Information Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade User Personal Information with third parties for commercial purposes.

We do share certain aggregated, non-personally identifying information with others about how our users, collectively, use Cordisys. For example, we may share information pertaining to the popularity of different programming languages for advertising partners.

We may use User Personal Information with your permission, so we can perform services you have authorized. For example, if you indicate you are looking for work, we may contact you with opportunities.

We may share User Personal Information with a limited number of third party vendors who process it on our behalf to provide or improve our service, and who have agreed to privacy restrictions similar to our own Privacy Statement. Our third party vendors are listed below.

Third Party Vendors

We may share your account information with third parties in some circumstances, including: (1) with your consent; (2) to a service provider or partner who meets our data protection standards; (3) for survey or research purposes, after aggregation, anonymization, or pseudonomization; (4) when we have a good faith belief it is required by law, such as pursuant to a subpoena or other legal process; (5) when we have a good faith belief that doing so will help prevent imminent harm to someone.

Data Storage

Cordisys uses third-party vendors and hosting partners for hardware, software, networking, storage, and related technology we need to run Cordisys. By using Cordisys Services, you authorize Cordisys to transfer, store, and use your information in the United States, China, EU and any other country where we operate. All service providers and third-party vendors are required to meet our data protection standards.

Site monitoring

Cordisys uses a variety of third-party services to diagnose errors and improve the performance of our site. We aim to minimize the amount of personal information shared, but the information may include your IP address or other identifying information. All service providers and third-party vendors are required to meet our data protection standards.

Payment processing

Cordisys does not process payments directly — we rely on third-party services such as Stripe to receive payments and store any payment information.

Third-Party Embeds

Some of the content that you see displayed on Cordisys is not hosted by Cordisys. These “embeds” are hosted by a third-party and embedded in Cordisys. For example: YouTube videos, Codepens, Twitter tweets, or GitHub code that appear within a Cordisys post. These files send data to the hosted site just as if you were visiting that site directly (for example, when you load a Cordisys post page with a YouTube video embedded in it, YouTube receives data about your activity). Cordisys does not control what data third parties collect in cases like this, or what they will do with it. Third-party embeds on Cordisys are not covered by this privacy policy; they are covered by the privacy policy of the third-party service. Be mindful when interacting with these services.

Tracking & Cookies

We use browser cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you return to our Services. Third-party vendors may also use cookies for various reasons.

Cordisys uses a specific cookie in order to facilitate the use of Google Universal Analytics for users logged-in to the Applications or the Platforms (“Logged-In User). If you are a Logged-In User, Cordisys may use your Cordisys user ID in combination with Google Universal Analytics and Google Analytics to track and analyze the pages of the Services you visit.

You may opt-out of this feature by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, by setting your web browser to refuse cookies, or by setting your browser to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you do so, note that some parts of the Site may not function properly.

Data Security

We use encryption (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted to and from our site. However, no data transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, so we can’t guarantee security. You use the Service at your own risk, and you’re responsible for taking reasonable measures to secure your account.

Deleting your personal information

You may request deletion of your personal information and account by emailing [email protected].

To protect information from accidental or malicious destruction, we may maintain residual copies for a brief time period. If you delete your account, we’ll ensure that nothing is stored on our servers once past 30 days. Anything you delete on your account while it’s active will also be purged within 30 days (up until then it’s available in the trash can).

Law enforcement

Cordisys won’t hand your data over to law enforcement unless a court order says we have to. We flat-out reject requests from law enforcement when they seek data without a court order. And unless we’re legally prevented from it, we’ll always inform you when such requests are made.

Changes and Questions

We reserve the right to revise this Privacy Policy at any time. If we change this Privacy Policy in the future, we’ll notify you about significant changes by emailing the account owner or by placing a prominent notice on our site.
