Introduction

JSON Tool ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our online JSON viewer, validator, and formatter tool.

Information We Collect

We are committed to minimal data collection. Here's what we collect:

• JSON Data: All JSON processing happens entirely in your browser. We do not store, transmit, or collect your JSON data on our servers.
• Authentication Data: If you choose to sign in with Google, we collect basic profile information (name, email, profile picture) through Firebase Authentication. This is used solely for user identification and subscription management.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics through standard web analytics to improve our service.
• Local Storage: Your browser may store JSON history and preferences locally on your device. This data never leaves your device.

How We Use Your Information

• To provide and maintain our JSON viewing and validation services
• To manage user accounts and subscriptions (if applicable)
• To improve our service and user experience
• To communicate with you about your account or our services

AI Features and Data Processing

• Processed according to Google's privacy policy
• Not stored by Google beyond the processing session

• Transmitted securely over HTTPS

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information:
