At Format And Fix, we believe that your data is exactly that - yours. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle data and operate our suite of web tools.
1. Zero Server Uploads (Client-Side Processing)
The core architectural principle of Format And Fix is local processing. When you use our tools to format code, convert an image, edit a PDF, or manipulate text, your files are never uploaded to our servers.
- All data processing occurs directly within your device's web browser using client-side JavaScript and WebAssembly technologies.
- Because we never receive your files, we cannot view, store, copy, share, or sell them.
- Once you close your browser tab, the data processed in that session is permanently gone.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Since we do not require user accounts and do not process your files on our servers, we do not collect:
- Your name, address, or phone number.
- Your payment information (our tools are 100% free).
- The contents of any text, code, PDFs, or images you paste or drop into our tools.
3. Analytics & Cookies
To understand how our website is performing and to improve user experience, we may use standard, privacy-respecting analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or Plausible). These tools collect basic, anonymized telemetry data, including:
- Pages visited and time spent on the site.
- Browser type, operating system, and general geographic location (e.g., country or city level).
- Referring websites or search queries that brought you to our site.
We do not use this data to identify individual users.
4. Advertising
To keep the site entirely free, we may display advertisements provided by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense). These third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet. You can easily opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the respective ad network's privacy settings.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new tools or features. Any changes will be immediately posted on this page with an updated revision date.
