Who we are

Prettyparse (getprettyparse.com) provides free, browser-based developer tools such as our JSON Formatter. JSON you paste into the tool is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded to our servers for formatting or validation.

Questions about privacy: [email protected] or use our Contact page.

What data we process

• Tool content: JSON and text you enter stay in your browser for processing. We do not receive your payloads for the core formatting features.
• Consent preference: stored in localStorage on your device so we remember Accept / Reject / custom choices.
• Advertising / analytics (optional): only if you grant consent — see below.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a cookie consent banner so you can Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, or Manage Preferences. Non-essential advertising scripts do not load until you consent. You can reopen settings anytime via Cookie settings.

Essential

Required to store your consent choice and operate basic site security / functionality.

Advertising (Google AdSense) — when consented

This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. In particular, Google may use the DoubleClick cookie and related advertising technologies to serve and measure ads, including personalized advertising where allowed.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Learn more in How Google uses cookies in advertising and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Analytics (optional)

If enabled in preferences and implemented on the site, analytics cookies help us understand aggregate usage. They remain off unless you opt in.

Google Consent Mode

We implement Google Consent Mode so advertising and measurement tags default to denied storage until you grant the relevant consent. When you Accept All or enable Advertising in preferences, we update consent signals (for example ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) accordingly.

Legal bases (EEA / UK)

Where GDPR applies: essential processing is based on legitimate interest / necessity to provide the service you request; non-essential cookies and personalized ads rely on your consent, which you may withdraw at any time via Cookie settings without affecting the core JSON tool.

Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to certain processing, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise rights related to data we control. For Google’s processing, use Google’s tools and policies linked above.

Children

Prettyparse is not directed at children under 16 (or the applicable age of digital consent). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after updates means you should review this page periodically.
