Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains what information Excel Editor Online (“we”, “us”) at exceleditoronline.com handles, and why. In short: your spreadsheets stay on your device, we don’t use accounts or advertising, and we use Google Analytics to understand how the website is used.
Your files
When you open a spreadsheet, it is read and edited entirely in your web browser. Your files and their contents are never uploaded to our servers, and we cannot see them. Files you download are created in your browser and saved directly to your device.
Data stored in your browser
To protect your work if you refresh or close the page, the editor saves your current workbook and its file name in your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us. You can remove it at any time by starting a new workbook with New, or by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings. See our cookie policy for more detail.
Information we collect
We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not use advertising cookies.
Like almost every website, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. This is used only to deliver the website and protect it against abuse, and is kept for a limited period.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use the website, for example which pages are viewed and which languages are most popular. Google Analytics uses cookies and collects information such as the pages you visit, how you reached the site, your approximate location, your device and browser, and when you visited. It never receives your spreadsheets, their contents or the names of your files.
Google processes this information on our behalf and may store it on servers outside your country, including in the United States. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services and Google’s privacy policy. The cookies it sets are listed in our cookie policy.
To stop Google Analytics from collecting information about your visits, block or delete this site’s cookies in your browser, or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Third-party services
Fonts and the spreadsheet libraries used by the editor are served from our own domain. The only third-party service on the website is Google Analytics, described above. Using the editor never sends the contents of your files to anyone.
When you contact us
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message. We use this only to reply to you and keep it only as long as needed to handle your request.
Children
Excel Editor Online is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to its processing. Because we don’t store your files or run accounts, the personal information we may hold is limited to the analytics data described above and correspondence you send us. To make a request, contact us.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll change the date at the top of this page when we do.
