Privacy Policy

AlgoTrace is operated by an individual based in India ("we", "us", "our"). We operate the algotrace.tech website and the AlgoTrace Chrome Extension (collectively, the "Service"). Contact: support@algotrace.tech

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use the Service, how we use it, with whom we share it, and the rights you have over it. By using the Service, you acknowledge this policy.

a) Account data. When you sign up, we collect your email address. If you use OAuth (Google or GitHub), we also receive your display name and profile picture from that provider.

b) Usage data. Chat messages, AI responses, LeetCode problem slugs and titles, session history, notebooks, TraceBoards, and other content you create while using the Service.

c) Extension data. The AlgoTrace Chrome Extension generates and stores a random device identifier (device ID) locally and on our servers. It reads the LeetCode problem page you are viewing (problem slug, title, difficulty, visible code) only when you use AlgoTrace features on that page. It does not access any other websites or browser data.

d) Payment data. Your billing email and subscription status. We do not store your card number or payment credentials — these are handled directly by Razorpay (India) or Dodo Payments (international).

e) Technical data. Your IP address (used briefly at session start for country-level geo-detection to select the appropriate payment provider), browser type and version.

• ·To provide the Service: your messages are sent to a third-party AI model API to generate responses.
• ·To manage your account and subscription.
• ·To send transactional emails: billing confirmations, password resets, and account notices.
• ·To detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
• ·To improve the Service through aggregate, anonymised analytics — we do not profile individual users.

AlgoTrace uses third-party large language model (LLM) APIs to generate AI responses. Your chat messages and problem context are transmitted to these APIs for this purpose.

We do not use your conversations to train AI models. Your chats are sent to LLM APIs solely to generate responses and are subject to the AI provider's privacy terms. AI responses are generated automatically and may not always be accurate — see our AI Disclosure.

We share your data only with the following parties, all acting as data processors on our behalf:

• ·LLM API providers — to generate AI responses.
• ·Supabase — authentication and database infrastructure.
• ·Razorpay — payment processing for users in India.
• ·Dodo Payments — payment processing for international users. Dodo Payments acts as Merchant of Record and is an independent data controller for tax and billing compliance.
• ·Law enforcement or government authorities where required by applicable law.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party, ever.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are legally required to retain certain records (e.g. payment records are retained for 7 years under Indian accounting law).

We are based in India. Your data may be processed in the United States or European Union by our service providers (LLM API providers, Supabase). These transfers are governed by the respective providers' standard contractual clauses and applicable data protection agreements.

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU/EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children below these ages. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact support@algotrace.tech and we will delete it promptly.

The AlgoTrace Chrome Extension specifically collects and transmits to our servers:

• ·A randomly generated device identifier (device ID) for authentication and session management.
• ·LeetCode problem data (title, slug, difficulty) from leetcode.com/problems/* pages you visit.
• ·Your visible code editor content on leetcode.com when you send a message or request a hint.
• ·Your chat messages and the AI responses.

The extension operates only on leetcode.com problem pages. It does not access any other website or any other browser tabs.

We use only strictly necessary browser storage: authentication session tokens (via Supabase) and your theme preference (localStorage). We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify paid subscribers by email of material changes. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
