verified_user Our Commitment to Privacy

Utility Deck is designed with a privacy-first philosophy. This means that the majority of operations occur entirely within your browser, without sending sensitive data to external servers. This document explains exactly what data is processed, where it goes, and how you remain in control.

✓ Key Principles:

  • • Zero password or file uploads to our servers
  • • No cookies, tracking pixels, or behavioral analytics
  • • Client-side cryptographic processing
  • • Transparent about third-party API usage

description How Each Feature Handles Your Data

lock 1. Secure Password Generator

What it does: Generates cryptographically secure passwords using your browser's built-in Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()).

Privacy guarantee:

  • Passwords are generated locally in your browser
  • No passwords are ever transmitted over the network
  • No passwords are stored on our servers or in browser storage
  • Bulk password downloads create local .txt files only
  • Password settings (length, character types) remain in memory only

💡 Tip: Downloaded password files are saved directly to your device. Delete them after use if not needed.

public 2. Network Intelligence

What it does: Detects your IPv4/IPv6 addresses, ISP information, and approximate geographic location.

Third-party services used:

  • IP Detection: ipify.org, icanhazip.com, seeip.org
  • Geolocation: ipapi.co, ipwho.is

Important notes:

  • Requests are made directly from your browser to these public APIs
  • These services may log your IP address according to their own privacy policies
  • We do not receive, store, or process this information on our servers
  • Data is displayed in your browser only and not retained

⚠️ Note: These are legitimate public IP lookup services. Your IP address is already visible to websites you visit.

folder_open 3. File Metadata Viewer

What it does: Calculates SHA-256 hash and displays metadata for files you select.

Privacy guarantee:

  • Files never leave your device — all processing is local
  • SHA-256 hash calculation uses browser's Web Crypto API
  • File contents are read in-memory and immediately discarded
  • No file data is transmitted over the network
  • Exported reports are generated and saved locally

🔒 Security: Perfect for verifying file integrity without uploading to unknown servers.

dns 4. DNS over HTTPS Testing

What it does: Tests connectivity and latency to various DNS-over-HTTPS providers.

Privacy notes:

  • Latency measurements are performed from your browser
  • No personally identifiable information is transmitted
  • Results are displayed locally and not stored

block What We Don't Collect

  • ✗ No passwords — Generated passwords never touch our servers
  • ✗ No file uploads — Files are processed entirely locally
  • ✗ No cookies — We don't use cookies or local storage for tracking
  • ✗ No analytics — No Google Analytics, no visitor tracking, no heatmaps
  • ✗ No account system — No registration, login, or user profiles
  • ✗ No email collection — We don't ask for or store email addresses

cloud Hosting & Infrastructure

Utility Deck is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, a static site hosting platform. This means:

  • Only static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files are served
  • No backend server or database exists to store user data
  • Cloudflare may collect anonymized analytics (page views, bandwidth) as part of their CDN service
  • Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to their infrastructure: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

storage Browser Storage

Utility Deck does not use:

  • Cookies
  • Local Storage
  • Session Storage
  • IndexedDB

Your browser settings (e.g., dark mode preference) may be stored by the browser itself, but we do not access or manipulate this data.

  • Complete Control: All data processing happens on your device
  • No Account Needed: Use all features without registration
  • Transparency: View source code to verify privacy claims
  • Right to Disconnect: Stop using Network Intelligence if you prefer not to query third-party APIs
