Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Overview

DevTools Installer is a desktop application for Windows that automates the installation and configuration of developer tools. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the application and this website handle.

Desktop Application

  • Runs entirely on your local machine — no cloud backend.
  • No personal data is collected, stored, or transmitted.
  • Internet access is used solely to download tool binaries from official sources.
  • No analytics, tracking, or telemetry is included.
  • System modifications are limited to installing tools in their default directories and updating PATH / environment variables.

Website

  • This website is a static site hosted on Firebase.
  • This website uses cookies for advertising purposes via Google AdSense (see the "Advertising & Cookies" section below for full details).
  • Google Fonts are loaded from Google's CDN; Google's own privacy policy applies to that request.

Advertising & Cookies

This website uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Specifically:

  • Google uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your visits to this website and other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies to serve ads on this site. You can opt out of some third-party vendor cookies at Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
  • We do not collect or share personal information beyond what is automatically processed by Google AdSense.

Third Parties

Tool binaries are downloaded from their respective publishers (Oracle, Node.js Foundation, Python Software Foundation, Git for Windows, etc.). Each publisher's own privacy policy applies to those downloads.

Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have certain data protection rights. Because the DevTools Installer desktop application does not collect any personal data, these rights primarily apply to the cookies set by Google AdSense on this website:

  • Right to opt out: You may opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings or the NAI opt-out page.
  • Cookie management: You can configure your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling cookies may affect the display of advertisements on this site.
  • Data access & deletion: Since we do not collect personal data ourselves, there is no personal data stored on our servers to access or delete. For data held by Google through AdSense, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy.

Children's Privacy

This website and the DevTools Installer application are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
