Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how htmlcsseditor.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and discloses information about you when you use our website, online code editor, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our Service. The types of information we collect fall into three main categories:

1.1 Code and Content Data (User Input)

This is the code, text, or content you input into our HTML, CSS, and JavaScript editors.

  • Temporary Data: The code you type is processed live in your browser to generate the preview. This data is generally not transmitted to our servers for execution or storage, except as required for certain functions (e.g., Code Formatter).
  • Saved Sessions: If we implement a user account or “Save Session” feature (as noted in the toolbar), we collect and store the code you explicitly choose to save, along with your associated User ID or account information.

Your Code is Your Property: We do not claim ownership of the code or content you create using our Service.

1.2 Personal Information (If Provided)

  • Account Data: If you create an account (e.g., via WordPress integration) to save sessions, we collect necessary information such as your name, email address, and a hashed password (or token).
  • Correspondence: Information you provide when you contact us for support or feedback.

1.3 Usage and Tracking Data

We automatically collect certain information about how you access and use the Service.

  • Log Data: This may include your device’s Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and time spent on those pages.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like Google Analytics) to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for various purposes:

  • To Provide the Service: To operate and maintain our code editor and tools (running your code, formatting, minifying).
  • To Improve and Personalize: To monitor usage, identify bugs, and analyze features to enhance the Service (e.g., identifying which tools are most popular).
  • To Communicate: To respond to your inquiries, send you technical notices, updates, or alerts (if you opt-in).
  • Security: To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or security breaches.

3. Storage and Security of Code

We take the security of your data seriously.

  • In-Browser Execution: Most code execution and preview generation happens locally on your device, minimizing data transmission.
  • Data Protection: For code sessions explicitly saved to our servers, we use reasonable security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information and stored code.
  • Disclaimer: However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

4. Disclosure and Sharing of Data

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information or proprietary code to outside parties. We may share information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service (e.g., hosting providers, analytics platforms). These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
  • Business Transfers: If htmlcsseditor.com is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your Personal Data may be transferred.

5. Third-Party Links and WordPress Platform

Our Service is built on the WordPress platform and may contain links to other sites (such as external documentation or partner tool pages) that are not operated by us. Additionally, if you use third-party WordPress plugins on our site, your data handling is also subject to their respective privacy policies. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site or service you visit.

6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA)

Our Service is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 (“Children”). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
