Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 March 2025

1. Information We Collect

We collect information necessary to provide and improve our service:

  • Account information: name, email address, username, and password (stored in hashed form).
  • Coding submissions: code and other content you submit during interview simulations.
  • Interview responses: your answers, system design notes, and evaluation results.
  • Usage analytics: how you use the Platform (e.g., pages visited, features used) to improve the product.
  • Device and browser information: IP address, browser type, and device identifiers where relevant for security and compatibility.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide interview simulations and run your code in a secure environment
  • Evaluate code submissions and generate feedback and verdicts
  • Improve question quality and platform functionality
  • Maintain platform security and prevent abuse
  • Detect and respond to violations of our Terms of Service
  • Send you service-related communications (e.g., account or security notices)

3. Code Submission Handling

Your code and other submissions are stored and processed to execute tests, produce evaluations, and display results to you. We may analyze submissions in aggregate (e.g., to improve evaluation logic or question difficulty) and to operate the Platform. We do not use your code to train third-party AI models or for marketing. We retain your submissions as needed to provide history, reattempts, and support.

4. Cookies and Session Storage

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in (session management), remember your preferences, and understand how the Platform is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may limit some functionality (e.g., staying signed in).

5. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate, access controls, and secure development practices. No system is completely secure; we will notify you and regulators where required if a breach affects your personal data.

6. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services for hosting, authentication, analytics, and payment processing. These providers process data on our behalf under agreements that require them to protect your information and use it only for the purposes we specify. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data and interview history for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account and associated data; we will process such requests in accordance with applicable law and our data retention policies.

8. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us via the details in Section 11. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not intended for users under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Updates to the Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated via email or a notice on the Platform. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
