Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 31, 2026

QuickDevTools ("we", "us", or "the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website.

1. Data Controller

QuickDevTools operates as the data controller for any personal data processed through this website. For questions or concerns about your data, please contact us through our About page.

2. Data Processing — Tools

All tools on QuickDevTools process data entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. No data you enter into any tool is ever uploaded to or stored on our servers.

When you use a tool (e.g., format JSON, convert an image, generate a hash), the processing happens locally on your device. The data never leaves your browser.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

We process limited personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Consent — For advertising cookies (Google AdSense). We obtain your consent through our cookie banner before loading any advertising scripts.
  • Legitimate Interest — For basic analytics to understand how our tools are used and improve the Service.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use the following types of cookies:

  • Essential cookies — Your dark mode preference and cookie consent choice (stored in localStorage). These are necessary for the Service to function.
  • Advertising cookies — Google AdSense may set cookies to serve relevant advertisements. These are only loaded after you provide consent through our cookie banner.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using your browser's cookie settings.

5. Your Rights (GDPR / EEA Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:

  • Access — Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
  • Rectification — Request correction of inaccurate data
  • Erasure — Request deletion of your personal data
  • Restriction — Request restriction of processing
  • Data Portability — Request transfer of your data
  • Object — Object to processing based on legitimate interest
  • Withdraw Consent — Withdraw consent for advertising cookies at any time
  • Complaint — Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Since our tools process data entirely in your browser, we do not store any tool input/output data on our servers. The only personal data we may process relates to analytics and advertising.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

  • Know what personal information is collected about you
  • Request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information
  • Non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights

Google AdSense may use cookies for behavioral advertising, which may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA. You can opt out of personalized advertising by declining cookies through our cookie banner or by visiting Google Ads Settings.

7. Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Advertising cookies are only loaded after you consent through our cookie banner (for EEA users).

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or DAA Opt-Out.

8. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Google Fonts — For typography (may set cookies)
  • Google AdSense — For advertising (uses cookies, loaded only with consent)
  • Cloudflare — For hosting and content delivery

9. Data Retention

We do not store any data from your use of our tools. Cookie consent preferences are stored in your browser's local storage until you clear them. Advertising cookies have their own retention periods as defined by Google.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
