Privacy Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
At Base64Decoder.org, privacy is a fundamental architectural design choice, not just a policy. Because our platform provides developer tools that are often used to inspect sensitive tokens and infrastructure configurations, we have engineered our systems to minimize data collection.
1. Client-Side Processing Guarantee
The core functionality of this website—specifically the Base64 Decoder and Base64 Encoder tools—operates entirely on the client side (within your web browser).
- When you paste a string into our tools, it is processed locally using your device's CPU.
- Your input data is never transmitted to our servers.
- Your output data is never transmitted to our servers.
- We do not log, monitor, or store the content you encode or decode.
2. Information We Collect
While we do not collect the data you process in our tools, we do collect standard web server logs necessary for operating the website. This includes:
- IP addresses (temporarily logged by our CDN for DDoS protection and routing).
- Browser user agents.
- Referring URLs.
- Timestamps of page requests.
3. Analytics and Cookies
We use standard, privacy-focused analytics software to understand aggregated traffic patterns (e.g., which blog articles are most popular). This system may place a basic, anonymous cookie in your browser to distinguish unique sessions. We do not use invasive tracking pixels, and we do not sell analytics data to third-party advertising networks.
4. Third-Party Services
Our website is hosted on modern cloud infrastructure (such as Cloudflare Pages or similar static hosting providers). These providers act as data processors and maintain their own strict security compliance protocols regarding the routing of HTTP requests.
5. Data Retention
Because we do not collect your input strings or personal information (unless you explicitly email us for support), there is no user data for us to retain or delete. Server access logs are typically rotated and purged automatically within 30 days.
