Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Syntax Sprint (“we”, “us”) handles personal data. We've tried to keep it in plain English. If anything is unclear, email us at support@syntaxsprint.io.

What Syntax Sprint is

Syntax Sprint is a web app for practising data and coding questions — short drills that build recall of pandas, Python, SQL, and similar syntax. You read a prompt, type a one-line answer, and we tell you whether it's right and schedule it to come back later.

What data we collect

• Account data. If you sign up, we store your email address and authentication details. We may store a display name if you provide one, and, if you join the waitlist, the email and optional name you submit.
• Product usage data. Your practice activity — which drills you saw, whether your answers were correct, how long you took, your streaks and progress. This is what makes spaced repetition and your stats work.
• Analytics data (optional). If you accept analytics cookies, we use a third-party analytics provider to collect product and web analytics: pages viewed, events like starting a drill or submitting an answer, approximate location (from IP, not stored as a precise location), device/browser type, and a randomly generated analytics ID.
• Session replay (optional). If you accept analytics, our analytics provider may record a replay of your session (mouse movement, clicks, and navigation) so we can see where the interface is confusing. All input fields are masked, so the text you type — answers and passwords — is not recorded.

What we deliberately do not collect

• We do not store password fields or the raw free-text you type into answer boxes. Your answer is checked on our application server and discarded; we retain only metadata — question ID, topic, difficulty, whether you were correct, and time taken.
• We do not intentionally collect special-category (“sensitive”) personal data (such as health, ethnicity, religion, or political views). Please don't enter such information into the app.

Who processes your data

We use trusted third-party providers to run Syntax Sprint. They process data on our behalf under their own security and data-processing terms:

• Authentication & database provider — stores your account and practice data and keeps you signed in.
• Analytics provider — product/web analytics and session replay (only if you accept analytics).
• Hosting provider — hosts and delivers the website.

Some providers may process data outside the UK/EEA under appropriate safeguards.

Why we use your data and our legal basis

• To run your account and the core product (sign-in, saving progress, scheduling drills). Legal basis: performance of a contract with you, and our legitimate interests in operating and securing the service.
• For analytics and session replay to understand usage and improve the product. Legal basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time. If you don't consent, none of this runs and you can still use the whole product.
• To communicate with you about access, security, or important changes. Legal basis: legitimate interests or contract.

You can reject analytics and still use the product

Analytics and session replay are entirely optional. If you reject them, the core product works exactly the same. You can change your choice any time from the Cookie Policy page.

How long we keep data

We keep account and practice data for as long as your account is active. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider's retention settings. You can ask us to delete your data at any time (see below).

Your rights

Depending on your location (including under UK GDPR), you have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your personal data, and to data portability. To request an export or deletion of your data, or to exercise any other right, email support@syntaxsprint.io and we'll action it within the timeframes required by law.

If you're in the UK and think we've mishandled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk — though we'd appreciate the chance to put things right first.

We do not sell your personal data

We do not sell your personal data, and we don't share it for third-party advertising.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product evolves. We'll change the “last updated” date above and, for significant changes, aim to give you notice.
