Privacy policy

Coding Theme is a reading and reference site. It does not ask for, store, or sell the following:

• No accounts, profiles, or sign-in.
• No contact form, newsletter, waitlist, or comment system.
• No payments or billing details.
• No advertising, ad identifiers, or third-party analytics scripts.
• No cross-site tracking or behavioral profiles.
• No sale of personal information.

There is no sign-up step before a preview, and no email address is required to browse.

Your appearance choice — light, dark, or system — is saved in this browser’s local storage under the theme key. It is read before the page paints, so the page opens in the mode you picked. The value stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.

Copying a theme name, config line, or settings snippet writes text to your browser clipboard. That happens locally; the site does not upload the copied text.

To remove the preference, clear site data for codingtheme.com in your browser settings.

The site is hosted on Cloudflare. A page request carries the technical data needed to return it: your IP address, browser and device headers such as the user agent, the requested URL and its query string, a referring page when your browser sends one, and the time of the request.

Search text you enter in a catalog appears in the URL and is used to filter results. It is processed by this site and its own API; it is not tied to an account or shared with an ad network.

The data is used to return the page, keep the service running, cache pages at the edge, and investigate abuse. It is not used to build advertising profiles.

Theme images are served from images.codingtheme.com, which we operate. Fonts and page assets are served from this site rather than a third-party CDN.

This site does not set cookies of its own and does not use cookies to recognize you across visits. The appearance preference described above is local storage, not a cookie.

Cloudflare may process security and routing identifiers needed to protect the site from abuse. Those are controlled by Cloudflare, are not used for advertising, and are described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy linked below.

Cloudflare provides hosting, caching, and network protection for the site. Their practices are described in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy (opens in a new tab).

Theme metadata is fetched by our server from public catalogs — the VS Code Marketplace, api.zed.dev, and the upstream Ghostty theme repository — so your browser does not need to contact those services to render a page.

Pages link to external sites such as GitHub and ghostty.org. Once you follow a link, that site’s privacy policy applies; we do not control what it collects. We do not load fonts, icons, or analytics from third-party hosts; those assets ship with the site.

Request logs and cache records are operational data. They are kept for a limited period to run the service and investigate abuse, then deleted or rotated. Rendered pages are cached at the edge for up to a day and replaced as the catalog updates.

Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to answer and to keep a record of the correction or request. You can ask us to delete a thread once the matter is closed.

You can clear the appearance preference and site data at any time in your browser. Because there are no accounts, we usually cannot identify you from a visit.

Use the contact page to ask what information we hold about you, request a correction or deletion, or object to processing.

If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the rights provided by the GDPR, including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to complain to your local supervisory authority.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information, and to be free from discrimination for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We will respond within the time required by applicable law.

The site is served over HTTPS. It has no accounts, passwords, or payment details, which keeps the personal data involved limited. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; if a problem affects personal information, we will take appropriate steps and notify where required.

The site is a general-audience theme catalog and is not directed at children under 13, or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Cloudflare serves the site from a global network, so a request may be processed in a country other than yours. Where a transfer needs safeguards, Cloudflare relies on its standard contractual terms and other compliance measures.

If this policy changes, the date at the top of this page is updated. The current version is always the one published at /privacy-policy. Material changes are described on this page rather than applied silently.
