Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Anytime Markdown ("the App") is a browser-based markdown editor. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the App.

2. Information We Collect

The App does not collect or store personal information on our servers. Core editing, preview, and diagram features run locally on your device, and your documents are stored only on your device. However, only for features you explicitly choose to use, the data required to provide that feature is sent to an external service (for example, saving to Google Drive or GitHub, fetching a link preview, or rendering PlantUML). Every destination and the data sent to it are listed in "4. External Services". If you do not use these features, no data leaves your device.

3. Data Storage

Data created within the App is stored locally on your device using browser storage. We do not have access to this data. localStorage holds your working draft, editor settings, view mode, the current file name, and cached link previews; IndexedDB holds handles of local files you open (so they can be reopened); sessionStorage holds your consent state for sending diagrams to the PlantUML server. Clearing browser storage removes all of it. If you sign in, your authentication session is stored in a cookie.

4. External Services

The App may connect to the following external services for specific features:

• Mermaid Diagrams — Mermaid diagram rendering is performed entirely within the browser. No data is sent to external servers.

• PlantUML Server — When rendering PlantUML diagrams, after obtaining user consent, diagram code is sent to an external PlantUML rendering server. No personal information is included in these requests.

• Sign-in (GitHub / Google) — Signing in is required only for cloud integrations. Authentication is handled by each provider via OAuth, and we never receive your password. Your session, including access tokens, is stored encrypted in a browser cookie and is not stored in any database of ours.

• Google Drive — Only when you open a file from Drive or save a file to Drive, the file content and file name are sent to the Google Drive API. The App is granted access only to files you open or create with it (the drive.file scope); it cannot browse the rest of your Drive.

• GitHub — Only when you open a file from GitHub or commit to GitHub, the file content and commit details are sent to the GitHub API through our server. The integration requires repository access (the repo scope), which includes private repositories. You can revoke this access at any time from your GitHub settings.

• Link previews — When you paste a URL and a preview is shown, that URL is sent to our server, which fetches the link's public metadata (title, description, image). Results are cached in your browser for a limited time.

• Web page import — When you import a web page as Markdown, the URL you provide is sent to a fetching server, which retrieves the page's public HTML for conversion. No data is sent unless you run an import.

• Images — Images you paste or drop are embedded in the document itself and are never uploaded to an external server. If a document references an external image URL, your browser requests that image directly from its host.

5. Analytics and Tracking

The App may use Google Analytics, as configured by the operator, to collect anonymous usage data such as page views and session duration. This data is used solely to improve the App and is not used for advertising or sold to third parties. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

The App does not use tracking pixels or advertising SDKs.

6. Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect information from children under 13. The App is a general-purpose text editor suitable for all ages.

7. Changes to This Policy

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