Privacy Policy
Last updated October 6, 2026
This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. The short version: we collect what we need to run CodeStride, we do not sell your data, and we do not show ads.
On this page
01What we collect
Account details: your name, email address, and the provider you used to sign in (Apple, Google, GitHub or LinkedIn). If a provider shares your name we prefill it; you can change it anytime.
Learning data: topics you complete, practice scores, code you run or submit, and how long lessons take. This powers progress tracking and lets us improve explanations that confuse people.
Billing data: your plan, renewal date and payment history. Card details are handled by Stripe or Apple and never reach our servers.
Technical and security data: your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location derived from your IP, the pages and actions you use, and crash reports. We record sign-ins, purchases and other account changes together with the IP address and device they came from, so we can protect your account and investigate problems.
02How we use it
To provide the service and remember where you left off; to process payments and send receipts; to email you login codes and important account notices; to understand which lessons work and which need rewriting; and to keep the service and your account secure, including detecting fraud and abuse.
We do not sell personal data and we do not show third-party advertising.
03Legal bases
Where GDPR applies, we rely on contract (to provide the service you signed up for), legitimate interests (improving and securing CodeStride), consent (optional product emails) and legal obligation (tax and accounting records).
06Retention
We keep your account data while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove personal data within 30 days, except records we must keep for tax or legal reasons. Anonymised learning statistics may be retained.
Request logs, which include IP addresses and browser details, are deleted after 90 days. Security records of account activity (such as sign-ins and purchases) are kept for 1 year, then deleted.
07Your rights
You can access, correct, export or delete your data from Settings, or by emailing support@codestride.dev. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object to or restrict processing and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
08Children
CodeStride is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
09Changes
We will post updates here and, for material changes, notify you by email or in the app.
