Privacy Policy

JSON Loupe · last updated 14 July 2026

The short version

JSON Loupe collects nothing. It has no network access, no analytics, no telemetry, no accounts, and no third-party SDKs. Everything it does happens locally on your Mac.

What the app does with your files

JSON Loupe reads the file you preview or open, renders it on screen, and forgets it. Files are read only — the app never modifies, copies, uploads, or transmits them. Nothing is stored outside the file's own location, and no copies are kept after the preview closes.

Data collection

• Personal data: none collected.
• Usage data and analytics: none collected.
• Crash reports: none collected by us. If you have opted in to sharing diagnostics with Apple in macOS, Apple may share anonymised crash reports with developers under Apple's own privacy policy.
• Identifiers, advertising, tracking: none. The app does not track you across apps or websites.

Network access

The app makes no network requests of its own. The only exception is a deliberate action you take: if you click a link inside a JSON file, or choose “Open URL”, macOS opens that address in your default browser. JSON Loupe only ever passes http and https addresses to the system.

Local preferences

The app stores a single preference on your Mac — the view mode you last used (Pretty, Tree, Compact or Raw). It never leaves your device.

Children

JSON Loupe is a developer tool suitable for all ages. It collects no data from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy ever changes, the updated version will be published on this page with a new date.
