Privacy Policy

Effective July 13, 2026

This page explains, in plain terms, what codeformatter does and does not do with your data. If anything here is unclear, contact us.

The short version

codeformatter has no accounts, no sign-up, and no backend server at all. The code you paste or import is formatted entirely on your own device, using Prettier or clang-format compiled to WebAssembly — it is never transmitted anywhere, never stored, and disappears the moment you close or reload the page. We use Google AdSense to show ads, which involves cookies — details below.

What happens to the code you paste

Nothing leaves your browser. Formatting runs client-side using JavaScript (Prettier) or WebAssembly (clang-format) loaded once from this site and then executed locally. There is no upload, no job ID, no temporary storage, and no server-side processing of any kind — unlike a typical "paste your code" tool, there is no backend to send it to.

No accounts, no profiles

There is no login and no user database. We have no way to link a formatting session to your identity.

Server logs

The static files that make up this site (HTML, JS, CSS) are served by a standard web server, which — like virtually all web servers — automatically logs standard technical information for security and operational purposes: things like IP address, requested path, timestamp, and browser user agent. These logs have nothing to do with the code you format, since that never reaches the server.

Cookies & advertising

This site is supported by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies (including the DoubleClick/DART cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites, and to measure ad performance. Depending on your location, some ads may be personalized based on your interests.

You can:

See and adjust how Google personalizes ads for you at adssettings.google.com.
Opt out of personalized advertising more broadly at aboutads.info/choices.
Read how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Where required (for example, for visitors in the UK and EEA), we ask for your consent to ad and analytics cookies via a banner shown on your first visit. You can change your choice at any time using the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the site footer.

Children's privacy

codeformatter is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time as the service changes. The effective date at the top will always reflect the latest revision.
