🔒 Transparency & Privacy

How we protect your data with 100% local processing

Our Commitment

Linterman analyzes your Postman collections 100% locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your collection data never leaves your device.

How to Verify (2 minutes)

1 Open Browser DevTools

  • Chrome/Edge: Press F12 or Cmd+Option+I (Mac)
  • Firefox: Press F12 or Cmd+Option+K (Mac)

2 Go to Network Tab

Click on the "Network" tab and filter by "Fetch/XHR" to see only API requests

3 Clear Network Log

Click the "Clear" button (🚫) to remove previous requests

4 Analyze a Collection

Observe: No Collection Upload

You'll see NO requests containing your collection JSON during analysis. Only static assets (CSS, JS, WASM) are loaded.

What is NEVER Stored

  • Collection JSON content
  • Request/response data
  • API keys, tokens, secrets
