Last updated: April 22, 2026
1. Personal Information We Collect
We collect the absolute minimum amount of information required to provide you with a seamless learning experience.
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address. If you choose to sign in using third-party providers like Google or GitHub, we receive basic profile details authorized by those services (such as your name and email).
Usage and Device Information: As you browse and interact with codingoals.com, we automatically log information about your device and usage patterns. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and how you navigate through our courses.
Course Progress: We store essential data regarding your activity, such as exercises completed, course progression, and specific platform preferences.
2. How We Use Collected Information & Legal Basis
We collect and process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in providing and improving our educational services. The data we collect is used strictly for the following operational purposes:
To deliver our services: Ensuring secure authentication, keeping you logged in, and saving your progress seamlessly.
To improve our platform: Analyzing user interactions and session data to spot bugs, fix UI issues, and enhance the overall learning experience.
To communicate with you: Sending critical account notifications, security alerts, or replying to your direct support requests.
3. Where We Send Your Data (Third-Party Providers)
We do not sell, trade, or monetize your personal identification information. We rely on a few trusted third-party infrastructure providers to make codingoals.com work properly:
Authentication & Identity: We use Clerk to handle all user registration, secure login flows (including Google/GitHub integrations), and session security. Clerk securely processes and stores your core account credentials.
Analytics & Diagnostics: We use PostHog to understand how features are used by tracking page views, clicks, and other interactions. This is strictly used for product improvement and bug squashing.
Cloud Infrastructure: We use trusted cloud hosting and database providers to securely store your course progress and platform data. These providers act as data processors on our behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our platform and infrastructure partners utilize cookies, secure tokens, and similar tracking technologies necessary to maintain your session and gather usage analytics. While you can configure your browser to block cookies, please note that essential platform features—like logging into your account—will not function without them.
5. How We Protect Your Information
We adopt appropriate data collection, storage, and processing practices, as well as strict security measures, to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal information, passwords, and data stored on our Site. Sensitive and private data exchange between the Site and its Users happens over secure, encrypted communication channels (SSL/TLS).
6. Your Rights under GDPR & CCPA
Whether you reside in the European Union (GDPR), California (CCPA), or anywhere else in the world, we extend the same fundamental privacy rights to all our learners. You have the right to:
Be informed whether we store your data.

Correct any errors in your records (e.g., updating your email).
Request erasure (the right to be forgotten) of your account and associated data.

Data portability, meaning you can request the data we hold be provided to you.
Not be subject to decisions based entirely on automated processing.
Note: Exercising some of these rights (like erasure) might interfere with our ability to provide you with our services, and your course progress will be permanently lost.
To exercise any of these rights, please reach out to us at [email protected].

Our platform is designed for general audiences and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We never intentionally collect or maintain information at our Site from those we actually know are under 13. If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete it from our systems.
