WhoJudge

Welcome to the WhoJudge platform. Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: Your name, email address, and handle when you register.
External Platforms: Public rating and submission data collected when you link external algorithmic platforms like Codeforces or E-Olymp.
Activity Data: Problems you solve, discussions you post, group memberships, and friend connections.

2. How We Use Information

To provide core platform functionalities like rankings and problem validation.
To improve user experience and calculate your personalized "Aura" score.
To ensure security and prevent spam or rule violations (e.g., plagiarism).

3. Third-Party Services

We use external resources to facilitate certain services:

APIs: Codeforces and E-Olymp APIs are used to verify problem submissions from external platforms.
Hosting & Analytics: We may use secure cloud hosting and anonymous analytics providers to ensure platform stability. These services do not have access to your personal identifiers.

4. Data Retention

Your personal data and code submissions are kept as long as your account remains active. If you request account deletion, all associated personally identifiable data (excluding anonymized public forum posts) will be permanently purged from our databases within 30 days.

5. Security

We implement industry-standard encryption and security protocols (e.g., HTTPS, password hashing) to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

You must be at least 13 years old to use the WhoJudge platform. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we discover that such data has been collected, it will be deleted immediately.

7. Policy Changes

If we make significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you via a platform announcement or email. Continued use of the service after modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

8. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to request data deletion, you can use the "Contact Us" form at the bottom of the site or email us directly at [email protected].
