Privacy Policy
ByteKiwi is built with privacy in mind. Learn what data we collect, what we do not collect, and how we handle any information we receive.

Overview
ByteKiwi is a collection of browser-based developer tools. Privacy was a design consideration from the start, not an afterthought. Most of the tools you use on this site never send your data anywhere, because they run entirely in your browser.
This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how it is used. We have written it in plain language because privacy policies that require a law degree to understand are not actually useful.
What we do not collect
We do not collect:
- The data you paste, type, or upload into any tool
- Personal information such as your name, email address, or location
- Account information (ByteKiwi has no accounts)
- Payment information (ByteKiwi is free to use)
- Information about your device or network beyond what a standard web server log contains
Tool input and output is processed locally in your browser. It is not transmitted to our servers, not stored in a database, and not visible to us.
What we may collect
Web server logs
Like any website, our hosting provider may retain standard web server access logs. These typically include the URL requested, a timestamp, your IP address, and your browser's user agent string. We do not control or access these logs for analytics purposes, and they are not used to identify or track individuals.
Analytics
We may introduce analytics in the future to understand which tools are most useful, how the site performs, and where traffic comes from. If we add analytics, we will use a privacy-respecting solution and update this policy accordingly. We will not implement analytics that track you across other websites or build a profile of your browsing habits.
Cookies
ByteKiwi uses a single cookie-like mechanism to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode). This is stored in your browser's localStorage, not a cookie, and it never leaves your device.
We do not set advertising cookies. We do not use tracking pixels. We do not use third-party cookies for analytics at this time.
Advertising
ByteKiwi does not currently display advertising. In the future, we may introduce advertising through Google AdSense or a similar network to help support the site. If we do:
- We will update this policy before enabling any advertising
- Google and other advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites
- You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's ad settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out
Third-party services
ByteKiwi is currently served as a static site with no third-party scripts loaded on tool pages. We do not embed social media widgets, chat tools, or external video players that track users.
If you follow links to external websites, their own privacy policies apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.
Data retention
Because we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to retain or delete. If this changes in the future, we will provide clear information about retention periods and how to request deletion.
Children's privacy
ByteKiwi is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as ByteKiwi grows and adds new features. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
Continued use of ByteKiwi after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
