Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how LiveCoder ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our service at livecoder.net. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

a. Google OAuth Data

When you sign in with Google, we receive and store the following information from your Google account:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your profile picture

This information is used solely to create and manage your LiveCoder account and to display your identity within the application.

b. Session Cookies

We use session cookies to maintain your authenticated state while you use the Service. These cookies are essential for the Service to function and are not used for tracking or advertising purposes.

c. Session and Code Data

When you create or participate in a coding session, we temporarily store the code written during that session along with related session metadata (such as session title, language, and participant information). This data is used to power real-time collaboration and session replay features. All session data is automatically expired and deleted 30 days after session creation.

2. Payment Processing

Credit purchases are processed through Lemon Squeezy, our third-party payment provider. We do not collect, store, or have access to your payment card details, bank account information, or other financial data. All payment processing is handled entirely by Lemon Squeezy in accordance with their own privacy policy and security standards.

3. Analytics

We use PostHog (product analytics) and Sentry (error monitoring) to understand how the Service is used and to improve the user experience. PostHog collects anonymized usage data such as pages visited, buttons clicked, and general interaction patterns. Sentry collects error reports and performance data to help us fix bugs. No code content or personal data is included in error reports. We do not send your code content, payment details, or full email address to any analytics service. User identification in analytics is based on internal account IDs, not personal information.

We do not use advertising platforms or share analytics data with third parties for marketing purposes. The third-party services involved in operating the Service are: Google (authentication), Lemon Squeezy (payment processing), PostHog (product analytics), and Sentry (error monitoring).

You can opt out of PostHog tracking by using a browser extension such as an ad blocker or privacy tool that blocks requests to us.i.posthog.com.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Authenticate you and manage your account
• Provide the real-time collaborative coding experience
• Enable session replay and review within the 30-day retention window
• Process credit purchases and manage your credit balance
• Communicate with you about your account if necessary
• Collect anonymized usage data to improve the Service

5. Data Retention

Your account information (name, email, profile picture) is retained for as long as your account exists. Session data, including code and replay information, is automatically deleted 30 days after session creation. Credit purchase records are retained for accounting and support purposes.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. Code execution runs in sandboxed environments isolated from the main application infrastructure. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request account deletion: You can request that your account and all associated data be permanently deleted by contacting us via email.
• Request data export: You can request an export of your personal data by contacting us via email.
• Revoke Google access: You can revoke LiveCoder's access to your Google account at any time through your Google account settings.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
