Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how FineFrontend (“FineFrontend,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares personal information when you visit or use our website, practice workspace, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

This policy does not cover third-party sites or services that you access through links in the Service. Please review their privacy notices before providing them with personal information.

The information we process depends on how you use the Service and may include:

• Account information: identifiers and profile details supplied through Clerk, such as your account ID, name, username, email address, and profile image where available;
• Practice content: code submissions, saved code snapshots, challenge comments, and reports of comments;
• Practice progress: challenge completion and bookmarks, MCQ attempts and accuracy, and interview questions or technologies you have studied;
• Communication and notification details: your email address and related details when you contact us or subscribe to the newsletter; and
• Technical and service information: information required to deliver and secure the Service, such as authentication-session data, device or browser information, logs, and network identifiers processed by us or our service providers.

We receive account information from Clerk when you sign in. We receive practice content and progress directly from you when you use the Service.

We use personal information to:

• authenticate you and provide account-dependent features;
• save, display, and manage your submissions, progress, bookmarks, comments, and dashboard insights;
• maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the Service;
• moderate comments, investigate reports, prevent abuse, and enforce our Terms of Service;
• communicate with you when you contact us; and
• send you the newsletter and product updates you requested;
• comply with legal obligations and protect the rights, safety, and security of FineFrontend, users, and others.

We do not use your code submissions, practice history, or comments to make decisions about employment, credit, housing, insurance, or eligibility for any similar high-impact service.

Where a privacy law requires a legal basis, we process information to provide the Service and fulfill our contract with you; to pursue legitimate interests in operating, securing, improving, and enforcing the Service; to comply with legal obligations; or with your consent where required. You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing, without affecting prior processing.

We may share information only as needed for the purposes described in this policy:

• Authentication provider: Clerk processes authentication and account-management information under its own privacy practices;
• Service providers: providers that host, secure, or support the Service may process information on our behalf under appropriate contractual or legal safeguards;
• Other users: comments and related author display information may be visible in challenge discussions;
• Legal and safety disclosures: when we reasonably believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or the integrity of the Service; and
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

The Service and its authentication provider use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to provide secure sign-in, maintain sessions, remember preferences, and protect against fraud or abuse. If we introduce non-essential cookies, such as analytics or advertising cookies, we will provide any notices and choices required by applicable law before using them.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the Service, maintain your account and practice history, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, meet legal obligations, and protect the Service. Retention periods vary by information type and purpose. You may delete supported items, such as individual code snapshots or dashboard progress categories, through the Service. You may also request account or data deletion as described below, subject to legal and operational limits.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep account credentials confidential and do not place passwords, API keys, or other secrets in code submissions or comments.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; or to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to complain to a data-protection authority. These rights are not absolute and may be subject to applicable-law exceptions.

To make a request, use the contact method below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We will not discriminate against you for exercising rights that apply to you.

The Service and our providers may process information in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, we use safeguards designed to support lawful cross-border transfers of personal information.

The Service is not directed to children who are not legally permitted to use it without parental or guardian involvement. If you believe a child has provided personal information in violation of applicable law, please contact us so we can review and take appropriate action.

We may update this policy as the Service or applicable law changes. We will post the revised policy and update the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
