Privacy policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

XJY Editor ("we") is operated by Zhaowu Li. This policy explains what information we process when you use XJY Editor, and how. For questions or requests, write to contact@xjyeditor.com.

1. The files you edit

Files you open in XJY Editor (XML, JSON, YAML, CSV, SQLite, Excel and so on) are read, edited, converted and saved entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded to us or anyone else, and we cannot see their names or contents. When you close the page, nothing of the file stays in the browser except drafts you choose to keep (section 2).

The editor pages load no ads, statistics or other third-party scripts, and tell the browser not to send data anywhere except this website (apart from the comparison in section 1.1).

1.1 Comparing with FindChanged

Only when you click Open FindChanged or Send to FindChanged are the nodes or document you chose handed, inside your browser, to the FindChanged page that opens (by default findchanged.com, run by the same operator). The content passes between the two browser tabs only — through no server and not in the address. FindChanged also compares in the browser and has its own privacy policy. When you click Locate in XJY Editor there, it sends back only line and column numbers.

1.2 The XJY Editor helper

If you install the XJY Editor helper on Windows (File Explorer right-click menu), it reads and writes only the single file you chose in File Explorer, on your computer, and hands it to the editor in your browser through a local address (127.0.0.1). File contents and paths are not sent to us or anyone else. The helper requests only the web pages themselves from xjyeditor.com.

2. Information kept in your browser

• Interface language (xjy-language-v1): whether you chose English or Chinese.
• Layout (node-explorer-layout-v1): the width of panes such as the tree.
• Local drafts and recovery points (node-explorer-draft, xjy-recovery-v1, xjy-auto-v1): kept only when you click Save local draft, create a recovery point or turn on automatic drafts. They contain your document, so you can recover after an accidental close.
• Templates (xjy-templates-v1): node templates you saved.

All of this stays in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device. Delete drafts and templates in the page, or clear this website's data in the browser, to remove it. On a shared computer, remember to delete your local drafts. We do not set cookies.

3. Feedback

There is no feedback form on the website at present. What you send us by email is used only to reply to you, and attachments are not kept once your request is handled.

4. Usage statistics

We collect no usage statistics at present. If we add them, this policy will first say what is collected, and statistics will never include your file names, file contents or anything you type.

5. Advertising

There are no ads.

6. Hosting and server logs

The website is hosted on Cloudflare. As with any website, when your browser requests a page Cloudflare receives your IP address and browser details. Cloudflare processes them as our service provider, mainly to deliver pages and protect against attacks; see the Cloudflare privacy policy. We keep no access logs of our own.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. The only such information we might hold is email you sent us; to have it deleted, write to contact@xjyeditor.com.

8. Children

XJY Editor is a general-purpose tool not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information about children.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, we update the date at the top; significant changes are announced on the home page.
