// the short version

  • No ads, no trackers

    We don't sell your data and there are no ad or analytics trackers on the site.

  • Only what we need

    Your Google name, email and photo, plus what you choose to add and what you learn.

  • Refund within 2 days

    Ask within 2 days of your Pro being approved and we refund. After 2 days, no refund.

  • Content is open

    Read, learn and share links freely. Just don't copy whole lessons to republish or sell.

Privacy Policy

What we collect

  • Your account: when you sign in with Google we get your name, email address and profile photo. We don't see your Google password.
  • Your profile: anything you add yourself, like a phone number, district, interests and where you are in your journey.
  • Your learning: which lessons and sections you finish, your XP, streak and practice progress, and the reviews you write.
  • Payments: the plan, the bKash or Nagad number you paid from and the transaction ID, so we can check the payment by hand.
  • Scholarship requests: the phone number and the message you send us.
  • Careers: the jobs you apply to and the note you add. A company account also gives us its company details and job posts.

How we use it

  • To run your account and remember your progress across devices.
  • To check payments and scholarship requests, and turn Pro on.
  • To send emails you need: payment approved or rejected, scholarship decisions, sign-in and account notices. No newsletters you didn't ask for.
  • To show the leaderboard and careers features you use.

We never sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising.

Who can see what

  • Everyone: on the leaderboard and your public profile, your display name, username, photo, XP and streak. Admin and company accounts are never ranked.
  • Companies: when you apply to a job, that company sees your application and profile.
  • Our admins: payments, scholarship requests and account details, only to run the platform.
  • Nobody else: your phone number, payment details and scholarship message are never shown publicly.

We use a few services to run the site: Google for sign-in, an email provider to send mail, and our own server where the database lives. They only get what they need for that job.

Cookies and local storage

  • A sign-in cookie keeps you logged in, and a security cookie protects your account from forged requests.
  • Your browser remembers small choices on your device, like your theme and whether you closed the announcement bar.

No tracking or advertising cookies.

Your data, your choice

  • Want a copy of your data, or your account deleted? Reply to any email from Coding Foding and we'll do it. Some payment records may be kept for accounting.
  • We keep your data while your account is active and delete it when you ask us to.

Terms & Refunds

Using Coding Foding

  • One account per person. Keep it to yourself and don't share your Pro access.
  • Be kind: no abuse, spam, cheating the leaderboard or fake job posts. We may suspend accounts that break this.
  • Company accounts must post real jobs. We review posts before they go live.

Our content is open

  • Part 1 of every course is free for everyone. Pro opens the rest.
  • You're welcome to read, learn from, share links to and quote short parts of our lessons, with credit to Coding Foding.
  • Please don't copy whole lessons, diagrams or problem sets to republish or sell somewhere else.
  • Code you write while learning is yours.

Payments and Pro

  • You pay by bKash or Nagad Send Money and give us the transaction ID. We check it by hand.
  • Pro starts on the day we approve your payment, not the day you paid: monthly is 30 days, yearly is 365 days.
  • Nothing renews on its own. When Pro ends you go back to Free; your progress stays.

Refunds

  • Changed your mind? Ask within 2 days of your Pro being approved and we'll refund the full amount to the number you paid from.
  • After 2 days we can't refund, for any reason.
  • To ask, reply to your payment-approved email with your transaction ID.
  • Pro you got through a scholarship or a free grant has nothing to refund.

Changes to this policy

We can update this Privacy Policy and these Terms at any time, without notice. So please keep an eye on this page and check it before you pay, apply or start anything new.

The date at the top always shows the latest version. Using Coding Foding after a change means you accept the updated version.
