Privacy Policy – Code Assistant Web Extension

Effective Date: 6 October 2025

The Code Assistant Web Extension ("we", "our", "the Extension") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how it is used, and how it is protected.

1. Data We Collect

• Website Content: The extension may read coding problem titles, IDs, or descriptions from supported coding platforms (such as LeetCode) to provide hints, solutions, and revision reminders.
• Local Storage: The extension may store user preferences (e.g., selected programming language, notification settings) on your device.

We do not collect or store personally identifiable information (such as name, email, or address), financial information, health data, passwords, or sensitive user activity.

2. How We Use Data

• To fetch relevant hints and solutions for coding problems.
• To provide reminders about previously solved questions.
• To improve the learning experience for users.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share user data with third parties. If optional AI APIs (e.g., Gemini, Code Llama) are used, only the problem text is sent for generating hints/solutions.

4. Data Security

All user data remains stored locally in the browser or on our secure database. We use industry-standard practices to protect data integrity.
