Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Welcome to Online JSON Formatt (OJF). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices and your rights. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

1. Data Collection & Storage

Browser-Based Processing: The vast majority of our tools operate directly in your browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

  • Your JSON, XML, YAML, and other data remains exclusively on your device
  • We never store, save, or archive your input data
  • No data is transmitted to our servers for processing unless you explicitly use optional server-side features
  • You have complete control over your data at all times

When You Leave: Once you close your browser tab, all your data is cleared from memory. We have no way to access previous conversions or formatting operations.

2. Optional Server-Side Features

Some advanced features may require processing on our servers:

  • AI-Based JSON Repair: When you use our AI-powered JSON fixer, your JSON is temporarily sent to our AI service for processing
  • Blog Content: Article content is fetched from our servers
  • Usage Analytics: We collect anonymized usage statistics to improve our service

For these features: Only the minimum necessary data is transmitted. We do not use or store your data for marketing purposes, except where required for analytics, advertising (Google AdSense), or legal compliance.

3. Analytics & Tracking

We use analytics tools to understand how users interact with our website and to improve our service:

  • Google Analytics: Tracks page views, user sessions, and general site performance (anonymized data only)
  • Microsoft Clarity: Records user interactions to help us understand UX patterns and improve website usability

Important: These tools do NOT collect your JSON data or any personal information. They only track your general browsing patterns.

4. Consent, Cookies, and Advertising (EEA, UK, Switzerland)

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we comply with GDPR, UK GDPR, and Swiss data protection laws regarding consent and advertising:

Google AdSense & Consent Management Platform (CMP)

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google may use cookies and other tracking technologies to serve personalized or non-personalized ads based on your preferences.

Your Advertising Choices:

  • Manage Consent: You can manage or withdraw your advertising consent at any time through our consent banner or your browser settings
  • Google CMP Integration: We use Google's Consent Management Platform to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and respect your choices

Additional Controls: You can also manage ad personalization through Google Ads Settings or opt out via Your Online Choices.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

Our website may use cookies and local storage to enhance your experience:

  • Functionality Cookies: Store your preferences (theme, language, UI settings)
  • Analytics Cookies: Track visitor statistics and site performance
  • Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense): Used to display relevant or non-personalized advertisements based on your browsing behavior. These cookies are controlled via our consent banner and comply with GDPR, UK GDPR, and Swiss data protection requirements

We use third-party services for specific functions. Each service has its own privacy policy:

We take security seriously:

  • We implement industry-standard security headers and practices
  • However, no security is 100% guaranteed; you use our service at your own risk

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

  • Access: Request what personal data we have about you
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your personal data (right to be forgotten)

If we become aware of such collection, we will take immediate steps to delete such information. Parents or guardians who believe we have inadvertently collected information about a child should contact us immediately.
