Privacy Policy

1. Data collected

When you sign in with Google, GitArena receives your name, email address, and a unique identifier from Google. This information is used to create and identify your account. GitArena does not receive your Google password and has no access to your Google account beyond what you explicitly grant during sign-in.

When you attempt a scenario, GitArena records the scenario identifier, your score, the individual assertion results, and the timestamp of the attempt. This data constitutes your progress history and is required for the platform to function.

GitArena also collects session metadata: start and end times, session status, and termination reason where applicable. This is used for infrastructure monitoring and platform improvement.

2. Data not collected

GitArena does not log terminal input. Commands typed, files edited, and shell history within a challenge session are not recorded or stored. The evaluator operates on the final state of your repository at submission time only.

GitArena does not use advertising networks, third-party analytics scripts, or session recording tools. No data is sent to Facebook, Google Analytics, or similar services.

3. Workspace snapshots

On submission, a snapshot of your repository state is taken and passed to the evaluator. This snapshot is stored in object storage for up to 24 hours and then permanently deleted. It is not used for any purpose other than evaluation.

Do not enter real credentials, API keys, or personal secrets inside a challenge workspace. The scenarios do not require sensitive material of this kind.

4. Cookies and authentication

Following sign-in, GitArena sets a single session cookie valid for up to 8 hours. The cookie is httpOnly and transmitted over HTTPS only. GitArena does not set tracking, preference, or third-party cookies.

Clearing your browser cookies will end your session. Your account and progress data are not affected.

5. Retention

Account and attempt data are retained for the lifetime of your account. Workspace snapshots are deleted within 24 hours of submission. Server logs containing IP addresses and request metadata are rotated after 30 days.

To request deletion of your account and associated data, contact patidarpriyansh936@gmail.com. Requests are processed within a reasonable timeframe and confirmed by reply.

6. Third-party processors

GitArena uses Google Firebase for authentication and a cloud infrastructure provider for hosting and object storage. Data is processed on these platforms as a necessary part of operating the service. No data is shared with any other third party, and GitArena does not sell personal data.
