Privacy Policy

1. 100% Client-Side Processing Guarantee

Unlike conventional web utilities, yamltojson.net operates entirely on your local device. When you paste text into our converter or upload a file (`.yaml`, `.yml`, `.json`, `.txt`), all parsing, syntax validation, and formatting occur inside your web browser using client-side JavaScript Web Workers and Web APIs.

Your input data, file contents, code strings, and API keys are NEVER transmitted across the internet to any server owned by us or third parties.

2. Data We Do Not Collect

Because our application architecture is stateless and backend-free, we do not collect, store, or log any of the following:

• No user input text, YAML strings, or JSON outputs.
• No uploaded file contents or metadata.
• No personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, physical addresses, or passwords.
• No user account data or login credentials.

3. Local Storage & Preferences

We may use standard browser localStorage strictly for non-sensitive user experience settings—such as saving your active conversion options or indent preferences. This data remains exclusively stored on your local browser instance and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We do not use tracking cookies or intrusive advertising profiles. We may utilize lightweight, privacy-focused web telemetry (such as standard server access logs or privacy-compliant analytics) to measure overall site traffic, page views, and performance metrics. These logs contain only anonymous data such as browser type, general geolocation region, and timestamp.

5. Third-Party External Links

Our website may contain references or links to external open-source projects, developer documentation (such as Astro or Tailwind CSS), or specifications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party external websites.
