Introduction

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

Data Processing Philosophy

Our core principle is simple: your data stays on your device. All developer tools on this website process data entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. We do not transmit, store, or log any data you enter into our tools.

Information We Collect

Tool Usage Data

When you use our tools, all processing happens locally in your browser. We do not collect, transmit, or store:

  • JSON data you format or validate
  • Base64 strings you encode or decode
  • JWT tokens you decode
  • URLs you encode or decode
  • SQL queries you format
  • Any other data you input into our tools

Analytics Data (with consent)

With your consent, we may collect anonymous usage analytics including:

  • Pages visited
  • Tools used (but not the data entered)
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Approximate geographic location (country level)
  • Referral source

This data helps us understand which tools are most useful and improve the service.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for:

  • Essential cookies: To remember your consent preferences
  • Analytics cookies (with consent): To track anonymous usage statistics
  • Advertising cookies (with consent): To display relevant advertisements

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the "Manage Consent" link in the footer.

How We Use Information

Any information we collect (with your consent) is used solely to:

  • Improve the functionality and usability of our tools
  • Understand which tools are most valuable to users
  • Display relevant advertisements to support the free service
  • Comply with legal obligations

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for analytics and advertising, but only with your explicit consent. These services may collect data according to their own privacy policies:

  • Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics, Plausible)
  • Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense)

You can opt out of these services by rejecting non-essential cookies in our consent banner.

Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your tool input data, there's no risk of that data being compromised. For any data we do collect (with consent), we implement appropriate security measures to protect it from unauthorized access.
