Welcome to DarkCode ("the Application"), a mobile app provided by Mallick BM ("we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use DarkCode. By installing or using DarkCode, you consent to the practices described in this Policy.
We collect certain non-personally identifiable information that does not directly identify you, including:
Device Information: Device type, operating system version, device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID), mobile network information, and approximate location data (country or region).
Usage Data: Data on how you use DarkCode, including features accessed, time spent on screens, navigation patterns, performance data, and crash logs.
Aggregated and Anonymized Data: We may combine and anonymize data for analytics and improvement purposes. This data cannot be used to identify any individual.
DarkCode includes a quiz feature that uses the Gemini 2.0 Flash AI model (developed by Google) to dynamically generate quizzes about programming languages.
No User Input Collection: DarkCode does not collect or store the specific prompts or answers you may interact with during quiz generation.
Content Generation: Quiz content is generated within the app and is not permanently associated with individual users.
Third-Party AI Model: Gemini 2.0 Flash’s handling of data is governed by Google's privacy practices. We encourage you to review Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) for further details.
We use the collected information for legitimate purposes, including:
To operate and improve the functionality of DarkCode, including enhancing the quiz generation experience.
To personalize content and improve user engagement based on general usage patterns.
To perform data analytics and research for feature development and improvements.
To maintain app security, troubleshoot technical issues, and prevent fraudulent activity.
To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our rights.
We do not sell or rent your information. However, we may share non-personal information in the following cases:
Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party partners for services like analytics, crash reporting, and infrastructure support. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data.
Business Transfers: If DarkCode is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if legally required to do so (e.g., in response to court orders, government regulations, or law enforcement requests).
Non-personal information is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy.
Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely for research and analytical purposes.
No personally identifiable user data related to AI-generated quizzes is stored.
We take reasonable and appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
DarkCode is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 years of age (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly delete it.
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your data, including:
Right to access, correct, or delete your data.
Right to object to or restrict certain processing activities.
Since DarkCode processes only non-personal, anonymized data, many of these rights may not be directly applicable. However, you are welcome to contact us at any time regarding privacy concerns (see Section 11).
DarkCode may contain links to third-party websites, services, or content. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
Your information may be processed and stored on servers located in countries outside your own. By using DarkCode, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries in compliance with applicable laws.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy in DarkCode and revising the "Effective Date" above. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Policy.
