Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 27, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to pythonhere.com ("we", "our", or "us"). We provide a free, browser-based online Python editor and learning platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website.

Since pythonhere is designed as an instant Python playground that runs entirely in your browser, we have built it with privacy as a core principle. We do not require sign-ups, and we do not execute your Python code on our servers.

2. How Your Code is Handled

  • Client-Side Execution: When you write and run Python scripts in our editor, the execution happens entirely within your device's browser using WebAssembly (Pyodide). Your code is never sent to our servers for execution.
  • Local Storage: Your active sessions and code history are saved locally in your browser's localStorage so you can pick up where you left off. We cannot access this local data.
  • Code Sharing: If you explicitly click the "Share" button to generate a shareable link, that specific code snippet is securely uploaded to our database to create the link. Shared snippets do not contain personally identifiable information unless you include it in the code yourself.

3. Cookies, Analytics & Advertising

We use a combination of privacy-friendly analytics and Google services to analyze website traffic and display relevant advertisements:

  • Simple Analytics: We use a privacy-first, cookie-less analytics platform to get basic, completely anonymous insights without identifying you or using cookies.
  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to monitor traffic and site performance. This service uses cookies to gather anonymous data on usage patterns. You can opt-out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
  • Google AdSense: We serve advertisements using Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other sites on the Internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Opting Out of Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Third-Party Services

Our platform interacts with the following third-party infrastructure:

  • Vercel: Our website is hosted on Vercel, which may collect standard web server access logs (like user agent and IP address) for security and performance purposes.
  • Supabase: We use Supabase to store code snippets that you explicitly choose to share.
  • Google (Analytics & AdSense): As described above, Google processes data in accordance with their privacy policy and consent settings.

5. SEO & External Links

Our learning hub and documentation may contain links to external resources, tutorials, or affiliate partners (such as courses or books). If you click these links, you will be directed to a third-party site. Their privacy practices are separate from ours, and we encourage you to read their policies.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features to our online Python editor. Any updates will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
