What users should expect
A route that processes data locally should state that clearly in the UI, not hide it in a generic legal page.
Security and privacy
Developers often paste tokens, payloads, configs and draft API specs into utility tools. This page explains how DevKnightUtils approaches those workflows and what users should verify before using a route with sensitive data.
Local-first principle
The preferred model is to keep processing in the browser whenever a tool can reasonably do so. That reduces exposure when developers are working with internal payloads, auth material or draft documents.
What users should still avoid
Even with local processing, avoid sharing production credentials casually. Local-first is safer, not a substitute for judgment.
Why this matters for trust
Clear privacy notes make utility pages more credible to both users and reviewers because the site explains its handling model in the context of the task.
Where legal detail lives
Formal handling disclosures remain in the privacy and cookie policies, while task-specific privacy notes live on each tool page.
