Privacy as a Right
Your data stays on your device โ by design, not policy.
Most of GoWin runs on your device
When you use the BMI calculator, your height and weight don't go anywhere. When you format a JSON blob, the JSON doesn't get uploaded. When you generate a password, the password is created in your browser and never leaves it.
This isn't a privacy policy. It's a technical fact about how the tools are built. They run on your device, in your browser, using your CPU. We don't have your data, because it never reached us in the first place.
Why we built it that way
Two reasons.
The first is practical: client-side tools are faster. There's no round-trip to a server, no waiting on a network request. You type, the answer appears.
The second is principled: a calculator shouldn't need to phone home. If the work can be done locally, it should be. That's the version of the web we'd like to keep alive โ small, fast, and respectful of the person on the other end.
What we do collect
We use Google Analytics for aggregate page views, so we know which tools are popular and where to spend our time. That's it. We don't have user accounts, so there's no profile to attach activity to. We don't fingerprint your browser or sell anything to ad networks.
Your inputs to the tools โ the numbers, the text, the files โ are not part of that. Those stay on your device.
The default we want
Privacy shouldn't be a premium feature. It shouldn't be something you have to opt into, configure, or pay extra for. It should be the default โ what happens when you open a small utility tool and start using it.
That's what we mean by "privacy as a right." Not a policy buried in a footer. The starting point.
