HTML to URL Privacy Policy

How htmltourl collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you create, share, restore, and extend HTML URLs.

Updated May 25, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how htmltourl collects, uses, stores, and shares information. htmltourl is a tool that turns HTML code into a shareable online URL for quick previews, AI-generated page sharing, prototypes, QA tickets, and short-term client reviews.

By using htmltourl.com, live.htmltourl.com, or related services, you understand the data practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

HTML Content You Submit

When you generate an HTML URL, we process the HTML content and related metadata, such as:

HTML page content.
Page title, original file name, or similar descriptive information.
Generated slug, live URL, storage path, creation time, expiration time, and recovery deadline.
Page status, whether the htmltourl badge is shown, and any related restoration or extension plan.
Basic page statistics such as view count and last viewed time.

Generated pages are available through public links. Do not include passwords, access tokens, API keys, private business information, sensitive personal information, or content you are not authorized to publish.

Account Information

If you register, sign in, or use account-based features, we may collect:

Name, email address, and avatar.
Email verification status.
Sign-in method and third-party authentication provider information, such as Google.
Session tokens, sign-in times, expiration times, IP address, and browser User-Agent.
Language, locale, source channel, and similar account attributes.

Payment and Order Information

When you purchase URL extensions, restorations, or other paid services, we process order and payment-related information, such as:

Product, plan, price, currency, order number, and order status.
Payment provider, payment session ID, transaction ID, invoice ID, and callback URL.
Payment email, payer name, and necessary payment results returned by the payment provider.
Restoration or extension duration associated with a specified HTML page.

Payments are usually handled by Creem, Stripe, PayPal, or another enabled third-party payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our own servers.

Device, Log, and Usage Information

To operate, protect, and improve the service, we may collect:

IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, and language settings.
Request time, visited pages, referring page, error logs, and performance logs.
Activity related to generation, preview, live-page visits, restoration, sign-in, payment, and security protection.

When someone opens a generated live URL, we may process basic request and visit information so the page can load, view counts can work, abuse can be investigated, and expired or restored pages can be handled correctly.

Cookies and Local Storage

We may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to:

Keep you signed in and secure sessions.
Save language, theme, dismissed banner, and similar preferences.
Perform basic analytics, performance monitoring, and security protection.
Support payment, authentication, referral, or anti-abuse flows.

You may restrict cookies through your browser settings, but some sign-in, payment, or preference features may not work correctly.

Analytics and Third-Party Tools

Depending on configuration, the site may use Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Plausible, OpenPanel, Vercel Analytics, or similar tools to understand page visits, product usage, and performance.

The site may also use third-party services for hosting, object storage, databases, email delivery, authentication, payments, customer support, or security, such as Cloudflare R2, Vercel, Resend, Google, Creem, Stripe, PayPal, and similar providers. The services actually enabled may vary by deployment configuration.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

Create, host, display, restore, and extend HTML URLs.
Provide browser previews, public links, expiration notices, view statistics, and recovery pages.
Create and manage accounts, sessions, email verification, and sign-in status.
Process payments, orders, invoices, payment callbacks, and service delivery.
Maintain service security and detect abuse, fraud, malicious code, spam, or abnormal traffic.
Debug issues, improve performance, analyze product usage, and improve user experience.
Respond to support requests, enforce our Terms, handle complaints, and meet legal obligations.

Public Pages and Sharing Risks

Live URLs generated through htmltourl are publicly accessible links. Although generated pages use noindex / nofollow tags by default to reduce search indexing, this is not privacy protection or access control.

Anyone with the link may access, copy, download, screenshot, forward, or reference the page. Third-party browsers, chat tools, search engines, social platforms, caching services, or visitors may also store page information. Only publish content that you are comfortable sharing publicly.

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share necessary information only in the following cases:

With infrastructure, storage, hosting, database, payment, email, authentication, analytics, and security providers so we can provide the service.
Through public URLs according to your actions or authorization, so visitors can access generated pages.
With payment providers to process payments, refunds, disputes, billing, invoices, or tax compliance.
To comply with legal obligations, court orders, government requests, or to protect legal rights.
To investigate abuse, fraud, security incidents, infringement complaints, or violations of our Terms.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, asset transfer, or similar business transaction.

Data Retention

Free HTML links stay online for 3 days by default. After expiration, the related page may be retained during a recovery period so that you can restore or extend the same URL. After the recovery period ends, page content and related records may be deleted, made unavailable, or archived.

Account, order, payment, invoice, security log, and compliance records are retained for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and maintain business records.

If you want to delete your account or request handling of certain data, contact us. Some information may need to be retained for legal, payment, financial, security, or anti-abuse reasons.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, such as access controls, encrypted transport, permission limits, log monitoring, and security capabilities provided by third-party services. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is absolutely secure. You should also avoid submitting sensitive information and keep your account credentials safe.

Your Choices and Rights

Depending on the laws that apply where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, export, or restriction of your personal information, and you may have the right to object to certain processing or withdraw consent.

You can manage cookies through your browser, manage some information through account features, or contact us by email. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

Children

htmltourl is not directed to children under the minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to handle it.

International Transfers

We and our third-party service providers may process and store information outside your country or region. Data protection laws may differ across regions. By using the service, you understand that information may be transferred to other regions for processing.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated policies take effect when posted on this page. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice through the website or other appropriate means.
