# Privacy

unstringify.com is local-first. What you paste, drop or open stays in the tab you opened it in. Everything below is checkable against your own network tab, which is why it is written as a list of facts rather than as a policy.

## Where your data goes

- Reading, fixing, comparing, searching, converting — this tab. No request is made.
- Your open files and recents — this browser’s storage. Never synced.
- Share links — the URL itself. Browsers never send the part after #.
- Analytics — none. No session recording, no third-party scripts.

## What we store

- localStorage: your preferences, your shortcut map, and the metadata for your open tabs and recents. A few hundred kilobytes at most.
- IndexedDB: the body of any document over 256 KB, so a large file does not blow the localStorage quota. Stored under this origin only.
- Cookies: none. There is no account to keep you signed in to.

Preferences → Privacy measures all of it and clears it row by row, and “Erase everything” removes the lot.

## What we never collect

- Analytics, tracking pixels, fingerprinting, or session replay.
- Third-party scripts of any kind. The code editor (Monaco) is bundled into the build and served from unstringify.com like every other script on the page; it used to come from cdn.jsdelivr.net and no longer does.
- Font requests. next/font downloads JetBrains Mono and Bricolage Grotesque at build time and serves them from unstringify.com, so your browser never asks Google for either.
- Your data. Your JSON, YAML, XML, CSV and logs stay on your device.

## Share links

A share link packs the document itself — compressed — into the URL fragment, the part after #. Browsers never send fragments in HTTP requests, so the shared data reaches no server: not ours, not our host’s. It travels only inside the link you choose to send, and is decoded entirely in the recipient’s browser.

## Contact

Questions, or something on this page you can disprove: hello@unstringify.com. The terms of use are one page and just as short.
