Last updated: January 2024

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

πŸ”’ DevLixr is built with privacy as a core principle.

Unlike many online tools, DevLixr processes everything locally in your browser. Your files, data, and information never reach our servers. This isn't just a promiseβ€”it's how our technology works.

What We DON'T Collect

βœ—
Personal Information:

We don't collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information.

βœ—
Your Files & Data:

Files you upload, text you paste, or data you process never leaves your browser. We literally cannot see what you're working on.

βœ—
Account Information:

We don't require accounts, so we don't store usernames, passwords, or authentication tokens.

βœ—
Usage History:

We don't track which tools you use or how often you visit.
