Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 29, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

phpcompiler.net is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our online PHP compiler service.

Information We Collect

Code Execution

When you run PHP code using our compiler:

  • Your code executes entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology
  • Code is NOT sent to our servers during normal execution
  • Code is NOT stored, logged, or transmitted unless you explicitly create a shareable link

Shareable Links

When you create a shareable link:

  • Your code is encoded and stored to generate a unique URL
  • Shared code remains accessible via the generated URL
  • Anyone with the link can view and run the code
  • We recommend not sharing sensitive information, passwords, or API keys in shared code

Analytics and Usage Data

We collect anonymous usage data to improve our service:

  • Page views and navigation patterns
  • Browser type and version
  • Device information (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • General geographic location (country level)
  • Referral sources

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Local Storage

We use browser local storage to:

  • Save your theme preference (light/dark mode)
  • Remember editor settings (font size)

This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

How We Use Information

Information we collect is used to:

  • Provide and maintain the PHP compiler service
  • Improve user experience and site performance
  • Understand how users interact with our service
  • Detect and prevent technical issues
  • Generate aggregate statistics about service usage

Information Sharing

We do NOT sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. Anonymous usage statistics may be shared in aggregate form for analytical purposes.

Cookies

phpcompiler.net uses minimal cookies for essential functionality:

  • Session management
  • User preferences (theme, settings)
  • Analytics (anonymous)

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

Data Security

We implement security measures to protect your data:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Secure data storage practices
  • Regular security audits
  • Access controls and monitoring

Data Retention

Code shared via shareable links is retained indefinitely unless explicitly deleted. Anonymous usage data is retained for analytical purposes. Local storage data persists until you clear your browser data.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Use phpcompiler.net anonymously without creating an account
  • Clear your browser's local storage at any time
  • Request deletion of specific shareable links
  • Opt out of analytics by using browser privacy tools
