The short version: XML you paste into this site is processed inside your browser and is never sent to us. The site sets no cookies, loads no third-party scripts and has no analytics. This page explains what that means in practice, and the small amount of data that any website hosted on the public web necessarily involves.
What we collect from the editor
Nothing. There is no upload endpoint, no logging of editor contents and no database. When you click Format XML, Minify XML or Validate XML, the browser reads the text from the textarea and runs a JavaScript function that was already delivered with the page. The document you paste is never transmitted, saved or associated with you. Closing the tab discards it, exactly as it would with a local text editor.
Where processing happens
All parsing, formatting, minification and validation run client-side in the browser tab. The site is a set of static files — HTML, one stylesheet, two JavaScript files and an icon. There is no application server and no processing queue behind the page. This is also why the tools keep working offline after the page has loaded once, and why the 2 MB input cap exists: the work is limited by the memory of your own tab.
Hosting and server logs
The site is served by a static hosting provider (currently Cloudflare Pages). Like any web host, it processes standard request metadata in order to deliver pages and protect the service from abuse: the requested URL, the time of the request, an IP address and a user agent string. That data is handled under the provider’s own privacy terms, is not linked to the XML you paste (because that never leaves the browser), and is not used by us to build profiles. We do not maintain our own access logs or analytics store.
Cookies, local storage and third parties
This site sets no cookies. It does not use localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB to remember anything about you or your document. It loads no third-party scripts, no analytics, no advertising networks, no social widgets and no external fonts — the stylesheet uses the fonts already installed on your system. Every asset needed to render the page is served from this domain.
Clipboard access
The Copy result button writes the result to your clipboard, and only after you click it. The site never reads your clipboard. Browser permission prompts around clipboard access, if your browser shows one, are handled by the browser itself rather than by this site.
If you email hello@xmlformatter-9gs.pages.dev, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to attach. That information is used only to reply and to fix what you reported. There is no newsletter and no mailing list, so no address is added to one. Please do not send sensitive XML; a minimal sample that reproduces a problem is enough.
Children
This site is a developer tool and is not directed at children under 13. Because the tools collect no personal information at all, there is no special data category to address beyond the hosting metadata described above.
Changes to this policy
If the site ever adds a feature that changes these facts — for example a download button backed by a server, or optional analytics — this policy will be updated before that feature ships, and the change will be reflected in the visible “last updated” date at the top of the page. The current policy is deliberately short because the site does very little with data.

Frequently asked questions
Is my XML uploaded when I use the formatter?
No. Parsing, formatting, minification and validation all run inside your browser tab. There is no upload endpoint and no copy of the document is stored anywhere.
Do you use cookies or analytics?
No. The site sets no cookies, uses no local storage and loads no analytics, advertising or third-party scripts. All assets are served from this domain.
Does the site work offline?
Once the page and its assets have loaded, the tools keep working without a network connection, because using them makes no requests.
What does the hosting provider see?
Like any web host, the static hosting provider processes ordinary request metadata — requested URL, IP address, user agent, time — to deliver pages and protect the service. It is not linked to the XML you paste, because that never leaves the browser.
