Privacy Policy

1. Privacy First Approach

At DevBuddy, we believe in privacy by design. All our tools work entirely in your browser, which means your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.

2. Information Handling

2.1 Data Processing

All data processing happens locally in your browser. We do not:

• Store your input data on our servers
• Track what specific tools or features you use
• Collect personal identifiers or sensitive information
• Use cookies for tracking purposes (only essential session cookies when absolutely necessary)

2.2 Third-Party Services

Some tools may interact with third-party APIs (like code formatters or validators). In these cases:

• Data is sent directly from your browser to the service
• We don't intermediate or store these communications
• You're subject to the privacy policies of those services

3. Analytics

We use privacy-focused analytics (like Plausible or self-hosted solutions) to understand:

• General usage patterns (e.g., most popular tools)
• Aggregate traffic statistics
• Performance metrics

This data is fully anonymized and cannot be traced back to individual users. We don't use Google Analytics or similar tracking systems.

4. Data Security

While all processing happens in your browser, we still implement security best practices:

• Regular security audits of our codebase
• HTTPS encryption for all communications
• Minimal external dependencies
• Open-source transparency for core functionality

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be announced through our website or newsletter.
