Privacy at a Glance

What we collect

Only essential information needed to provide you with a learning account, such as your email address and authentication credentials.

Why we collect it

To save your learning progress, secure your account, and monitor platform performance and stability.

How we protect it

Using industry-standard bcrypt hashing for passwords and secure, HTTP-only cookies for session management.

In our secure Neon PostgreSQL database environment.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you register for a BrowserCode account, we collect your email address and a securely hashed version of your password. We do not store your password in plain text.

Authentication Data

When you log in, we generate a secure session token. This token is stored in an HTTP-only cookie on your browser and is used to keep you authenticated as you navigate the site.

Platform Analytics

We collect anonymized performance data (such as page load times and Web Vitals metrics) to help us ensure the platform remains fast and responsive. We do not track your individual learning progress for analytics purposes.

Admin Security Logs

For security and auditing purposes, actions performed by administrators within the Admin Panel are logged. This helps us prevent unauthorized access and maintain the integrity of the platform.

What We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not collect or store the source code you write in the Playgrounds as analytics data.
  • We do not sell your email address to third-party marketers.
  • We do not use invasive third-party tracking cookies (like Facebook Pixel or Google Analytics tracking IDs) across our platform.

Your Choices and Rights

You have full control over your account. You can:

  • Change your password at any time via your Account Settings.
  • Revoke active login sessions across all your devices.
  • Request the permanent deletion of your account and associated data by contacting our support team.

Privacy FAQ

Is my learning progress public?

Your learning progress (such as completed exercises and quiz scores) is entirely private and visible only to you when logged into your account.

Are my playground projects visible to others?

No. Currently, all playground projects are tied exclusively to your account and are not publicly searchable or accessible by other users.

How will I know about a data breach?

In the unlikely event of a data breach, we will notify all affected users via their registered email address within 72 hours of confirming the incident, detailing the scope and the steps we are taking to secure the platform.
