Privacy Policy

1. Overview

DevToolsHub is committed to your privacy. All tools run entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit your data. This privacy policy explains what information we do and do not collect, how we use the limited data we gather, and the choices you have regarding your privacy.

By using DevToolsHub, you agree to the practices described in this privacy policy. If you do not agree with these practices, you may stop using the site at any time.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

DevToolsHub is designed with a privacy-first architecture. All tool processing happens client-side in your browser. We specifically do not collect or process the following:

• Tool input data: Any text, code, files, or other data you paste or type into any tool is processed entirely in your browser and never sent to our servers.
• Tool output data: The results generated by our tools are computed locally and never transmitted to us.
• Personally identifiable tool usage patterns: We do not track which tools you use, what data you process, or how you interact with individual tools.
• Account information: DevToolsHub does not require accounts. We do not collect names, email addresses, or passwords.
• IP addresses for tracking: We do not use your IP address to build a profile or track your activity across visits.

3. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate site usage — which pages are visited, general geographic regions, device types, and referral sources. This helps us improve the site and decide which tools to build next.

Analytics are loaded only afteryou give consent via our cookie consent banner. If you do not consent, no analytics scripts are loaded. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer or clearing your consent preference.

Google Analytics may set cookies on your device to distinguish unique visitors and measure sessions. These cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy. We do not use analytics data to identify individual users.

4. Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements that support the ongoing development and hosting of DevToolsHub. Ads are loaded only after you give consent via our cookie consent banner.

Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also withdraw consent for ads at any time through our cookie settings.

5. Cookies

DevToolsHub uses a minimal set of cookies. The following cookies may be set on your device:

• Consent preference: Stores your cookie consent choice ("accept" or "reject") so we do not ask you again on every visit.
• Theme preference: Stores your light/dark mode preference so the site loads in your preferred theme.
• Google Analytics cookies: Set by GA4 only if you consent to analytics. These include _ga, _ga_*, and related cookies used to distinguish users and measure sessions.
• Google AdSense cookies: Set by AdSense only if you consent to advertising. These may include cookies used to serve relevant ads.

You can clear these cookies at any time through your browser settings. Clearing cookies will reset your consent and theme preferences.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under data protection laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in California:

• Right of access: You may request information about what personal data we hold about you. Since we do not collect personal data through our tools, there is typically no data to provide.
• Right to rectification: You may request correction of inaccurate personal data. As we do not collect personal data through tool usage, this right applies primarily to any correspondence data.
• Right to erasure: You may request deletion of any personal data we hold. Since we do not collect personal data through tool usage, you can exercise this right by clearing cookies and withdrawing consent for analytics and advertising.
• Right to object: You may object to the processing of your personal data. You can exercise this right by rejecting analytics and advertising consent through our cookie banner or settings.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us.
