You can configure your browser to decline cookies. However, disabling essential authentication cookies may impair your ability to access protected student modules and mock assessments.

7. Educational Performance & Assessment Data

A core feature of CodeNCareer is measuring and improving your technical readiness. When you complete coding challenges or timed aptitude assessments:

• Your individual scores, speed, and accuracy breakdowns are shown in your private Student Learning Workspace to guide your study routine.
• We may compute aggregated, anonymized percentile benchmarks (e.g. “Top 10% in Quantitative Aptitude”) across batch participants without publicly disclosing your personal identity.
• Performance records are never shared with or sold to outside marketing agencies.

8. Automated Processing & Evaluation Technologies

CodeNCareer employs automated software routines to evaluate student coding submissions, check test cases, calculate marks, and suggest relevant learning chapters based on identified knowledge gaps.

These automated mechanisms are strictly educational tools designed to provide rapid feedback. They do not constitute automated legal or corporate employment profiling.

9. How We Share & Disclose Information

Information is only shared under the following limited circumstances:

• Infrastructure & Hosting Partners: Trusted cloud infrastructure, database hosting, and transactional email/SMS delivery providers under strict confidentiality agreements.

CodeNCareer employs technical and organizational safeguards designed to secure your personal records against accidental loss, unauthorized access, alteration, and unlawful disclosure:

• Data in transit is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS);
• Passwords are secured using robust cryptographic hashing algorithms;
• Databases are restricted through role-based access control and firewalls;
• Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments are performed.

Please understand that no transmission mechanism over the Internet can be guaranteed as 100% impenetrable. We strongly advise students to maintain unique passwords and avoid sharing account credentials with others.

We retain your personal and academic information only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the educational purposes for which it was gathered:

• Active account data and assessment history are retained throughout your active enrollment and placement cycle.

If a learner is below 18 years of age (a minor under Indian law), platform registration, usage, and any fee transactions must be conducted with the consent and oversight of a parent or legal guardian. If we learn that personal data of a minor has been collected without parental consent, we will take prompt steps to delete such data.

Our platform may reference external documentation, company career pages, coding resources, or official examination portals. CodeNCareer does not govern, review, or assume responsibility for the privacy practices, cookies, or content of external third-party domains. We encourage learners to inspect the privacy terms of any third-party link they choose to visit.

15. Amendments to This Privacy Policy
