Privacy Policy

When you create a CodeNFacts account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and username. If you sign up with Google or GitHub, we receive basic profile details (name, email, profile photo) from those providers.

As you use the platform, we may also collect content you create — posts, comments, messages, achievements, and uploaded files like PDFs or resumes — along with usage data such as which tutorials, problems, or Brain Arena games you interact with.

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and maintain your account and profile
• Provide core features like Brain Arena, tracks, and Connect
• Verify your identity during sign-up (via email verification codes) and secure your account
• Analyse resumes you choose to submit through our Resume Analyser feature, using the Gemini API, solely to generate feedback for you
• Communicate updates, verification codes, or support replies
• Improve and troubleshoot the platform

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

CodeNFacts uses your browser's local storage to remember things like your login state and your progress in Brain Arena games (for example, Code Detective and Algorithm Race scores). This data stays on your device and is not automatically shared with our servers unless a feature explicitly says so.

We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site functionality, such as keeping you signed in. We do not use cookies for third-party advertising.

CodeNFacts relies on the following third-party services to operate:

• Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Storage) - for account management, data storage, and file uploads
• Google & GitHub OAuth - for optional sign-in methods

Each of these providers has its own privacy practices, and we encourage you to review them where relevant.

You can:

• Access and update your profile information at any time
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Opt out of non-essential communications
• Ask us what personal data we hold about you

To make any of these requests, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page.

CodeNFacts is intended for students and professionals and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as CodeNFacts grows. We'll update the "last updated" date above whenever changes are made, and significant changes will be communicated through the platform.
