Privacy Policy

We collect the minimum data needed to operate a personalized e-learning experience:

• Account and Profile Data: Name, username, email, password (hashed), profile photo, preferred language, and learning goals supplied when you create or update an account.
• Learning Activity: Enrolled courses, video progress, quiz scores, downloads, bookmarks, waitlist selections, survey inputs, and interactions inside live cohorts or community features.
• Payments and Contributions: Billing address, masked payment identifiers, and contribution amounts processed through PCI-compliant partners. We never store full card numbers.
• Communications: Messages sent to instructors or support, help desk tickets, newsletter preferences, and feedback forms.
• Device & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, referring URLs, page views, clickstream, and approximate location derived from IP.
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: Session cookies, analytics tags, and storage used to keep you signed in, remember theme preferences, and measure content performance.

We process data to deliver a safe, high-quality learning experience. Typical uses include:

• Creating and managing learner accounts, enrollments, and certifications.
• Delivering courses, tutorials, notes, livestreams, and push/email notifications.
• Personalizing playlists, recommending next lessons, and tracking your progress.
• Processing payments, contributions, refunds, and issuing invoices.
• Providing customer support, responding to queries, and resolving disputes.
• Monitoring usage to keep the platform secure, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms.
• Conducting research, surveys, and analytics to improve curriculum and platform performance.
• Sending marketing or product updates when you opt in (and allowing you to opt out anytime).

Where applicable (e.g., UK/EU/EEA), we rely on the following legal grounds to collect and use your information:

• Contract: Necessary to provide the Courses, cohorts, or downloads you request.
• Legitimate Interests: Operating, securing, and improving our platform in ways that do not override your rights.
• Consent: Sending marketing emails, push notifications, or using certain cookies.
• Legal Obligations: Compliance with tax, accounting, KYC/AML, and regulatory requirements.

We do not sell learner data. We only share information with:

• Service Providers: Cloud hosting, payment gateways, analytics, email delivery, customer support, proctoring, and certification vendors bound by strict confidentiality.
• Instructors & Cohort Mentors: Limited profile details and progress data so they can facilitate classes or office hours.
• Business Transactions: In case of a merger, acquisition, or transfer, subject to safeguards and continued protection of your data.
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect rights, property, or safety of CodeWithHarry, our learners, or the public.
• With Your Consent: For example, when you connect third-party developer tools or request that we share certificates with employers.

We employ industry-standard safeguards including encryption in transit, tiered access controls, anomaly detection, vulnerability assessments, and secure development practices. Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to provide Services, meet contractual or legal obligations, or resolve disputes. When retention is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize the data.

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember preferences, analytics cookies (e.g., Plausible, privacy-focused GA alternatives) to understand feature performance, and optional marketing pixels for campaigns. You can manage preferences through your browser or our cookie banner, though disabling certain cookies may impact functionality.

We may also collect aggregated, de-identified statistics for curriculum planning and product roadmaps. These insights cannot reasonably identify you.

You may exercise the following rights, subject to applicable law:

• Access, update, or delete account information through your dashboard or by contacting us.
• Download a copy of your learning data (progress, certificates, contributions).
• Opt out of marketing emails using the unsubscribe link or via account settings.
• Disable cookies or revoke consent through the cookie banner.
• Object to or restrict certain processing, or request data portability.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any right, email legal@codewithharry.com. We may verify your identity before fulfilling the request.

The Services are intended for learners aged 13 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions) without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child has provided data to us, please contact us so we can delete it.

CodeWithHarry is based in India and may process data in other countries where we or our service providers operate. When transferring data internationally, we rely on lawful mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards to protect your information.

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features, regulatory requirements, or operational changes. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date and, when required, provide additional notice (for example via email or in-product alerts).

Continued use of the Services after a change signifies acceptance of the updated policy.
