Privacy Policy & Data Security

1. Introduction

DevSuitcase ("we," "our," or "the Platform") is operated by U. Kalsoom. We are committed to protecting the privacy of developers, students, and engineers who use our tools. This policy outlines how we handle data in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

2. Data Collection & Usage

2.1 Client-Side Tools (No Collection)

For the vast majority of our utilities (Formatters, Converters, Generators, Regex tools):

• Processing happens exclusively in your browser's memory.
• We do not see, collect, or store your JSON/XML payloads, generated UUIDs, or pasted code snippets.
• Once you close the tab, the data is cleared from your browser's memory.

2.2 Server-Side Processing (Transient Memory)

Certain tools, particularly in the Network Category (such as DNS Lookup or IP Geolocation), require communication with external servers to function. In these specific cases:

• Data is processed in Transient Memory (RAM) only for the split-second required to perform the lookup.
• This data is not persisted to a database or storage drive.
• We do not log the specific queries (e.g., which domain you looked up) associated with your IP address.

2.3 Automatically Collected Metadata

Like most websites, our hosting provider and analytics tools collect standard technical metadata to ensure site reliability and security:

• IP Address (Anonymized where possible)
• Browser Type & User Agent
• Referring URL & Timestamp

3. Handling of Sensitive Information

While DevSuitcase employs strict security measures (SSL/HTTPS) and prioritizes client-side processing, the internet is never 100% secure.

User Responsibility: Before submitting data containing Sensitive Information (such as real credit card numbers, health data, private keys, or proprietary code) into any online tool, including ours, you should:

• Obfuscate or redact the sensitive parts of the data.
• Obtain consent from your organization's security officer if applicable.

DevSuitcase shall not be liable for the inadvertent exposure of Sensitive Information uploaded by a user.

4. Cookies & Third-Party Services

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand traffic patterns (e.g., "Which tool is most popular?"). This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google Analytics uses cookies to track session duration and page views.

Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements to support the free maintenance of this project.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

5. Security Measures

We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to prevent the loss, misuse, or alteration of your information:

• SSL (HTTPS): All communications between your browser and DevSuitcase are encrypted via Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS).
• Minimal Retention: We practice "Privacy by Design" by avoiding data storage whenever possible.

6. Cross-Border Data Transfers

Information that DevSuitcase collects (analytics data) may be stored and processed in and transferred between any of the countries in which our service providers (e.g., Google, Hosting Providers) operate. By using the Service, you agree to such cross-border transfers of information.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the GDPR, if you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you (mostly limited to analytics logs).
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Withdraw consent for cookies at any time.

Since we do not store user accounts or save input data, we typically hold no personal data to delete other than anonymized logs.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy by posting a new version on this website. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
