Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Vim Browser Editor ("we", "us", or "the Service") collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use the Service. By using Vim Browser Editor, you agree to the practices described below.

Information We Collect

• Account information. If you choose to sign in, our authentication provider processes your email address and basic profile details so we can create and manage your account.
• Documents you save to the cloud. When you are signed in and save a document, its contents and file name are stored securely in the cloud on your behalf so you can access them later.
• Usage and device data. Like most websites, we and our providers may automatically collect technical information such as browser type, device information, and general usage analytics.

The text editor itself works without an account. Files you open or edit locally remain in your browser and are never uploaded unless you choose to save them to the cloud.

Cookies and Advertising

We display advertising to signed-out visitors through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.

For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, we display a consent banner before serving personalized advertising. You can grant or refuse consent, and change your choice at any time. Where consent is refused, ads may be limited to non-personalized advertising or withheld.

For visitors in California and other applicable U.S. states, we provide a privacy notice that lets you opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for personalized advertising. Exercising this choice does not prevent you from using the Service.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this Service and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

For more information about how Google uses data when you use our Service, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

How We Use Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• To authenticate you and store documents you choose to save.
• To display and measure advertising for signed-out users.
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us operate the Service, such as Google Firebase (authentication and storage) and Google AdSense (advertising), and only as needed to provide their services.

Your Choices

• You can use the editor without creating an account.
• You can delete documents you have saved to the cloud.
• You can manage ad personalization through the links above.
• You can control cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function correctly if cookies are disabled.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
