Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 2026
The Local-First Guarantee: AltRepo developer tools run entirely locally in your web browser. We do not upload, store, transmit, or harvest any of the code, images, files, or text you input into our tools. Your data belongs to you and never touches our servers.
Welcome to AltRepo. We believe in providing lightning-fast developer tools while prioritizing your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you visit our website (the "Site") and use our tools (the "Services").
1. Information You Provide Inside the Tools
Our developer tools (such as JSON formatters, contrast checkers, etc.) are built with a "local-first" architecture. This means:
- All data processing happens locally on your device via JavaScript.
- We do not collect, read, or store the content you input into the tools.
- If a tool requires saving a file, it is saved directly to your local hard drive.
2. Website Analytics and Cookies
While the tools themselves do not collect your data, the AltRepo website wrapper uses standard web technologies to measure traffic and support the project. We use Google Analytics (GA4) and Google advertising services.
Google Consent Mode v2
We respect your privacy choices and comply with data protection regulations (such as GDPR) using Google Consent Mode v2. When you first visit AltRepo, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to manage your preferences:
- If you Accept: We store cookies to analyze site traffic, understand how users navigate the site, and serve personalized ads. In this case, standard analytics data and advertising signals (like
ad_user_dataandad_personalization) are sent to Google. - If you Reject: No analytics or advertising cookies are stored on your device. We use cookieless, anonymized "pings" sent to Google strictly for basic, aggregated traffic modeling without identifying you personally.
Managing Your Consent
You can change your cookie and tracking preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookie settings" link located in the footer of every page.
3. Contact Information
If you email us (for example, to report a bug or request a tool), we will collect your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and improve our Services. We will never sell your email address or use it for marketing without your consent.
4. Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., YouTube, GitHub, Patreon). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing them with any personal information.
5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last Updated" date at the top of the page. Your continued use of the Site and Services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
