📋 Introduction
Markdown Compiler ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Markdown editor application.
We believe in transparency and simplicity — including when it comes to privacy.
🔒 Data Collection
We do NOT collect any personal data. This application is designed with privacy-first principles:
- No analytics or tracking scripts
- No cookies or session tracking
- No third-party data collection
- No account registration required
- No data sent to external servers (except when loading external libraries)
💾 Local Storage
We store the following data locally on your device using your browser's localStorage:
- Markdown content — Your document text is saved locally for auto-save functionality
- Theme preference — Your chosen light/dark mode preference
- Font size — Your preferred editor font size
- View settings — Your preferred layout configuration
This data stays on YOUR device and is never transmitted to our servers.
🌐 External Libraries
When loaded, the application may use the following external libraries from CDNs:
- Marked.js — For Markdown parsing (optional, local fallback available)
- Highlight.js — For code syntax highlighting (optional, local fallback available)
- Google Fonts — For typography (Inter, JetBrains Mono, Georgia)
These libraries are loaded from their respective CDN servers and are subject to their own privacy policies. They are optional and the application works fully without them.
📱 PWA (Progressive Web App)
If you install this application as a PWA:
- Data is cached locally for offline functionality
- No additional data is collected
- No push notifications are sent (future features may offer opt-in notifications)
🔐 Data Security
Since all data is stored locally on your device:
- You control your data
- Clearing browser data will remove saved content
- We cannot access your documents
- No security breaches on our end can affect your data
👶 Children's Privacy
This application does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect any data at all, this is not a concern.
🔄 Changes to This Policy
If we make any changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, if significant, notify users within the application.
Our commitment to your privacy remains constant: no data collection, no tracking, no cookies.
