Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. Here's exactly what we do and don't collect.

TL;DR - Complete Privacy

  • ✅ Zero data collection - We collect nothing
  • ✅ No server storage - Your code never touches our servers
  • ✅ No tracking - No analytics, cookies, or user tracking
  • ✅ Client-side only - Everything happens in your browser
  • ✅ No accounts - No registration, no personal information

How It Works

Tiny Code Share uses a unique approach called "URL fragment storage" to ensure complete privacy:

  1. Processed client-side: When you paste code, it's processed entirely client-side using JavaScript.
  2. Compressed and encoded: Your code is compressed using LZ-String and encoded into the URL's fragment (the part after the # symbol).
  3. Shared via URL: The shareable link contains your code in the URL fragment, which never gets sent to any server.
  4. Decoded in recipient's browser: When someone opens your link, their browser decodes the code from the URL fragment.

Technical Details

URL Fragments

URL fragments (everything after #) are never sent to web servers. This is a fundamental property of how browsers work, ensuring your code remains completely private.

No Server Processing

Our application is a static website with no backend processing. There are no databases, no server logs, and no data processing on our end.

Open Source Transparency

Our entire codebase is open source and available on GitHub. You can verify exactly how the application works and confirm our privacy claims.

Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services, all of which respect privacy:

  • Never sent to servers: URL fragments aren't transmitted to web servers during normal HTTP requests, so your code doesn't leave your device.
  • Vercel (Hosting): Static file hosting with no server-side processing. Standard web server logs may apply.
  • Google Fonts: Font delivery service. No personal data is shared.

Your Rights

Since we collect no data about you:

  • There's no data to access, modify, or delete
  • There are no accounts to manage
  • There's no personal information to port
  • There are no privacy settings to configure

Security

While we don't store your code, we recommend being cautious when sharing sensitive information:

  • Don't share API keys, passwords, or secrets
  • Be mindful of proprietary code
  • Consider the audience who will have access to your shared link
  • Remember that URLs can be logged by browsers, proxies, or other services
