Privacy Policy

Controller and processing boundary

JSON Formatter Lab is the public controller for the canonical production website. Use [email protected] for privacy, legal, error-reporting objection, and data-rights requests.

JSON Formatter Lab does not use browser analytics. Scrubbed application-error reporting on the canonical production website must not receive JSON content, editor state, filenames, search terms, diagnostics, or other payload-derived data.

JSON payloads stay in your browser unless you explicitly copy or download them. Formatting, validation, repair suggestions, search, projections, and comparison run in browser code and workers, not in an application backend.

Data categories, purposes, and lawful bases

Payload and editor-session data are used to provide the formatting, validation, repair, projection, search, and comparison actions you request. JSON Formatter Lab does not receive that content as part of normal tool use.

Site-delivery and security data, such as IP address, user agent, request URL, timestamp, response status, and security events, is used to deliver the static site, protect availability, and investigate abuse. The lawful basis is legitimate interests in secure and reliable delivery.

Scrubbed application-error reporting is used for service security and reliability under legitimate interests, subject to the right to object.

Contact correspondence is used to answer and follow up on requests. The lawful basis is responding to your request, legitimate interests in handling legal and security issues, and legal obligations where they apply.

Error reporting objection

Application-error reporting uses legitimate interests for service reliability and security. You can object through [email protected].

Error reporting creates no cookie or persistent user identifier. It uses strict payload scrubbing, sends only approved application metadata, excludes JSON content, editor state, filenames, search terms, diagnostics, attachments, console capture, request bodies, and other payload-derived data, and retains events for 30 days before deletion.

Objecting to error reporting does not affect the tool. Anonymous prior error events remain only until the 30-day retention period because they cannot reliably be linked back to you.

Site delivery and security

A hosting and security provider is used for delivery, caching, TLS, abuse prevention, and security filtering. Request and security records are retained according to the shortest contractually available settings and operational need.

JSON Formatter Lab keeps no separate application access log. Any JSON Formatter Lab-controlled or accessible copy of request or security data is capped at 30 days unless a legal obligation, active security investigation, or dispute requires longer retention.

Cookies and browser storage

JSON Formatter Lab stores Application appearance and Editor theme preferences in browser storage.

Encrypted page-lifetime recovery storage keeps an active editing session recoverable within the same browser page lifecycle without exposing clear payload text in storage metadata. Browser storage is not used to create an account or transmit JSON payloads to error reporting.

JSON Formatter Lab does not use browser analytics or analytics cookies.

Recipients and transfers

Service recipients are limited to providers used for site delivery and security and scrubbed application-error reporting.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights of access, correction, erasure, restriction, portability, withdrawal, and objection. You can use [email protected] to make a request.

Use [email protected] to object to error reporting. You may also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in your country or region.

Contact and rights requests

Use [email protected] for privacy, legal, objection, and data-rights requests. The address is used to answer and follow up on requests, not for marketing.

Routine correspondence is deleted within 90 days after resolution unless a legal obligation, active security investigation, or dispute requires longer retention.

Children under 16

JSON Formatter Lab is a general developer tool and is not directed to children under 16. It does not knowingly collect children's personal data or use child-oriented content, advertising, or profiling.

If children's personal data reaches error reporting or contact correspondence, JSON Formatter Lab deletes it when legally and technically possible. Parents and guardians can use [email protected].

Security

JSON Formatter Lab limits production processing to a static site bundle, browser workers, same-origin application assets, no browser analytics, no remote fonts or advertising scripts, and payload scrubbing for error reporting.

No security measure is perfect, so avoid emailing sensitive JSON payloads unless you have independently decided email is appropriate for that data.

Policy changes

JSON Formatter Lab may update this policy as processing, vendors, retention settings, safeguards, or legal requirements change. The Last updated date shows the current version.
