This page explains what codercamp.dev collects, why, and the choices you have.

What we collect

Account details: your name, email address and password. The password is stored only as a secure hash.
Learning data: your progress in each lesson, the code you write and save, and your player settings.
Certificates: if you request a certificate, the name on it and the course are shown to anyone who checks its code.
Payments: if you subscribe to a course, PayPal handles the payments. We keep a record of each payment and of your subscription. We never see your card details.
Affiliates: if you sign up through an affiliate's link, we record which affiliate sent you, so they can be paid their commission. Affiliates see numbers and amounts, never your name or email. If you are an affiliate, we keep the PayPal email or M-Pesa number you give us for your payouts.
GitHub: if you connect GitHub, we store your GitHub username and an access token, encrypted. It only lets us create and update public repositories for your lesson code, when you press Push to GitHub.
AI feedback: when a challenge uses AI review, the code you submit for it is sent to Anthropic, an AI provider, to write the feedback.
Security: failed sign-in attempts are logged with the IP address, to stop password guessing.
Visits: Google Analytics measures how the site is used, with IP addresses anonymised. It doesn't load if your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.

Cookies and storage

A sign-in cookie keeps you signed in for up to 30 days.
A security cookie protects forms.
If you arrive through an affiliate's link, a referral cookie remembers that affiliate for up to 90 days, until you sign up.
Your browser's local storage keeps settings such as captions, speed and theme, and copies of files you make in lessons.
Google Analytics sets its own cookies, unless your browser asks not to be tracked.
