CodeGrind supports Google Sign-In as an account authentication option. If you choose Google Sign-In, CodeGrind uses the Google account email address and the Google account identifier returned during authentication to create your CodeGrind account, sign you in, or link Google Sign-In to an existing CodeGrind account.
That Google account data is used only for authentication, account linking, and account security inside CodeGrind.
At CodeGrind, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We collect the following information:
We do not collect personally identifiable information such as your name, date of birth, address EVER. Unless you use your name or other personal details in your username, email or profile bio, in which case that information is voluntarily shared by you and visible to other users (username and profile bio).
If you choose to connect or sign in with Discord, we request access to basic Discord account data and server membership status. This allows us to link your CodeGrind profile and power Discord community features.
We use this information to link your account, show your Discord profile on CodeGrind (when connected), and (if you opt in and are in the guild) post announcements such as solves, level-ups, and achievements.
If you use Discord tournament or challenge features, we may store Discord user IDs for invites/participants and Discord message or thread IDs for those events.
If you use the Discord AI Q&A bot, we process your message content to generate a response and store rate-limit counters keyed to Discord user IDs to prevent abuse.
For users who choose to sign in using Google, we only request and collect:
We do not request or have access to any additional Google account information, other Google services, or extended permissions. The collected information is used solely for account authentication and communication purposes.
The information we collect is used to:
When you use AI features (e.g., hints, refinements, AI problem generation, or Discord AI Q&A), we process your prompts, code, and related context to generate responses. This content may be sent to third-party AI providers to fulfill your request.
For reliability and abuse prevention, we may log diagnostic data such as prompt previews, code snippets, request timing, and error details. Logs are used for debugging and performance monitoring.
If you use CodeGrind without an account, we issue a guest token so you can access limited features. We store a hashed version of the guest token plus hashed IP and user-agent values to help prevent abuse.
Guest data is tied to usage limits (e.g., chat/refinement usage) and expires after a short period.
CodeGrind uses Stripe to handle all payment processing. When you make a purchase, you transfer to a Stripe hosted page where your payment information is securely transmitted directly to Stripe. We do not store or have access to your credit card details or banking information. We do keep stripe related information such as subscription status, membership tier.
