Privacy Policy.

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and authentication credentials. If you sign up via GitHub OAuth, we receive your public GitHub profile information.

Coding Activity Data: Our VS Code extension collects coding session data including: session start/end times, duration, programming languages used, project names, file types, and editor events (keystrokes, saves, builds, debug sessions). We do not collect the content of your code.

Device Information: We may collect basic device metadata such as operating system, VS Code version, and extension version for compatibility and debugging purposes.

Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our dashboard, including pages visited and features used.

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain the Lync service
• Generate your coding analytics, streaks, and productivity insights
• Calculate achievements and track goals
• Improve and optimize our service
• Send essential service communications
• Detect and prevent abuse or unauthorized access

Your data is stored securely in our Supabase-hosted PostgreSQL database with encryption at rest and in transit. API keys are SHA-256 hashed before storage. We implement rate limiting, input validation, and access controls to protect your data.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. Upon account deletion, we schedule data removal with a 30-day grace period, after which all personal data is permanently deleted.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in these circumstances:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
• With service providers who assist in operating our service (e.g., hosting, analytics), bound by confidentiality agreements

Lync provides granular privacy controls through your profile settings:

• Project Name Anonymization: Replace project names with anonymous identifiers
• Sharing Controls: Control whether your activity is visible in team analytics
• Data Export: Request a full export of your data in JSON or CSV format
• Account Deletion: Delete your account and all associated data

We use essential cookies for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising trackers. Our service does not track you across other websites.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Export your data in a portable format
• Object to or restrict processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time

Lync is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please open an issue on our GitHub repository or contact us through the dashboard.
