First off I don't think you can do that with an .html file. You would need a .php one or atleast a javascript in the html that then calls the python script. Don't quote me though since I personally have trouble with these things haha, but I think that is how you need to start.

I threw it in the garbage, but if you type in tinkernut in YouTube you'll probably find the video that I followed...

Well you could have tried to do this in php. It should run the python file, if I'm right

<html><body><?exec ("helloworld.py");?></body></html>

I don't have my pi on hand, but I'll try

Yeah I could have tried if I had any python scripts hah. My pi should be running a apache server with all plugins and such.

I don't have my pi on hand, but I'll try, and how do I make it on a button press?

Have an invisible iframe on the page, and when the button is pressed, it could use JavaScript to change the iframe location to the PHP page which then runs the python script.

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.

about plugins, will I need any for this?

You will need it enabled for php, but really if you have a web server everything important should be included

Why not write a service that responds to GET requests with python in the first place? Then send ajax requests and do whatever, if you can't get direct requests to client, then do the requests from php. I remember I did that once to circumvent CORS and put an external api functions into my web page.
