Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2023

1. Introduction and Core Philosophy

Welcome to XML Formatter. We take your data privacy extraordinarily seriously. Because our platform provides developer tools used for parsing system configurations, API responses, and database exports, our core philosophy is Zero Data Transmission.

2. How We Process Your Data (Local Processing)

We do NOT collect, store, intercept, or transmit the XML data you input into our tools.

All processing—including formatting, beautification, minification, and DOM syntax validation—occurs strictly locally within your own web browser. The logic is executed via client-side JavaScript. When you paste code into our editor, it is processed directly in your device's memory. We do not operate backend servers that receive your payloads.

3. Tracking and Web Analytics

To improve our service, understand which tools are most popular, and ensure our website is functioning correctly, we may use basic, industry-standard analytics tools (such as Google Analytics). These tools collect anonymized, aggregated metrics (like page views, browser types, and general geographic regions). They do not have access to the content you type into the XML formatting tools.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Our website utilizes standard functional cookies and browser LocalStorage necessary for basic website operation (such as remembering UI preferences like dark/light mode, if applicable) and for anonymous analytics tracking. You can control, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings without impacting the core functionality of the XML Formatter tool.

5. Third-Party Links

Our blog or tools pages may contain links to third-party developer resources, specifications, or external tools. Once you leave our website, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

6. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be immediately posted on this page with an updated revision date. By continuing to use the service, you acknowledge and accept these changes.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out to our team via the Contact Page.
