Legal & Privacy

Transparency regarding how ST DevTools operates and protects your data.

No-Storage Policy (Ephemeral Processing)
Privacy Policy

At ST DevTools, we prioritize data security. We operate on a strict "No-Storage" policy. This means your payloads are never saved to a database, file system, or log file.

1. Hybrid Processing Architecture

Depending on the complexity of the tool, data is processed in one of two ways:

  • Client-Side Tools (Browser Only): Utilities like the Formatter, Diff Finder, Regex Tester, and Encoders run 100% within your web browser. Data never leaves your device.
  • Server-Side Tools (Ephemeral): Complex utilities like the XPath Validator, XSD Generator, and JSON Schema Gen require server-side processing. For these tools, data is transmitted securely via HTTPS, processed in temporary memory (RAM), and immediately discarded after the response is sent.
2. Cookies & Analytics

We do not use tracking cookies. We utilize your browser's "Local Storage" solely to remember your UI preferences (e.g., Dark Mode) to improve your experience.
