Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 24, 2024
Introduction
Welcome to JSONVibe. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our free fake REST API service.
What JSONVibe Does
JSONVibe provides free, read-only fake REST APIs for developers to use in testing and development. We generate realistic sample data for various use cases including e-commerce, blogs, social media, and more. Our service:
- Does not require user registration or authentication
- Provides publicly accessible API endpoints
- Returns pre-generated fake data for testing purposes
- Does not store or process any user-submitted data
Information We Collect
1. No Personal Information
JSONVibe does not collect, store, or process any personal information. We do not require:
- User accounts or registration
- Email addresses
- Names or contact information
- Payment information (our service is completely free)
2. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how our service is used. Google Analytics collects:
- Anonymous usage data: Page views, session duration, bounce rate
- Technical information: Browser type, device type, screen resolution, operating system
- Geographic data: Country and city (approximate location)
- Referral sources: How users found our site
Google Analytics uses cookies to track this information. You can learn more about how Google uses data at: Google's Privacy Policy
3. Server Logs
Our servers automatically record standard technical information including:
- IP addresses (for security and abuse prevention)
- API endpoint accessed
- Request timestamp
- HTTP response status
This data is retained temporarily for system monitoring and security purposes only.
How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Improve our service: Understand which APIs are most popular and how we can enhance them
- Monitor performance: Ensure our APIs are fast and reliable
- Prevent abuse: Detect and prevent malicious usage or excessive requests
- Generate statistics: Create anonymized usage reports
Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties, except:
- Google Analytics: As described above, for anonymous analytics purposes
- Legal Requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights
Cookies
JSONVibe uses minimal cookies:
- Google Analytics cookies: To track anonymous usage statistics
- No authentication cookies: We don't have user accounts, so no login cookies
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect Google Analytics tracking. It will not affect your ability to use our APIs.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect the limited data we collect. However, please note:
- No internet transmission is 100% secure
- Our APIs return publicly available fake data - never put sensitive information in API requests
- We do not store or log API request bodies
Children's Privacy
JSONVibe does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Our service is designed for developers and does not require any personal information from users of any age.
Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal information, there is no personal data to access, modify, or delete. If you're concerned about Google Analytics tracking, you can:
- Use browser settings to block cookies
- Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Use private/incognito browsing mode
Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g., documentation, GitHub). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites. Please review their privacy policies.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of JSONVibe after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
