Privacy policy

Last updated: September 24, 2026

DB Inspector (db-inspector.hfps.dev) is a free, open-source tool for inspecting SQLite database files. It is developed and maintained by Henrique Silva (hfps.dev). This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the site. The short version: your files never leave your device, and we don't collect anything about you.

Your database files

When you open a file, your browser reads it in place, inside the page, using SQLite compiled to WebAssembly. The file and its contents are not uploaded, not sent to any server, and not stored by us. Databases are opened read-only and your file is never modified. When you close or reload the tab, the file is no longer accessible to the page.

The site's Content Security Policy only allows the page to load its own files from db-inspector.hfps.dev and forbids connections to any other site. This is enforced by your browser, not just promised by us.

What we don't collect

• No analytics, telemetry or usage statistics.
• No cookies and no tracking pixels.
• No accounts, sign-ups or email addresses.
• No advertising and no third-party scripts. Fonts and all other assets are served from this site.

What stays in your browser

To make the tool convenient, a few things are saved in your browser's local storage, on your device only:

• Query presets you save or import.
• The history of queries you ran (the SQL text, not the results).
• Preferences such as theme and page size.

We can't see this information. You can remove it at any time by deleting presets and history in the inspector, or by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

Hosting

The site is a set of static files hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical data needed to deliver the pages and protect the service, such as your IP address, browser user agent and the address of the file requested. This processing is done by Cloudflare under its own privacy policy. We don't use it to identify visitors, and your database files are never part of these requests.

The demo database

The demo database contains only fictional data, generated for demonstration purposes.

The app plugin

The same inspector is available as an open-source plugin for mobile apps. The plugin runs entirely inside the app that includes it, reads only that app's own local databases, and sends nothing over the network. How an app uses the plugin is up to that app's developer.

Changes

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