Technical Security and Privacy Measures
HTTPS Encryption
All data transmission between your browser and our website is encrypted using TLS 1.3, ensuring your browsing activity remains private and secure.
Content Security Policy
We implement strict Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and ensure only trusted content is executed.
Secure Headers
Security headers including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options protect against various web-based attacks and ensure secure communication.
Zero-Knowledge Design
Our tools are designed with zero-knowledge architecture, meaning we never have access to the data you process, even temporarily.
Local Processing
All computations happen in your browser's JavaScript engine. Whether you're formatting JSON or generating UUIDs, everything stays on your device.
No Session Storage
We don't use server-side sessions or store any user-generated content. Each tool use is completely independent and stateless.
Privacy Best Practices for Developers and Users
While our tools don't store your data, it's important to follow privacy best practices when working with sensitive information:
For Developers:
- • Never paste production API keys or secrets
- • Use dummy data for testing JSON formatters
- • Clear browser cache after processing sensitive data
- • Use private/incognito browsing for confidential work
- • Verify tool URLs before entering sensitive information
For General Users:
- • Avoid using public computers for sensitive tasks
- • Log out of accounts before using shared devices
- • Keep browsers updated for latest security patches
- • Use strong, unique passwords for accounts
- • Enable two-factor authentication where available
As developers use our tools for various data processing tasks, understanding data privacy principles is crucial:
Privacy by Design
Implement privacy considerations from the start of your development process. Consider data minimization, purpose limitation, and user consent in your applications.
Data Anonymization
When testing with our tools, use anonymized or synthetic data instead of real user information. This protects user privacy and helps you comply with regulations.
Secure Development Practices
Use our hash generators and encryption tools responsibly. Never hardcode secrets in your applications, and always use proper key management practices.
