Privacy Policy

We collect information you choose to give us when you use our forms or contact us, including:

• Your name and email address.
• Optional details such as your university or college, graduation year, number of LeetCode problems solved, target companies, and your biggest learning challenge.
• Class registration details and any message or question you write to us.
• Information you share when you contact us by email or WhatsApp, such as your phone number and message content.

• To provide mentoring, tutoring, and personalized DSA roadmaps.
• To schedule sessions and tell you about upcoming classes you registered for.
• To respond to your questions and enquiries.
• To understand what students need so we can improve our classes and content.

When you share coding questions, code, text, screenshots, images, or assignment details, we use them only to help you learn and to prepare for or run your session. We do not publish your materials or share them with other students without your permission. Please avoid sharing passwords, exam answers you are not allowed to share, or other sensitive personal information. Our goal is to help you build your own problem-solving skills, not to complete graded work on your behalf.

We do not currently use advertising trackers or third-party analytics cookies on this website. Our hosting provider may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address and browser type) needed to deliver and secure the site. If we add analytics or cookies in the future, we will update this policy first.

We do not collect or store card or bank details on this website. If you pay for a session, payment arrangements are made directly with you, and any payment provider used will handle your payment details under its own privacy policy.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with services that help us run Hikmatica, such as:

• Our website hosting and secure database provider, which stores form submissions.
• WhatsApp, if you choose to contact us there (subject to WhatsApp's own privacy policy).
• YouTube, when you watch our embedded or linked videos (subject to Google's privacy policy).
• Video-meeting or email tools used to deliver sessions and reply to you.

We may also disclose information if required by law.

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including limiting who can view form submissions. No method of storing or sending data online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We keep your information only as long as needed to provide our services and respond to you, or as required by law. You can ask us to delete it at any time. [Optional: specific retention period, e.g. 24 months after last contact]

Our services are intended for college and university students. If you are under 18 (or the age of majority where you live), please use our services with the knowledge and permission of a parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Depending on where you live — including under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and applicable US state laws — you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your information.
• Withdraw consent or opt out of future communications.

To make a request, email us using the contact details below. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.

We serve students in India, the USA, and elsewhere. Your information may be stored or processed in countries other than your own, where our service providers operate. We take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
