Privacy Policy & Terms
Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to CodeWithAJoyDas — the home of our Code Snippet Manager and related developer tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our platform, whether you log in through GitHub, Google, or a custom account.
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your data. Our goal is to provide a transparent understanding of what information we collect, how we use it, and how you can manage or delete it. We follow standard industry practices to keep your information safe and never sell your data to third parties.
By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please stop using our website or services.
This policy applies to all users of our platform and covers all data interactions through our website, APIs, and integrated services.
Information We Collect
To provide our services efficiently and securely, CodeWithAJoyDas collects certain information from users. We only gather data that is necessary to deliver a personalized and seamless experience within our Code Snippet Manager and related developer tools.
1. Personal Information
When you sign up or log in using GitHub, Google, or our custom authentication system, we may collect basic personal details such as:
- Your name and username
- Email address
- Profile image or avatar (from GitHub or Google)
- OAuth access tokens (for authenticated integrations like Gists or repositories)
2. Usage Data
We automatically collect data about how you interact with our platform, which helps us maintain and improve our services. This includes:
- IP address and browser type
- Device information and operating system
- Pages visited, features used, and time spent on the platform
- Error logs or crash reports
3. Cookies and Tracking Data
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to store your session data, preferences, and authentication status. These cookies are essential for features like remembering your login and ensuring smooth navigation across the platform.
4. Data from Third-Party Services
When you connect your account with third-party services (such as GitHub or Google), we may access limited information from these platforms as permitted by their respective APIs. This may include your public profile information and repository access permissions.
We do not collect unnecessary or sensitive personal data, and we never sell or share your information with unauthorized third parties.
How We Use Information
CodeWithAJoyDas uses the information we collect solely to operate, improve, and secure our services. Every piece of data collected is intended to enhance your experience with our Code Snippet Manager and ensure a smooth, personalized, and reliable workflow.
1. To Provide and Maintain the Service
We use your account information to authenticate you, manage your sessions, and enable essential features such as snippet creation, saving, sharing, and synchronization across devices.
2. To Improve and Personalize User Experience
Usage patterns and analytics help us understand how users interact with our platform. This allows us to enhance performance, simplify navigation, and develop new features that suit the needs of our community.
3. To Communicate With You
We may use your contact information (such as email) to send important updates, service notifications, security alerts, or announcements about new features. We do not send promotional or irrelevant messages without consent.
4. To Ensure Security and Prevent Fraud
We analyze login activity and access logs to detect and prevent unauthorized access, account misuse, and other security threats. This may include verifying login attempts from new devices or IP addresses.
5. To Comply With Legal Obligations
In certain cases, we may process your information to comply with applicable laws, government requests, or enforceable regulatory requirements.
6. To Support Third-Party Integrations
If you authorize integrations (like GitHub), we use your OAuth tokens strictly to perform the specific actions you’ve allowed — such as creating or updating Gists or fetching repository information.
We use all data responsibly and only for legitimate operational purposes. We do not rent, trade, or sell user information to anyone.
How We Store and Protect Data
At CodeWithAJoyDas, we take data protection seriously. We implement modern security practices to ensure that your personal and usage information remains private, safe, and handled responsibly at all times.
1. Data Storage
Your information is stored securely on trusted cloud-based servers and databases that follow industry-standard encryption and data protection protocols. Depending on the service, this may include environments such as MongoDB Atlas, Firebase, or similar secured hosting platforms.
Authentication credentials (such as access tokens for GitHub or Google) are stored in encrypted form and never shared with unauthorized parties.
2. Encryption and Transmission
All data transmitted between your device and our servers uses HTTPS (SSL/TLS encryption) to prevent interception and tampering. Sensitive data such as login tokens or cookies are always transmitted and stored securely.
3. Access Control
Only authorized personnel have controlled access to the systems that store personal information. Access is granted on a need-to-know basis and is regularly reviewed for compliance and security.
4. Data Retention
We retain user data only for as long as necessary to provide our services or meet legal obligations. Once data is no longer needed, it is permanently deleted or anonymized.
5. Data Breach Prevention
We use firewalls, access monitoring, and real-time alert systems to detect and prevent unauthorized access or data breaches. In the unlikely event of a breach, affected users will be promptly notified as required by law.
6. Your Role in Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Avoid sharing passwords, access tokens, or authentication data with others. Always log out after use, especially on public or shared devices.
While we follow best practices for data protection, no system is completely immune to risks. However, we continuously monitor and enhance our security measures to safeguard your information.
Third-Party Services
CodeWithAJoyDas integrates several trusted third-party services to provide authentication, storage, analytics, and enhanced user experiences. These services may collect and process limited data as required to perform their functions. Each third-party provider has its own privacy policy that governs how your data is handled.
1. GitHub
When you choose to sign in or connect with GitHub, we access information allowed by your GitHub authorization — such as your public profile data, email, and repositories (if permitted). This enables features like creating or updating Gists and syncing code snippets. GitHub may independently collect usage data as described in its own privacy policy.
You can learn more by visiting GitHub’s Privacy Policy .
2. Google
We use Google for secure authentication (OAuth) and may access your public profile information such as name, email, and profile image. In some cases, Google Analytics may also be used to understand website traffic and usage patterns. No sensitive or private data is accessed without explicit consent.
Learn more at Google’s Privacy Policy .
3. Analytics and Logging Services
To maintain performance and monitor system health, we may use analytics or logging tools that collect non-identifiable information such as IP address, browser type, or session duration. This data helps us diagnose issues and improve platform stability.
4. Hosting and Infrastructure
Our servers and databases may be hosted through secure cloud providers such as MongoDB Atlas, Firebase, or Vercel. These services may have access to limited technical information required for hosting and delivering our application.
5. Responsibility and Limitations
While we carefully select reputable partners, we do not control how third-party services use or protect your data. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using integrated features. We are not responsible for actions or policies of third-party websites or applications.
Your continued use of our platform indicates your consent to the use of these services as outlined in their respective policies.

By using the platform, you agree to conduct yourself responsibly and to avoid any behavior that may damage our reputation or compromise security or performance.
Third-Party Links
Our website and applications may include links, integrations, or APIs provided by third-party platforms such as GitHub, Google, or hosting services. These external services are not owned or controlled by CodeWithAJoyDas. We do not endorse or assume responsibility for their content, policies, or data handling practices. When you access third-party resources from within our platform, your interaction is governed by that provider’s own Terms and Privacy Policy. You are encouraged to review those policies before using external integrations. We are not liable for any damages, data loss, or disputes arising from use of third-party services, even if accessed through our website. Some features, such as GitHub Gist sharing or Google authentication, depend on these providers’ availability; interruptions or changes on their end may temporarily affect our functionality. CodeWithAJoyDas may add or remove third-party integrations at any time for security, performance, or compliance reasons. Continued use of such features constitutes your agreement to abide by their respective terms of service.
Disclaimer of Warranty
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. CodeWithAJoyDas does not guarantee that the website, server, or software will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or meet your specific needs. While we take reasonable measures to ensure reliability and data safety, we cannot warrant that defects will be corrected or that the platform will always function without delay or disruption. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties related to merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. You use the platform at your own risk, and you acknowledge that occasional downtime or maintenance periods may occur. No oral or written information obtained from us shall create a warranty not expressly stated in these Terms. We will, however, make reasonable efforts to maintain uptime and transparency during incidents.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, CodeWithAJoyDas, its affiliates, and contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Service. This includes damages related to data loss, unauthorized access, interruptions, or system failures, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such losses. You acknowledge that software-based services inherently carry operational risks and that no system is immune to errors or outages. In jurisdictions that do not allow exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability, our liability shall be limited to the extent permitted by law. Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the Service is to discontinue use of the platform. By using CodeWithAJoyDas, you agree that any damages recoverable shall not exceed the amount you paid (if any) to access premium services during the twelve months preceding the claim.

Grounds for termination include, but are not limited to, illegal activity, abuse of resources, attempts to compromise security, or violations of intellectual property rights. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately, and we may delete your data, code snippets, or stored files without liability. Voluntary account termination by the user may be processed through settings or by contacting support. Certain provisions of these Terms, such as Intellectual Property, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law, will survive termination. We reserve the right to deny reinstatement of accounts previously banned for misconduct. Termination does not exempt users from outstanding obligations or legal responsibilities arising prior to account closure.
