How We Use Your Information
Your data helps us create better educational experiences. When you work through coding exercises, we track completion rates and common stumbling points. This information guides curriculum improvements and helps identify where additional support materials might be needed.
Session information allows us to maintain your login status and preserve your progress as you navigate between lessons. We also use anonymized data to understand popular learning paths and optimize server performance during peak usage times.
For students in Taiwan, we may adapt content delivery based on local internet infrastructure and preferred learning schedules, ensuring optimal access to our programming courses.

Blocking all cookies may affect your ability to access personalized learning content and track your educational progress. We recommend allowing essential cookies while customizing other preferences based on your comfort level.
Data Retention and Your Rights
Session Data
Temporary session information is cleared when you log out or after 24 hours of inactivity. This includes current lesson progress and temporary preferences.
Learning Progress
Your course completion data and achievements are retained for the duration of your enrollment plus two years, allowing you to resume studies or access certificates.
Analytics Data
Anonymized usage patterns are kept for up to 26 months to inform long-term curriculum development and platform improvements.
Account Information
Profile data remains active while your account exists. You can request data deletion at any time, though this will remove access to completed coursework and certifications.
Third-Party Integrations
Some features require integration with external services for enhanced functionality. Our code editor uses syntax highlighting libraries that may store temporary formatting preferences locally on your device.
Video content delivery relies on optimized streaming services that may use performance cookies to ensure smooth playback across different connection speeds common in Taiwan's varied internet infrastructure.
We carefully vet all third-party services to ensure they meet our privacy standards and do not collect unnecessary personal information from our students.

This policy reflects our current data practices as of January 2025. As we add new features or educational tools, we may need to update our tracking methods accordingly.
Significant changes will be communicated through email notifications and prominent notices on our platform. Minor technical updates may be reflected in the policy without individual notification, though the last updated date will always reflect recent changes.
