Privacy Policy

Overview

Welcome to DevToolKitLab ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit and use our website at devtoolkitlab.com (the "Site").

We are committed to protecting your privacy. DevToolKitLab is a free browser-based developer toolkit — all tools run entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or process any content you paste into our tools on our servers.

How Our Tools Work

All tools on DevToolKitLab operate entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

• When you format JSON, the processing happens in your browser tab
• When you compress an image, the compression is done locally on your device
• When you encode/decode Base64 or JWT, no data leaves your computer
• When you use the CSV viewer or text diff tool, your data stays in your browser
