Privacy Policy

plato·yaml is operated by Plato. This site is a single-purpose web utility for YAML formatting and validation. It does not require an account, does not transmit your YAML to any server, and stores nothing beyond what your browser keeps locally.

What we collect

• YAML you paste into the tool — stays 100% in your browser. All parsing and formatting runs in JavaScript locally. Verify by opening DevTools → Network — no requests are made when you use the tool.
• Anonymous analytics — we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and understand which features are useful. Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies and does not link analytics to any personal identifier.
• Advertising — once this site is approved for Google AdSense, ad code from Google’s advertising network will be loaded. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads. You can opt out at Google Ads Settings.

What we do NOT collect

• Your name, email, address, or phone number — we don’t ask
• The YAML or configuration data you enter — never transmitted
• Account information — there are no accounts
• Payment information — the tool is free

Third-party services

• Cloudflare Pages — for hosting. Cloudflare may log basic request metadata (IP, user agent, timestamp) per their privacy policy.
• Cloudflare Web Analytics — for traffic analytics. Cookie-free. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
• Google AdSense (once approved) — for ads. See Google Ads policies.

Cookies

The tool itself does not set cookies. Google AdSense (when active) sets cookies via Google’s domain. You can block or clear these via your browser settings without affecting the tool’s functionality.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Data subject rights (GDPR, CCPA)

Since we do not collect personal information beyond anonymous analytics, in most cases there is nothing to disclose, correct, or delete. Contact us if you have a specific request.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top.
