Privacy Policy

Util Universe is committed to protecting your privacy while delivering fast, useful browser tools. Our privacy policy explains how we handle information, how we support local browser processing for online tools like the JSON formatter and HTML viewer, and how we keep user data anonymous and secure.

Local browser processing for online tools

Many of our utilities are designed to work directly in your browser. This includes tools for formatting JSON, previewing HTML, counting words, converting text case, and performing calculations. When you use these browser tools, your input stays on your device unless you choose to copy it or download it manually.

Local browser processing helps keep your content private and makes the online tool experience faster, because data does not need to be sent to a remote server to produce results.

Information we collect

Util Universe does not store the text or structured data you enter into the browser-based tools by default. Your JSON payloads, HTML snippets, markdown drafts, and calculator entries remain in the browser session unless you explicitly choose to share, copy, or save them.

We may collect anonymous website analytics and technical information to improve site performance. This includes browser type, operating system, device class, page usage, and general tool usage patterns. We use this information to make our free online tools more reliable, faster, and easier to use.

We do not collect personally identifiable information from your tool input, and we do not sell usage data to third parties. The data is used only to support the privacy-first operation of the site and the quality of our browser utilities.

Cookies and local storage

Util Universe may use cookies or local storage for essential site functionality, session behavior, and user preferences. These cookies and local storage entries are used to keep the website responsive and to remember settings such as theme preferences or recent tool selections.

The cookies and local storage data we use do not contain sensitive personal information. They support navigation and usability for our browser tools rather than tracking your personal behavior across unrelated websites.

How we use analytics

We collect aggregate usage analytics to understand how visitors use the site and which tools are most helpful. Analytics data helps us improve core utilities like the JSON formatter, HTML viewer, word counter, and calculator tools.

This data is anonymized and aggregated, meaning it cannot be traced back to individual users. We use the information to identify broken pages, optimize loading speed, and prioritize enhancements to our free online utility pages.

Third-party services and hosting

We may rely on third-party providers for hosting, analytics, and infrastructure. These providers may collect limited anonymous usage data under their own privacy terms. We choose partners that support privacy-friendly practices and do not use the data for advertising profiling on our behalf.

Third-party services are used to improve the stability and performance of Util Universe, not to capture the content of your tool input or to build a personal profile of visitors.

Security and data protection

We implement reasonable security measures to protect our website and systems. This includes secure hosting infrastructure, encrypted connections, and maintenance practices that reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

However, no website is entirely free from risk. If you use browser tools to format or analyze sensitive information, we recommend doing so in a secure environment and avoiding the entry of passwords, financial account details, or confidential personal data.

Your choices and control

You have control over the data stored in your browser. If you prefer not to use cookies or local storage, you can adjust your browser settings, though some site functionality may be impacted. This may affect how the tool pages remember settings or how quickly your session restores when you revisit the site.

If you provide personal information through our contact or support forms, you may request that it be deleted or updated by contacting us via the Contact Us page.

Children’s privacy

Util Universe is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors using our browser-based tools. Parents and guardians should supervise any minor who accesses the site and ensure that no sensitive personal data is entered into the tools.

Policy updates

We may update this privacy policy as our tools evolve. New tools and features will be reflected here, and we may revise the language to explain how we collect, use, and protect information in a changing online environment.

Please check this page regularly for the latest privacy updates and the most current description of how Util Universe manages privacy for browser tools.
