Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 1, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to Easy JSON Formatter ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information through our service.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
Easy JSON Formatter operates entirely in your browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any JSON data you input. All processing happens locally on your device.
2.2 Automatically Collected Information
We do not run analytics or tracking scripts. Like any website, our hosting provider (Netlify) receives standard technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the time of the request, and may keep it in server logs for security and reliability purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
Technical request data is used only to deliver the website, keep it secure and diagnose problems. We do not sell, rent or share personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your JSON data is never stored on our servers. All formatting, validation, and minification happens in your browser. When you close the page, your data is not retained anywhere.
We use industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption, security headers, and Content Security Policy to protect our website and users.
5. Third-Party Services
- Netlify hosts the website (see Netlify's privacy policy).
- Google Fonts serves the website's typeface. Your browser requests the font directly from Google, which receives your IP address (see Google's privacy policy).
6. Cookies and Local Storage
Easy JSON Formatter does not set any cookies. It uses your browser's own storage in these ways, all of which stay on your device and are never sent to us:
- Preferences such as theme, indentation, font size and panel layout are saved in local storage so they persist between visits.
- Your input is saved in local storage only if you turn on "Remember my input" in Settings. It is off by default, and turning it off deletes the saved copy.
- Offline cache: a service worker stores a copy of the website's own files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and icons) so the tool works offline. Your JSON is never stored there.
Share links contain your JSON, compressed, after the # in the URL. Browsers do not send that part of a URL to the server, so the data is only visible to people you give the link to.
You can remove everything at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data
- Opt-out of analytics and tracking
- Export your data in a portable format
8. GDPR and Data Protection
For users in the European Union, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You have additional rights including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
9. CCPA Compliance
For California residents, Easy JSON Formatter complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). You have the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the sale of your personal information.
10. Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received such information, we will delete it immediately.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, if necessary, by email. Your continued use of our service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
