Privacy Policy

plato·regex is operated by Plato. This site is a single-purpose web utility for testing JavaScript regular expressions. It does not require an account, does not transmit your inputs to any server, and stores nothing beyond what your browser keeps locally.

What we collect

• Regex patterns and test strings you enter — stay 100% in your browser. All matching runs in JavaScript locally using the native RegExp engine. Verify by opening DevTools → Network — no requests are made when you type or click.
• Anonymous analytics — we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and understand which features are useful. This is zone-level, aggregated, and contains no user input. We do 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 regex patterns or test strings you type — 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 — zone-level traffic analytics. No cookies set. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.
• Google AdSense (once approved) — for ads. See Google Ads policies.

Cookies

The tool itself does not set cookies. 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. Substantive changes will be noted on the homepage.
