Your privacy is important to FreeFormatter. This privacy statement provides information about the personal information that FreeFormatter collects, and the ways in which FreeFormatter uses that personal information.
The Tools process data in your browser
The Tools available on FreeFormatter — formatters, validators, encoders & decoders, code minifiers and beautifiers, converters, cryptography and security tools, string escapers and utilities, data generators and other web resources — are implemented in JavaScript and run entirely on your device. The text and files you paste or upload are never sent to our servers, never collected, never stored and never otherwise persisted.
A small number of options (for example your preferred indentation level or theme) may be remembered in your browser's local storage so that they are pre-selected the next time you visit. This information stays in your browser and can be cleared at any time.
Personal information collection
FreeFormatter may collect and use anonymous, aggregated information about your use of this website, namely information about browsing and linking, in order to administer this website and improve the Tools.

Where FreeFormatter discloses your personal information to its agents or sub-contractors for these purposes, the agent or sub-contractor in question will be obligated to use that personal information in accordance with the terms of this privacy statement.
In addition to the disclosures reasonably necessary for the purposes identified elsewhere above, FreeFormatter may disclose your personal information to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise or defend its legal rights.
Securing your data
FreeFormatter will take reasonable technical and organisational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
