Summary

  • What you type or paste into a tool is processed in your browser and is not sent to our servers.
  • We use Google Analytics to measure which pages are visited. It can set cookies.
  • There are no accounts, and we do not ask for personal details.

Tool input

The tools on this site are JavaScript that runs on your device. Text, files, tokens, keys and passwords you give to a tool are used to compute the result in the page and are not uploaded to sde.tools. We have no server-side component that receives tool input.

Two tools involve something beyond the page itself:

  • The ASCII text drawer downloads the font file you select from unpkg.com, a public package CDN. That request reveals your IP address and the chosen font to the CDN, but not your text.
  • The camera recorder asks your browser for camera and microphone access. Pictures and recordings stay in the page until you download or discard them.

Analytics

Every page loads Google Tag Manager, which loads Google Analytics 4. Google Analytics records visits and interactions such as page views, scrolling and clicks on outbound links, along with technical details like browser, device type, referring page and approximate location derived from your IP address. It may set cookies to distinguish visitors. This data is processed by Google under its own privacy policy.

Analytics does not receive what you enter into a tool. A small number of tools keep a setting in the page address so that a link can be shared (for example, the regex tester stores the pattern in a ?regex= parameter); page addresses are included in analytics page views, so avoid putting secrets in a tool that does this.

You can block analytics with a content blocker or Google's opt-out browser add-on; the tools work the same without it.

Data stored in your browser

The site uses your browser's local storage to remember your theme, your favourite and recently used tools, and some tool settings between visits. This stays on your device, is not sent to us, and can be removed by clearing site data in your browser.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare. As with any website, Cloudflare processes the technical data needed to deliver pages, such as your IP address and browser user agent, and may keep short-lived logs for security and reliability.

Changes and contact

If what the site collects changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change. Questions can be sent through the contact page.
