C++ IDE - Privacy Policy
How the C++ IDE for Android app handles your data.
Last updated: 6 August 2026
C++ IDE (“the app”) is developed by Shahid Khan. If you have any question about this policy, contact shahidkhan.dev88@gmail.com.
Using the app without an account
You can use the app without signing in. In that mode your projects, source code, compiler output and debugger sessions stay on your device. Nothing you write is uploaded, and the app works fully offline. Downloading exercise packs contacts our server to fetch the exercise content, but does not require an account and does not send us anything about you.
What we collect if you create an account
When you sign up or sign in we collect and store:
- Your display name, email address and password. These are sent to our own server to create and authenticate your account. We do not use a third-party sign-in provider.
- Chat messages you send. The app includes a chat where you can discuss an exercise with a teacher. Messages can carry a snapshot of the code file you were working on at the time, so the person helping you can see it. If you do not want a piece of code shared, do not send a message from that file.
- Solutions you upload. When you use the upload feature, the source code of your solution is sent to our server and stored against your account so you can retrieve it later and so a teacher can review it.
How your login is stored on your device
If you tick “Remember me”, your session token is saved in the app’s private storage so you stay signed in. If you do not tick it, the token is kept only in memory and is gone when the app closes. Signing out removes the saved token.
What we do not do
- We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties.
- We include no third-party advertising or analytics SDKs.
- We do not request or collect your location, contacts, camera, microphone, call logs, or any files outside the app’s own storage.
- We do not upload your code except in the two cases named above: a code snapshot attached to a chat message, and a solution you choose to upload.
Where your data goes
Account details, chat messages and uploaded solutions are stored on servers we operate. All requests are made over HTTPS.
How long we keep it, and how to delete it
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. To delete your account and everything stored with it, including chat messages and uploaded solutions, email shahidkhan.dev88@gmail.com from the address you signed up with. We will delete it within 30 days and confirm when it is done.
Full instructions, and a pre-filled request link, are on the account deletion page.
Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will remove it.
Security
We use HTTPS for all network requests. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes we will update this page and change the date at the top.
