The short version

Anything you put into a tool stays in your browser. JSONWorks has no backend that receives your input, no database storing it and no logs recording it.

The site does use Google Analytics to count page views, which sets cookies and is the one thing here that talks to a server. It never sees your tool data. The full detail is below.

What happens to the data you paste

Everything you type, paste, upload or drop into a tool is processed by JavaScript running in your own browser tab. It is never transmitted anywhere. When you close or reload the tab, it is gone.

Files you open are read locally through the browser's file API. Uploading here means "read from your disk into this tab" — not "send to a server".

Share links

Some tools can produce a shareable link. The data is compressed into the part of the URL after the #, which browsers never send to a server. The content stays in the link itself. Anyone with the link can read the data, so treat a share link with the same care as the data inside it.

Local storage

One preference is stored in your browser: your light or dark theme choice. It stays on your device and is never transmitted.

Analytics and cookies

This site uses Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic — which pages are visited, roughly where visitors come from, and which devices they use. That tells me which tools are worth improving.

To be precise about what this means, because it is the one place data does leave your browser:

• Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga and similar) to recognise returning visitors.
• It records page URLs, referrer, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser and device type.
• It does not receive anything you type, paste, upload or generate in any tool. That data is processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted — the analytics tag has no access to it, and no tool sends its contents anywhere.

You can opt out with Google's browser add-on, with any content blocker, or by enabling Do Not Track in browsers that still honour it. Blocking analytics does not affect any tool on this site — everything keeps working.

Third parties

Two third-party services are used, both from Google:

• Google Fonts serves the typefaces, so Google sees your IP address as part of that font request.
• Google Analytics, as described above.

No other third-party scripts run on these pages. There is no advertising, no ad network, and no data is sold or shared with anyone.

Offline use

JSONWorks installs as a progressive web app and caches itself. Once cached, it works with no network connection at all — which is also the simplest proof that nothing is being sent anywhere.
