Your input data is processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers.

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information: None

We do not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information (PII). This includes:

  • Names, email addresses, or contact information
  • IP addresses or location data
  • Device information or browser fingerprints
  • User accounts or profiles
  • Usage patterns or behavioral data

Technical Data: Basic Analytics

We collect minimal analytics data to understand how our tools are used and improve performance:

  • Vercel Analytics: Page views, load times, and basic usage metrics
  • Google Analytics: Visitor counts, popular tools, and user flow patterns (planned)
  • Error monitoring: Anonymous crash reports to fix bugs
  • Performance metrics: Site speed and tool responsiveness data

Important: This analytics data is aggregated and anonymized. We don't link it to individual users or collect personally identifiable information through these services.

Your Tool Data: Stays With You

When you use our tools (convert URLs, count tokens, etc.), all processing happens locally in your browser. Your input data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

2. How We Use Information

We use the analytics data we collect for legitimate business purposes:

  • Product improvement: Understanding which tools are most valuable to users
  • Performance optimization: Identifying slow-loading pages or broken features
  • Security: Detecting unusual traffic patterns that might indicate attacks
  • Planning: Deciding which new tools to build based on user needs

We do not use this data for advertising, selling to third parties, or creating detailed user profiles. The focus is purely on making BuilderTools.dev more useful and reliable.

3. Information Sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade any user information with third parties.

The only exception would be if required by law enforcement with a valid legal request, but since we don't collect personal information, there would be nothing meaningful to share.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data:

These services have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We've configured them to collect the minimum data necessary for our purposes.

Our website may include links to external resources or documentation. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites.

4. Data Security

Since your data never leaves your browser, you have complete control over its security. However, we still take steps to protect our infrastructure:

  • HTTPS encryption: All connections to our site are encrypted
  • Vercel security: Enterprise-grade hosting infrastructure with DDoS protection
  • Regular security updates: We keep our dependencies and hosting environment updated
  • Minimal attack surface: By limiting data collection, we reduce security risks
  • Data minimization: We only collect what's necessary for basic analytics

Your Security: When using our tools, your data is processed entirely within your browser using JavaScript. This means your sensitive information (URLs, JSON data, etc.) never travels across the internet to our servers.

5. Cookies and Tracking

Cookies: Limited Use

We use minimal cookies and similar technologies:

  • Vercel Analytics: Uses cookies to track basic usage metrics
  • Google Analytics: Will use cookies for visitor tracking (when implemented)
  • No advertising cookies: We don't use cookies for ads or cross-site tracking

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect the accuracy of our usage analytics.

Analytics: Basic Usage Tracking

We use analytics services to understand how our tools are used:

  • Vercel Analytics: Currently active - tracks page views and performance
  • Google Analytics: Planned addition - will track user behavior patterns
  • Anonymized data: Analytics are configured to avoid collecting personal information

Local Storage: Tool Functionality Only

Some tools may temporarily store data in your browser's local storage to preserve your work between page refreshes (like saving your input in a converter). This data:

  • Stays on your device only
  • Can be cleared by you at any time
  • Is not accessible to us or any third parties
  • Is used purely for tool functionality

6. Your Rights
