Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 21, 2025

Introduction

Spoold ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website at spoold.com (the "Service").

Our core principle: Your data stays on your device. All processing happens client-side in your browser. We don't store, transmit, or have access to the content you paste into our tools.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many web services, we deliberately minimize data collection:

  • No accounts required: You can use all tools without registration
  • No content storage: JSON, HTML, JWT tokens, or any data you paste is processed entirely in your browser
  • No tracking cookies: We don't use tracking cookies or fingerprinting
  • No personal data: We don't collect names, emails, or other personal information

Information We May Collect

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save:

  • Theme preference (light/dark)
  • Recent tool usage history (stored locally, expires after 90 days)
  • Saved items you explicitly choose to save

This data never leaves your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Analytics (Minimal)

We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand how our tools are used. This includes:

  • Page views and tool usage counts (aggregated, anonymous)
  • Browser type and screen size (for compatibility)
  • Referral source

We do not use this data to identify individual users.

Sharing Feature

When you explicitly choose to share content via a link:

  • Content is encrypted client-side before upload using AES-GCM encryption
  • We cannot read the content as we never have access to the encryption key
  • Shared links expire after a set time period
  • You can set additional protection like passwords or burn-after-read

Third-Party Services

Advertising

We display advertisements to support the free service. Our ad partners may use cookies to serve relevant ads. You can opt out of personalized advertising through:

Hosting

Our website is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard web server logs including IP addresses for security and performance monitoring. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We implement security best practices including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Client-side processing to minimize data exposure
  • Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
  • Sandboxed iframes for HTML preview
  • No server-side storage of user content

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to request access to or delete. However, you have full control over your local data:

  • Clear your browser's local storage to remove all saved preferences and history
  • Use your browser's private/incognito mode for a fresh session
  • Block third-party cookies to prevent ad tracking

Children's Privacy

Our Service is intended for developers and technical professionals. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
