Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how YAML Formatter Online ("we," "our," "the site") handles information when you use yaml-formatter.online.
The YAML formatter tool itself
The formatter, validator and converter on this site run entirely client-side, in your browser. Text you paste or upload into the tool is processed locally by JavaScript and is not transmitted to our servers or stored by us. We simply have no access to it.
Information we do collect
Like most websites, we automatically collect standard technical information when you visit, such as your approximate location (derived from IP address), browser type, device type, pages viewed, and referring site. This is collected through analytics and advertising services described below, not typed information from the tool.
Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
- Basic site analytics, to understand which pages are useful and which aren't.
- Serving advertising, including personalized advertising where permitted.
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site may display ads served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your past visits to this website or other websites.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate site usage. These tools may set their own cookies and collect information such as pages visited, time on page, and general location. This data is aggregated and is not used to identify you personally.
Children's privacy
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your choices
You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time. Doing so may affect some non-essential features of the site but will not affect the formatter tool, which does not rely on cookies to function.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "last updated" date.
