Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Codinx, founded by Nathan Lobo, we prioritize the confidentiality and security of our users. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of data we collect, how it is managed, and the measures we take to ensure your digital privacy while using our automated lab documentation services.

2. Information Collection

We collect and process data to facilitate our core features and improve user experience:

• User-Uploaded Content: Any source code or project data you upload is processed temporarily to generate write-ups and PDFs. We do not claim ownership of your code.
• Account Information: We may store your email address and account status to manage access and support.
• Payment Data: All transactions are processed via secure third-party gateways (e.g., UPI/Google Pay). Codinx does not store your credit card or bank credentials on our servers.
• Technical Data: We collect minimal usage data (local storage for themes, browser type, and interaction logs) to optimize site performance.

3. Use of Cookies

Codinx uses cookies and local storage to improve your experience on the platform:

• Session Cookies: Used to keep you logged in and maintain your preferences (such as dark/light theme) across sessions.
• Functional Storage: We store minimal data in your browser's local storage for theme preferences and interface settings. No third-party advertising cookies are used on this platform.
• Analytics: We may monitor anonymized traffic patterns to improve our platform performance and user experience. No personally identifiable data is shared with third parties.

4. Data Retention & Security

All data transmitted between your browser and Codinx is protected using HTTPS with TLS encryption. Your data is stored securely and access is strictly limited to authorized systems. Generated PDFs are intended for your personal use and are not publicly accessible or indexed by Codinx.

5. We Never Sell Your Data

Codinx does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with any third party for commercial gain. Your code, documents, and personal information belong to you — we only use them to provide the services you requested.

6. Third-Party Services

To operate Codinx, we work with a small number of trusted third-party services. Each handles your data only to the extent necessary to deliver their function:

• Brevo (Email): Used to send transactional emails such as OTPs, password resets, and support replies. Your email address is shared only for this purpose.
• Razorpay (Payments): Handles all payment processing. Codinx never receives or stores your card or bank credentials — they remain solely with Razorpay.

7. User Rights

In accordance with global data protection standards, you have the right to:

• Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Request the deletion of your account and all associated data at any time.
• Contact us with any privacy concern and expect a prompt response.

8. Children's Privacy

Codinx is an educational tool often used by students. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13 without parental/guardian consent. If we become aware of such data collection, we will take immediate steps to remove it.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we do, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of Codinx after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
