Privacy Policy

Introduction

Glyph Widgets ("we", "our", "us") operates glyphwidgets.com (the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service.

Our Core Principle: All of our online tools process data entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device unless you explicitly choose to share it.

Data Collection

Tools Usage

Our online tools (JSON Formatter, QR Code Generator, and all other utilities) process all data locally in your browser using JavaScript. This means:

• No data you input into our tools is sent to our servers
• No data is stored on our servers
• No data is logged or recorded
• Tools work offline after the page loads

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This privacy-focused analytics service collects:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• Referrer sources (where you came from)
• Country-level location (derived from IP, IP not stored)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Browser type and version

We also use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to better understand website usage patterns. GA4 collects:

• Page views and session duration
• Referrer and traffic sources
• Device and browser information
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level)

Google Analytics does not collect the content you input into our tools. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising

We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this website. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. For more information and to opt out of personalized advertising, see Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.

What We Do NOT Collect

• Personal identifiable information (PII)
• IP addresses
• User tracking across websites
• Any data you input into our tools
• Cookies for advertising purposes

Local Storage

We use your browser's localStorage to save your preferences locally on your device:

• Theme preference: Remembers your light/dark mode choice
• Sidebar state: Remembers whether the navigation sidebar is collapsed or expanded
• Ad-free status: Stores your supporter activation code if you've removed ads

This data never leaves your device and is not sent to our servers.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to operate our website:

Your Rights

Under GDPR (EU Residents)

If you are a resident of the European Union, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of any inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your personal data
• Object to processing of your personal data
• Request data portability

Since we do not collect personal data beyond anonymous analytics, there is typically no personal data to access, correct, or delete.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected
• Know whether your personal information is sold or disclosed
• Say no to the sale of personal information
• Access your personal information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising your rights

We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

Data Security

We take data security seriously, even though we minimize data collection:

• All connections use HTTPS encryption
• No user data is stored on our servers
• Tools process data locally in your browser
• We use security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. Since we don't collect personal data from any users, this applies to all visitors regardless of age.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top.
