Privacy Policy

1. Client-Side Processing

The vast majority of utilities provided on DevPik operate entirely on the client-side — within your web browser. This means the text, code, or data you input into our tools is processed locally on your device and is **never transmitted to, stored on, or viewed by our servers**. Your data remains strictly confidential and under your complete control.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal data to operate and improve our services:

• **Log Data** — IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, date/time stamps, and page interaction data
• **Usage Analytics** — Anonymous usage statistics to understand which tools are most popular and improve our service
• **Cookies** — Essential cookies for site functionality and third-party cookies from advertising partners

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used exclusively to:

• Analyze traffic trends and site performance
• Improve user experience and tool functionality
• Serve relevant advertisements to support free access to our tools
• Prevent abuse, fraud, and security threats

4. Cookies & Advertising

DevPik uses Google AdSense and related services to display advertisements. Google may use cookies (including DART cookies) to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting [Google's Ad Settings](https://adssettings.google.com/). Third-party vendors may also use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information for ad targeting.

5. Third-Party Services

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or embed third-party services. We have no control over the content, privacy practices, or policies of these external services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit. Key third-party services we use include:

• **Google AdSense** — Advertising ([Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy))
• **Google Analytics** — Usage analytics ([Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy))
• **Vercel** — Hosting ([Privacy Policy](https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy))

6. Data Security

We take reasonable precautions to protect the limited information we collect. Since our tools process data client-side, your sensitive data never leaves your browser. For the usage data we do collect, we implement industry-standard security measures to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction or deletion of your data
• The right to opt out of personalized advertising
