Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

Columnbus.site ("the Site") is a free, browser-based utility tool that converts pasted column data into comma-separated values for use in SQL queries and other programming workflows. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use the Site.

1. Information We Collect

Columnbus.site does not collect, store, or retain personal data entered into the tool.

  • All data you paste or generate is processed entirely within your browser
  • No user-input data is transmitted to, stored on, or logged by our servers
  • No data is cached, saved, or retained after you leave or refresh the page

2. How the Tool Works

  • The conversion script runs client-side (front-end only)
  • Data exists only temporarily in your browser's memory
  • Once the page is closed or refreshed, all data is discarded

3. Analytics & Infrastructure (Cloudflare)

The Site is delivered and secured using Cloudflare, Inc., which also provides Cloudflare Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service.

Cloudflare Analytics may process limited technical information such as:

  • IP addresses (used for security, routing, and abuse prevention)
  • Request headers
  • Approximate geographic location (country or region)
  • Browser and device type
  • Pages requested and response codes

Cloudflare Analytics does not use tracking cookies. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized, is not used for advertising or behavioral profiling, and is not sold. Cloudflare acts as a data processor on behalf of the Site in accordance with its own privacy policy.

4. Cookies

Columnbus.site does not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, or user profiling. Cloudflare may use cookies strictly necessary for security and performance purposes, such as bot detection or abuse prevention.

5. Third-Party Services

Aside from Cloudflare's infrastructure and analytics services, the Site does not integrate with third-party tools that collect personal data. Any external links are governed by their own privacy policies.

6. Data Security

Because no user-input data is collected or stored, there is no retained personal data at risk. All processing occurs locally in your browser, and Cloudflare provides network-level security and protection.

7. Children's Information

Columnbus.site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

8. "As Is" Usage

The Site is provided "as is", free to use, and may change over time as part of ongoing iterative development. No guarantees are made regarding availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
