1. Information we collect
FormatArc is designed so that user-provided conversion content such as JSON, YAML, and CSV is not normally transmitted to or stored on our application servers during the standard workflow. However, basic technical data such as IP address, browser type, referrer, and access time may still be recorded by hosting infrastructure or CDN providers as part of normal web delivery logs.
2. How input data is handled
Formatting and conversion currently run inside the user's browser. As a result, FormatArc does not intend to collect, review, or retain the text pasted into the editor or the output generated by the tool as part of ordinary service operation. That said, we cannot control data handling performed by the user's own browser extensions, device settings, corporate network tools, or similar local environments.
3. Cookies and display preferences
The site may store cookies to remember the selected language and the chosen visual theme (light or dark). These cookies are used to improve the browsing experience and are not intended for ad profiling. If cookies are disabled or deleted in the browser, these preferences may no longer persist between visits.
4. Analytics, ads, and third-party services
FormatArc uses Google Analytics 4 (gtag.js, served via googletagmanager.com) to collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics — page views, basic device/browser information, referrer, and tool-level interaction events such as conversion runs and copies. Input/output text is never sent. To opt out, install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or block the script with a privacy extension. Additional analytics, advertising, or error-tracking services may be introduced in the future; if so, this section will be updated.
5. Retention and security
Access logs or other technical records generated automatically by hosting platforms or CDN providers are managed according to the relevant provider's retention and operational policies. FormatArc will take reasonable measures appropriate to a lightweight utility site to reduce the risk of tampering, misuse, or operational issues.
6. Policy updates and contact
This policy may be revised to reflect product changes, legal requirements, or operational updates. When important changes are made, the content on this page will be updated. For questions about this policy, please contact info@m-naoki-m.com.
