third-Party Services
Vercel Analytics (Privacy-Focused)
We use Vercel Analytics for basic traffic insights. This is a privacy-focused analytics service that:
- Does NOT use cookies
- Does NOT track individual users across sessions
- Does NOT collect personal information
- Collects only anonymous page views and performance metrics
- Is GDPR, CCPA, and PECR compliant
Vercel Analytics helps us understand which tools are most popular and identify performance issues, without compromising your privacy.
What We Don't Use
- No traditional analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.)
- No advertising networks
- No social media tracking pixels
- No external APIs for core functionality
If we add AI features in the future that use external APIs, we will:
- Clearly disclose which provider is used
- Explain what data is sent
- Make the feature optional
- Update this privacy policy
Your Rights
You have complete control over your data because it lives in your browser:
- Right to access: Check your browser's localStorage/IndexedDB
- Right to delete: Clear your browser data or use our "Clear History" buttons
- Right to portability: Export your data using tool download features
- Right to privacy: We can't access your data because it never leaves your browser
Security
Since all processing is client-side:
- Your sensitive data (JWTs, hashes, API responses) stays on your device
- No server-side vulnerabilities that could expose your data
- No database breaches possible (we have no database)
- No man-in-the-middle attacks on your conversion data
Recommendation: For extra-sensitive data, use our tools offline or in a private browser window.
Changes to This Policy
If we update this privacy policy, we will:
- Update this document
- Note the change date below
- Maintain transparency about what changed
