Privacy Policy

DevKit Forge (devkitforg.com) is built around a simple principle: the data you paste into a tool is yours, and it stays on your device. This policy explains exactly what that means in practice, and covers the few places where data does flow to us.

Tool input (JSON, tokens, text you hash, etc.)

Every tool on this site — the JSON formatter, Base64 encoder, URL encoder, JWT decoder, regex tester, and hash generator — runs entirely as JavaScript in your browser tab. When you paste text into a tool and click a button, that processing happens locally on your device using standard browser APIs (JSON.parse, crypto.subtle, and similar). None of it is sent to our servers, logged, stored, or accessible to us in any form. Closing the tab or refreshing the page clears it completely.

Local storage

We use your browser's localStorage to remember one thing: whether you've selected light or dark mode. This stays on your device, is never transmitted to us, and can be cleared at any time through your browser's site settings.

Contact form

If you use the contact form, the name, email address, topic, and message you submit are sent via server-side email to our inbox so we can respond to you. We keep that correspondence only as long as needed to handle your inquiry, and we don't add you to any mailing list or share it with third parties. The form includes a hidden spam-trap field that legitimate visitors never see or fill in.

Server logs

Like virtually every website, our hosting infrastructure keeps standard web server access logs (IP address, requested URL, timestamp, user agent) for security and abuse-prevention purposes. These are not linked to tool usage, since tool usage never reaches our servers in the first place.

Cookies and analytics

We do not currently run third-party analytics or advertising scripts on tool pages. If that changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly, and any tracking will respect standard "Do Not Track" and consent conventions.

Children's privacy

This site is a technical reference tool aimed at developers and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we'll update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected clearly on this page.
