Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Your Privacy is Our Priority

This policy explains local document processing, browser storage and advertising choices on FreeWordEditor.com.

Important: Document processing happens in your browser. When you open a .docx file, it is edited locally on your device, not uploaded to our servers. Local processing is not a guarantee of complete privacy or security.

Data We Don't Collect

We don't store your documents on our servers
We don't track your editing activity
We don't require user accounts or personal information
We don't use our own analytics or tracking cookies (see Advertising below for ad-related cookies)

Local Storage

FreeWordEditor.com uses IndexedDB in your browser to keep your current document and periodically save edits while the editor is open. Wait for “Saved on this device” before closing the tab. If a save fails, the editor will warn you to download a copy. The latest saved version can be reopened on this device; changes made after the last save may not be recoverable. Browser data can be cleared by your browser or device settings.

Your locally saved document remains in this browser until you replace it with another document, use New in the editor, clear your browser storage, or remove it below. This matters on shared devices. None of these actions deletes a downloaded copy.

Document Processing

Uploaded Documents: When you upload a .docx file, it is stored in your browser's IndexedDB until you replace or remove it. The editor processes its contents on your device without sending the file to our servers.

Blank Documents and Templates: Editing and DOCX/PDF exports happen in your browser. The page may still request website assets such as fonts and, with consent where configured, advertising resources from third parties. We do not intentionally include document contents in those requests.

Advertising

If advertising is enabled, Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads after you accept cookies in our cookie banner. This may include personalized advertising based on your Google ad settings. Accepting cookies does not mean an ad is currently being served. If you reject cookies, we do not load advertising cookies.

Document content is not intentionally sent to advertisers. This is not a guarantee that third-party scripts are technically unable to access page content. You can learn how Google uses data from ad partners at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

Changing Your Consent Choice

To reset your stored consent choice, clear this site's browser data in your browser settings, then reload FreeWordEditor.com to choose again in the cookie banner. Download your document first: clearing site data also deletes the locally saved document. Removing the saved document with the button above does not reset consent.
