Introduction
Welcome to Free Online Text Editor, available at freeonlinetexteditor.com .
We respect your privacy and aim to be transparent about the information that may be processed when you access our website, use the editor, submit a contact form, or interact with other website features.
By using this website, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Information We Collect
The information processed through this website depends on how you use it.
Information you provide
When you contact us, we may receive information such as:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The subject of your enquiry
- The message or feedback you submit
- Any other information you voluntarily provide
Technical information
Our website, hosting provider, security tools, or similar services may automatically process limited technical information, including:
- Internet Protocol address
- Browser and device type

- Referring and visited pages
- Approximate access date and time
- Error, performance, and security logs
Text Editor Content and Browser Storage
Your writing stays in your browser
The core editor is designed to save your editor content and document name locally in your browser using browser storage.
You do not need to create an account or submit your writing to us in order to use the core text editor.
Locally saved content may remain available on your device until you clear the editor, clear your browser storage, use private browsing, or remove the website’s stored data through your browser settings.
If you use a separate feature that intentionally submits content—such as a contact form—information entered into that feature may be transmitted for the purpose described at the time of submission.
How We Use Information
Information may be used for purposes such as:
- Operating and maintaining the website
- Providing requested tools and website functionality
- Responding to questions, feedback, and support requests
- Improving website usability, content, and performance
- Diagnosing technical errors
- Preventing spam, misuse, fraud, or security threats
- Meeting applicable legal obligations
- Establishing or protecting legal rights
Third-Party Services
We may rely on third-party providers to support website operations. These may include:
- Website hosting and content delivery services
- Security and spam-prevention providers
- Analytics or performance-monitoring tools
- Email and contact-form delivery services
- Advertising services, if advertising is displayed
- Embedded fonts, scripts, media, or other resources
A third-party provider may process technical or personal information under its own privacy policy. We encourage users to review the privacy information provided by relevant third-party services.
When Information May Be Shared
We do not disclose personal information unnecessarily. However, information may be shared in limited circumstances:
- With service providers supporting hosting, security, communication, analytics, or website operations
- When reasonably necessary to comply with a valid legal request or applicable law
- To investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, or harmful activity
- To protect the rights, safety, and property of users, the website, or others
- As part of a business transfer, restructuring, or change of ownership, subject to appropriate protections
Data Retention
Locally saved editor content is controlled through your browser and may remain on your device until you remove it.
Contact messages and other information submitted directly to us may be kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Respond to the enquiry
- Maintain relevant business records
- Resolve disputes or complaints
- Prevent misuse or security incidents
- Meet applicable legal requirements
Retention periods may vary based on the nature of the information and the purpose for which it was collected.
Data Security
We take reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, no website, transmission method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should avoid entering highly sensitive or confidential information into a browser-based text editor.
Your Privacy Rights and Choices
Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may have rights relating to personal information, including the right to:
- Request access to personal information
- Ask for inaccurate information to be corrected
- Request deletion in certain circumstances
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
- Request a portable copy of certain information
- Submit a complaint to an appropriate privacy authority
These rights are not absolute and may depend on your location, the information involved, and the legal basis for processing.
To make a privacy request, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We may need sufficient information to understand and verify the request.
Children’s Privacy
This website is a general-purpose writing tool and is not directed specifically toward children under 13.
We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13 through the core editor. If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or resources. We do not control the privacy, security, content, or data-handling practices of external websites.
Visiting an external link is subject to that website’s own terms and privacy policy.

The revised version will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage users to review this page periodically.
