View Page Source Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 9, 2025

Welcome to View Page Source! This Privacy Policy outlines how the View Page Source website (referred to as "View Page Source," "the Website," "the Service," "we," "our," or "us") handles your information when you use our online service to view the HTML source code of web pages. We, the developers of View Page Source (the "Developers"), are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how it's used, and the choices you have.

Information We Collect and How We Use It

When you use the View Page Source website, we collect certain information to provide and improve our service:

Information You Provide

  • Submitted URLs: To use our service, you must submit the URL of the webpage whose source code you wish to view. We use this URL solely to fetch the source code from the specified address and display it to you.

Information We Process

  • Fetched Page Source Code: When you submit a URL, our servers retrieve the HTML source code (and potentially related content like CSS or JavaScript, depending on the tool's specific functionality) from that URL. This content is processed by our servers to be displayed to you.
    • Temporary Processing: We aim to process submitted URLs and the fetched source code ephemerally, meaning it is held in memory or temporary storage on our servers only for the duration necessary to serve your request.
    • No Long-Term Storage of Fetched Content: We do not store the full HTML source code of the pages you view through our service on our servers beyond this temporary processing period required to display it to you.

Automatically Collected Information (Server Logs)

Like most websites, our servers automatically collect standard log information when you access View Page Source. This may include:

  • IP Address: Your Internet Protocol (IP) address.
  • Browser Type & Version: The type and version of the web browser you are using.
  • Operating System: Your device's operating system.
  • Date and Time of Access: When you used our service.
  • Submitted URL (in logs): The URL you requested to view may be part of our server access logs.
  • Referring Website (if any): The address of the webpage that linked you to our site, if applicable.

Purpose of Collecting Server Logs: This log data is used for:

  • Operating and maintaining the security of our Website.
  • Troubleshooting issues and improving the service.
  • Monitoring for abuse and ensuring compliance with our terms of service.
  • Generating aggregated, anonymous statistics about service usage (e.g., number of requests).

Data Retention for Logs: Server logs containing IP addresses and submitted URLs are retained for a limited period (e.g., [Specify duration, e.g., 7 days, 30 days]) for security and operational purposes, after which they are typically deleted or anonymized.

Website Settings & Preferences

(Developers: Include this section if your website uses cookies or localStorage for user preferences. If not, you can state that.)

  • View Page Source may use your browser's localStorage or cookies to remember certain display preferences (such as theme or font choices) if you customize them. This information is stored in your browser.
  • If we use cookies for preferences, these are typically functional cookies essential for your chosen experience.

Third Parties

  • Hosting Provider: Our Website is hosted by a third-party hosting provider. This provider may have access to server logs or data stored on the servers as part of their hosting services, governed by their own privacy and security policies. We choose reputable hosting providers.
  • Analytics Services: (Developers: Clearly state if you use any analytics services like Google Analytics, Matomo, Plausible, etc. If you do, explain what data is shared and link to their privacy policy. For a privacy-focused service, you might choose privacy-friendly analytics or none at all.)
    • Example if no analytics: We do not use third-party analytics services like Google Analytics to track your individual activity on our Website. We may perform very basic, aggregated analysis of our server logs for understanding service load.
    • Example if using analytics: We may use [Name of Analytics Service] to help us understand how our Website is used. This service may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and time spent on pages. This information is used to improve our service. For more details, please see [Name of Analytics Service]'s privacy policy: [Link to their privacy policy].
  • Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): We may use CDNs to serve our Website's static assets (like images, CSS, and JavaScript files) to improve performance. These CDNs may log your IP address as part of their service delivery.
  • No Selling of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information (such as IP addresses or submitted URLs from logs) to third-party marketers or any other external entities for their own marketing purposes.

Our Commitment to Security

We are committed to protecting the information you submit to View Page Source. We implement reasonable technical and administrative security measures to protect data on our servers, including:

  • Using HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) for all data transmitted between your browser and our Website.
  • Regularly reviewing our security practices.
  • Minimizing data retention where possible.

However, please understand that no website or Internet transmission is ever completely secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Cookies and Online Tracking

We do not use cookies or any other tracking technologies.

Your Choices and Control

  • Submitted Information: You choose which URLs you submit to our Service. Please be mindful of submitting URLs that may point to sensitive or private content, as the source code of that page will be fetched by our servers.
  • Browser Settings: You can control cookies and site data (like localStorage) through your web browser's settings.
  • Access and Deletion (If Applicable): (Developers: Depending on your data retention policies for logs and if you can identify specific user data, consider if you can offer this. For ephemeral processing, this might not be relevant beyond log deletion schedules.) If you have concerns about any data we might hold, please contact us.

Limited Circumstances for Disclosure

  • To Comply with Legal Obligations: If required by law, such as in response to a subpoena, court order, or other valid legal process from a jurisdiction with authority over us.
