Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 13, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information FreeHTMLEditor.net (“we,” “our,” “the Site”) collects when you use our free online HTML editor and related tools, and how that information is used.

1. What We Collect

FreeHTMLEditor.net is designed to work without an account. Here’s what happens to your data:

  • Your code: Files you create in the editor are stored locally in your browser’s localStorage. We do not receive, store, or have access to the HTML, CSS, or JavaScript you write unless a future account/cloud-sync feature is explicitly enabled and you opt in.
  • Usage analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregate traffic — pages visited, approximate location (country/city level), device type, and referral source. This data is not tied to your code or any personal account.
  • Cookies: Used for analytics and, where applicable, advertising (see Section 3). You can disable cookies in your browser at any time; core editor functionality will continue to work.
  • Contact form / email: If you email us or use a contact form, we collect whatever information you choose to include (e.g., your email address and message) solely to respond to you.

2. How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its tools
  • To understand aggregate usage patterns and identify popular tools or reference pages
  • To respond to support requests or feedback
  • To serve relevant advertising (see Section 3)

3. Advertising & Third-Party Services

FreeHTMLEditor.net may display advertising through Google AdSense and/or similar ad networks to keep the core editor and tools free. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

  • You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.
  • The Site loads third-party code from content delivery networks (e.g., for fonts and the CodeMirror code editor) which may log standard request data such as IP address, independent of this Site.
  • We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

If you are located in the EU/EEA, UK, or California, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data we hold about you, and to opt out of certain data processing. Since the Site does not require an account and stores your code only in your own browser, most personal data we hold is limited to analytics and any information you send us directly (e.g., via the contact page).

To exercise these rights, contact us at our contact page.

5. Children’s Privacy

FreeHTMLEditor.net is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

6. Data Retention

Code you write is retained only in your own browser’s local storage until you clear it, clear your browser data, or use a different browser/device. Analytics data is retained per our analytics provider’s standard retention settings.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above.
