This Privacy Policy explains how CodeQuest collects, uses, shares, retains, and protects personal data. By using CodeQuest, you confirm that you have read this policy.

2. Data We May Collect

CodeQuest may collect only the data necessary to provide and improve the platform, including:

• Username or account identifier;
• Email address, when provided by the user;
• Progress, answers, completed levels, and learning statistics;
• Basic technical information, such as device type, operating system, language, and application performance data;
• Messages or requests sent to support.

3. How We Use Data

3A. Legal Bases

Depending on the activity, CodeQuest processes data to perform its agreement with you, comply with legal obligations, pursue legitimate interests such as security and service improvement, or act on your consent. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting earlier lawful processing.

4. App Permissions and Data

The CodeQuest application may use technical permissions that are strictly necessary for its operation. Whenever a feature requires a specific permission, that permission will be requested by the operating system.

5. Data Sharing

CodeQuest does not sell users' personal data. Data may be processed by technical providers necessary for the platform to operate, including Google Firebase services for authentication, database hosting, and infrastructure, and Google Sign-In when selected by the user. Providers process data under their own applicable terms and contractual safeguards.

5A. International Transfers

Some providers may process data outside your country or region. Where required, CodeQuest relies on an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses, or another lawful transfer mechanism.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The CodeQuest website may use cookies or similar technologies to improve navigation, maintain essential features, and understand service performance. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data Security

CodeQuest applies reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or improper disclosure. No digital system is completely immune to risks, but CodeQuest aims to maintain appropriate protection practices.

8. Data Retention

Data is kept only for as long as necessary to provide the platform, fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or comply with applicable legal obligations. You may request deletion of your account or data using the contact details on this page.

9. User Rights

Under applicable law, you may request:

• Access to your personal data;
• Correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
• Deletion of data, when applicable;
• Restriction of or objection to processing, when applicable;
• Data portability, when applicable;
• Information about how your data is processed.

To exercise these rights, contact help@codequest.pt. You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection supervisory authority available in your country or region.

10. Children's Privacy

CodeQuest is an educational platform. If the user is under the legal age in their country, use of the platform must take place with authorization or supervision from a parent or legal guardian. If a parent or guardian believes that a child's data was provided without proper authorization, they may contact CodeQuest to request removal.

11. Links to External Services

The platform may contain links or integrations with external services. CodeQuest does not control the privacy practices of those services, so users should review their respective privacy policies.

11A. Automated Decisions

CodeQuest does not currently use personal data to make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on users.

12. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect legal, technical, or functional changes. When relevant changes are made, the update date at the top of the page will be revised.
