Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 14, 2026
The TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
We built our tools for developers, by developers. We know you hate tracking, and so do we. Here is the absolute truth about how we handle data:
- Your Code is Yours: Tools like JSONSurgeon, HTMLGlow, and CanIRunLLM run 100% inside your browser. We never collect, log, or transmit the text, code, or data you paste into them.
- Minimal Account Data: If you choose to create an account, we only save basic profile info (Username, Email, Gender, Age) to personalize your experience.
- No Selling Data: We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Ever.
1. Client-Side Tools & Tool Data
At id8, our primary suite of web utilities (including but not limited to JSONSurgeon, HTMLGlow, and CanIRunLLM) are architected to be "Client-Side First".
This means all processing, formatting, linting, and calculating happens locally via JavaScript within your own web browser's memory. Because of this architecture:
- We do not receive, collect, or store any code, JSON strings, HTML markup, or text you paste into our editors.
- We do not collect your hardware specifications when you use the CanIRunLLM calculator.
- Once you close the browser tab, that temporary data is gone forever.
2. Information We Collect (Registered Users)
While our core tools are free and accessible without an account, we offer advanced features that require user registration. If you choose to create an id8 account, we collect the following minimal personal information:
- Authentication Data: Your Email Address and an encrypted password (or OAuth tokens if signing in via Google/GitHub).
- Profile Data: Your chosen Username.
- Demographic Data (Optional): Age and Gender. This helps us understand our core demographics and tailor our UI/UX and tool offerings to our actual audience.
3. How We Use Your Information
The minimal account data we collect is used strictly for the following operational purposes:
- To create, maintain, and secure your account.
- To provide personalized settings across our ecosystem (e.g., saving your dark mode preference or preferred indentation settings).
- To communicate with you regarding security updates, account issues, or major tool updates (you can opt-out of marketing emails at any time).
4. Cookies and Local Storage
your local preferences (like "Strict Mode" toggles or editor font sizes). We do not use third-party tracking cookies to follow you across the internet or serve you targeted advertising based on your browsing history.Analytics: We use Amplitude to understand how our tools are used (e.g., which buttons are clicked, page load times, and error rates). This data analyzed in aggregate to improve product performance and user experience. It is not linked to your personal identity.
5. Third-Party Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to outside parties. We only share necessary data with trusted service providers who assist us in operating our website (such as cloud hosting providers or secure email dispatchers), provided those parties agree to keep this information confidential and secure.
- Typeform: Our contact forms are powered by Typeform. When you submit a message, the data is processed by Typeform in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
6. Data Security
We implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information. Your account data is stored behind secured networks and is only accessible by a limited number of persons who have special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential. All sensitive information you supply is encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.
7. Changes to this Policy
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on this page and update the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
