Privacy Policy
At CodeUp Challenge, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. By using our platform, you agree to the terms outlined below.
1. Information We Collect
- Account Information: When you register using Google authentication, we collect your name, email address, and Google ID.
- Usage Data: We track your interactions with challenges (started, submitted, completed) to improve your experience.
- Payment Data: When you purchase access to challenges or a full plan, we use Stripe to process payments. We do not store or have access to your credit card or banking details.

All payment transactions are securely processed through Stripe. Stripe is a certified PCI Service Provider Level 1 — the most stringent level of certification available in the payments industry.
We do not store or access your credit card or payment information. All sensitive information is managed exclusively by Stripe.
