Kits
Local-First Privacy

Privacy Policy

Kits is designed for developers who value technical credibility, precision, and privacy. Our approach is simple: what happens on your machine, stays on your machine — the tools themselves never upload your data. With your consent, we also run analytics; see Cookies & third parties below for exactly what that means.

Local Execution

Most tools run entirely within your browser and carry the green LOCAL badge. Computations, formatting, and conversions happen locally on your device's CPU.

No Data Uploaded

Local tools never upload your source code, JSON, SQL, or any sensitive payloads to external servers. Your intellectual property remains securely on your machine.

No Account Required

You can use Kits without registering, logging in, or providing any personal information. We believe fundamental developer tools should be friction-free and anonymous by default.

Clearly-Labeled Network Tools

A small number of tools — such as DNS Lookup and the API Request Tester — need the network to do their job. Those tools carry a grey network badge and clearly disclose their destination before anything runs: exactly what is sent, and to which endpoint. Nothing is transmitted until you explicitly run the tool.

Browser-Local Storage

To improve your workflow, Kits stores a small amount of data in your browser — only your favourites, recently used tools, and preferences:

  • localStorage // favourites, recents, and UI preferences

Tool inputs and outputs are not persisted. This data is isolated to your specific browser profile — Kits has no server-side visibility into it — and you can clear it at any time using your browser's site-data controls.

Cookies & Third Parties

Kits uses Google Analytics. It sets cookies and is a third-party service outside our control — but it does not run, and no non-essential cookie is set, until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. If you click "Reject", or never respond, it does not load, and the site remains fully functional either way. You can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer. Kits also carries Google AdSense advertising, which sets its own cookies; for readers in the UK and the EEA that is governed by Google's own consent message.

  • Essential — a single localStorage entry (kits-consent) recording your accept/reject choice. No cookie, and nothing sent to us or anyone else.
  • Analytics — Google Analytics 4, loaded only after consent. It sets cookies and reports usage patterns (pages viewed, approximate location, device/browser type) to Google. See Google's privacy policy.
  • Advertising — Google AdSense. It sets cookies and reads device signals to select and measure ads and to detect invalid traffic. Readers in the UK and the EEA are asked first through Google's own consent message. See Google's policy for partner sites.

None of this ever includes your tool inputs or outputs — analytics is unrelated to, and cannot see, what you type into a tool.
