Privacy Policy

What we collect

If you do not create an account, we store nothing that identifies you. Reading tutorials and running code requires no account and no personal details.

If you create an account, we store your name, email address, an optional college name, and a password that is hashed with bcrypt — we cannot read it.

Code you write

Code you run in the compiler is sent to a third-party sandbox service for execution and is not stored by us. Code you submit to a practice problem is saved against your account so you can see your own submission history.

What we do not do

• We do not sell or share your data with advertisers.
• We do not show ads.
• We do not email you marketing you did not ask for.

Cookies and local storage

We use one session cookie to keep you logged in. Your browser also stores your unsaved code and your light/dark preference locally on your own device — that never reaches our server.

Deleting your account

Email support@firsthack.in and we will delete your account and submissions within 7 working days.
