Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 21, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information Data Career School ("Data Career School", "we", "us" or "our") collects when you use datacareerschool.com, including our practice platform and Data Labs (together, the "Services"), how we use it, and the choices you have. By using the Services, you agree to this policy.

1. Information we collect

Account information. When you sign in with Google or LinkedIn, we receive your name, email address, profile picture (if you have one) and an account identifier from that provider. We never see or store your Google or LinkedIn password. We also record when your account was created and when you last signed in.

Practice activity.SQL queries you write on the practice platform run inside your own browser and are not sent to our servers. The questions you solve are saved to your account so your progress follows you across devices. An unfinished query saved while you sign in is kept in your browser's local storage on your device.

Data Labs.You need to be signed in to download a lab's datasets, and to have Premium for Premium labs. When you post a solution, we store the link to your public GitHub repo with your account and show it, with your name and profile picture, to other logged-in learners. You can update or remove it at any time. If you use AI grading once it is available, we read the public contents of that repo to grade it.

Premium and payments. Payments for Premium are processed by Razorpay. You give your card or UPI details to Razorpay, not to us, and we never see or store them. Razorpay tells us your subscription ID, its status and when the current billing period ends, which we store with your account to give you Premium.

Discussion posts.When you post in a question's discussion, your post, your name and your profile picture are visible to other logged-in learners. You can edit or delete your own posts at any time.

Applications and messages. If you apply to our program through our application form or email us, we receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, contact details and background.

Usage information. We use analytics tools to understand how the Services are used. These may collect the pages you visit, the site that referred you, your device and browser type, and your approximate location based on your IP address.

Embedded content. Some pages include content from other services, such as YouTube and Google Drive videos and Spotify episodes, and the practice platform loads its SQL engine from the jsDelivr network. These providers may receive your IP address and set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.

2. How we use your information

  • To create and secure your account and keep you signed in.
  • To provide, maintain and improve the Services and their content.
  • To review applications and respond to your questions.
  • To send you messages about your account and, where you have agreed or the law allows, updates about our programs. You can opt out of marketing messages at any time.
  • To understand usage, fix problems and prevent abuse or misuse of the Services.
  • To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Cookies and local storage

We use a small number of cookies and similar technologies:

  • Essential: sign-in cookies that keep you logged in. The Services cannot work properly without them.
  • Local storage: keeps an unfinished query on your device while you sign in.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors find and use the site. It runs only where you have agreed to it. We never use cookies for advertising.

We also keep a simple count of page views that sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device and reports totals rather than individuals. It tells us which pages are read, not who read them, so it runs for everyone.

In India, the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, Switzerland and Brazil, we ask before any analytics cookies are set. Nothing is set until you choose, and refusing takes a single click. Elsewhere, including the United States, they are on by default, which this policy tells you about, and you can turn them off whenever you like.

Either way, the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page opens your choices and takes effect immediately.

You can also clear or block cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Doing so may sign you out, but your progress stays saved to your account.

4. How we share your information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the Services, and only as needed for them to do so:

  • Supabase, for sign-in and account storage.
  • Vercel, for website hosting and analytics.
  • Google, for sign-in, analytics and our application form.
  • LinkedIn, for sign-in.
  • Razorpay, to take and manage payments for Premium. Razorpay processes your information under its own privacy policy.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, safety or property of Data Career School, our users or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.

When you choose to share a solution on LinkedIn, you post it yourself on LinkedIn, and that post is governed by LinkedIn's terms and privacy policy. We never post on your behalf.

5. How long we keep your information

We keep account information for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, unless we need to keep some of it to meet legal obligations, resolve disputes or prevent abuse. Application information is kept for as long as needed to evaluate and manage your application.

6. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and trusted infrastructure providers. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. International transfers

Our service providers may store and process information in countries other than the one you live in, including the United States and India. Where we transfer information across borders, we rely on providers that apply appropriate safeguards.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • Delete your account and personal information.
  • Withdraw consent or object to certain uses of your information.
  • Receive a copy of your information in a portable format.

To make a request, email us at amlanmohanty.info@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Children

The Services are intended for people aged 18 and older. People under 18 may use them only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without that consent. If you believe a child has given us information without it, please contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, give notice on the site or by email. Continuing to use the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
