Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 19, 2026

Overview

SophCode ("we," "us," or "our") operates the SophCode website. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Information Collection And Use

Data We Collect

  • Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with our site, including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and time spent.
  • Cookies: We use cookies to remember your preferences and track site performance.
  • Referrer Data: We see how you found us (Google, Reddit, etc.).
  • Contact Form: If you contact us, we collect your name and email.
  • Code Copy Activity: We track when codes are copied from our site ONLY. We do not track what you do with codes outside our website.

What We DON'T Collect

  • ❌ We don't know if a code actually worked for you
  • ❌ We don't track your account information on Sophia Learning
  • ❌ We don't sell your data to third parties
  • ❌ We don't share data with Sophia Learning
  • ❌ We don't use fingerprinting or advanced tracking

2. Use of Data

SophCode uses the collected data for various purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the Service
  • To notify you about changes to our Service
  • To provide customer care and support
  • To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our Service
  • To monitor the usage of our Service
  • To detect, prevent and address technical issues

3. Code Tracking Transparency

Important: We track how many times codes are copied from our website. This is NOT the same as:

  • ❌ Whether a code worked
  • ❌ How many people successfully used a code
  • ❌ Whether you entered the code on Sophia.org
  • ❌ Your personal redemption activity

Our copy count is a "freshness signal" to help users pick codes that other students haven't tried yet. Lower copy counts may indicate fresher codes, but this is not a guarantee of success.

4. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services
