Privacy Policy

Who operates this site?

Readsfyi, USA, operates Python Studio at reads.fyi. For privacy questions or requests, email reads072025@gmail.com.

Code, input, and saved programs

Python runs in your browser using Pyodide, not on our application server. New drafts, prepared input, starred local programs, and interview practice progress are stored in this browser. Clearing site data can remove them.

When you sign in and choose Save, we store the program name, source code, prepared input, starred status, timestamps, and revision information with your account identifier in our database. Saved programs can be reopened on other devices. Signing in alone does not upload all local drafts. Unsynced edits may be cached in your browser for recovery.

Account programs are not public, but they are not end-to-end encrypted: authorized service operators and infrastructure providers may access stored data to operate or support the service. Do not store passwords, API keys, or other sensitive information in code or input.

Share links contain the shared source code. Anyone with the link can read it. Python code can make browser-permitted network requests; review unfamiliar code before running it.

Accounts, reviews, and technical information

Our sign-in provider processes account identity information such as your email, name, profile image, provider identifiers, and session information. Signing in is optional.

Reviews contain your star rating and any optional display name or comment you submit. Approved reviews are publicly visible. To limit abuse, we store a daily hash derived from the submitting network address; our review database does not store the raw address for that purpose.

Hosting and other providers may process network addresses, browser information, request logs, and security information. We use this information to deliver the service, diagnose failures, prevent abuse, and respond to requests.

Cookies and analytics

Browser storage keeps local programs, preferences, practice progress, and recovery data. Authentication uses cookies or similar storage to maintain sessions. Google Analytics and Replit analytics measure visits and feature usage, and may use cookies or similar identifiers.

Our custom analytics events do not intentionally include source code, prepared input, filenames, or account contact details. Automatic analytics are separate and may process page URLs and technical information. Do not put sensitive information in URLs. Google advertising personalization and Google signals are disabled in our site configuration.

You can block analytics with browser privacy tools and manage cookies through browser settings. Blocking session cookies may prevent sign-in; clearing browser storage may delete local drafts. This site does not currently provide an in-app analytics consent control.

Service providers

• Replit: hosting, database infrastructure, authentication integration, and site analytics.
• Clerk: sign-in, identity, and session management. Your selected identity provider also processes sign-in information under its own policy.
• Google: Google Analytics, Google Fonts, and Google sign-in when selected.
• jsDelivr: delivery of the Pyodide runtime. Loading external fonts or runtime assets sends normal network request information to those providers.

Providers may process information outside your state or country. Information may also be disclosed where legally required or necessary to protect the service or others.

Retention, security, and your choices

We retain account programs and reviews to provide those features, and technical records as needed for security, operations, and legal obligations. There is no single fixed retention period for all data. Deleted information may remain temporarily in infrastructure backups or records retained for legal or security purposes.

We use HTTPS and account-based access controls. No service can guarantee complete security or uninterrupted storage; keep your own copies of important programs.

You can download program copies and delete Saved programs in the app. Deleting a Saved program removes it from active account storage across devices; clearing browser data does not delete account programs. To request account deletion, access, correction, review removal, or other privacy assistance, email reads072025@gmail.com. We may verify ownership before acting. Rights and exceptions depend on applicable law, including applicable United States federal and state privacy laws.

Children and policy changes

This service is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and address it. If you are a minor, use the service with a parent or guardian as required by applicable law.

Updates will appear on this page with a revised date. We will provide any additional notice required by applicable law.
