Privacy Policy

Effective October 26, 2026

We built pockett to teach you to code, not to collect your data. This policy explains in plain language what we collect, why, who handles it, and the choices you have.

1.Who we are

pockett is a free site for learning to code, operated by Gameverse, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (ACC Entity ID 23816558), 8390 East Via de Ventura, Building F-100, Suite 307, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258, USA (“we”, “us”). We are the controller of the personal information described in this policy. You can reach us at support@pockett.ai.

2.Information we collect

Information you give us

You can use most of pockett without an account. If you create one, we collect:

  • Email address and password. Your password is handled by our authentication provider, which stores only a hash of it. We never see or store your password in readable form.
  • Display name, if you choose to enter one (up to 60 characters). If you leave it blank we use the first part of your email address.
  • Learning progress, so it can follow you between devices: experience points, streaks, which lessons you have completed, how many attempts they took, hints you have viewed, the code you submitted when you passed each lesson, and your in-progress drafts. Your sound on/off preference is saved with it.
  • Messages to us. If you email us, we keep the message and your address so we can reply.

Information stored on your device

pockett saves some things in your browser’s local storage so the site works and remembers you. This happens whether or not you have an account:

  • your progress, drafts and code (so work is not lost between visits);
  • your light or dark theme choice and your sound preference;
  • the code and language you last used in the Playground;
  • your workspace layout (the sizes of the editor and lesson panels);
  • if you are signed in, your sign-in session.

This information stays in your browser. Signed-out progress is never sent to us. You can remove it at any time by resetting your progress on the Dashboard or by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.

Information collected automatically

When you load the site, our hosting provider receives the technical details your browser sends with every request, such as your IP address, browser and device type, and the pages requested. Providers keep standard server logs for security and reliability. We do not run advertising trackers, and we do not use third-party analytics or advertising cookies.

Code you run

How your code is run depends on the language:

  • Python, JavaScript and SQL run entirely inside your browser, on your device. That code is not sent to our servers to be run.
  • C#, C++ and Go need a compiler, so when you press Run, the program you wrote (and any input it reads) is sent to our servers, compiled and run in an isolated, temporary sandbox with no network access, and the output is sent back to you. We do not save your program or its output, and we do not write them to our logs. The sandbox is operated for us by our hosting provider (Vercel) and is discarded shortly after use. We log only operational details about each run, such as the language, how long it took and whether it succeeded.

To limit abuse, we count how often each IP address uses the code runner. These counters are kept briefly in memory (for about a minute) and are not stored in a database.

Please do not put passwords, secrets or other people’s personal information into code you run.

3.How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • provide the lessons, the editor, the code runner and your account;
  • save and sync your progress across your devices;
  • send account emails, such as an email-confirmation link or a password-reset link (we do not send marketing email);
  • keep the service secure, prevent abuse and enforce our Terms of Service;
  • fix problems and improve the lessons and the site; and
  • comply with the law and respond to legal requests.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

5.Sharing and service providers

We share information only with the service providers that run pockett for us, and only as needed to provide the service:

  • Vercel: hosts the website, serves its pages, and operates the isolated sandboxes that run C#, C++ and Go code.
  • Supabase: provides account sign-in, sends our account emails and stores account and progress data in a database.
  • Content delivery networks (CDNs): some lessons and tools load open-source libraries (for example, the in-browser Python and SQL engines, the code editor, and Python packages) from public CDNs and package registries. Your browser requests these files directly, so those services see standard connection details such as your IP address.

We may also disclose information if we believe it is required by law, to protect the rights, safety or property of others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets (in which case we will tell you if your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different policy). We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.

6.How long we keep information

  • Account and progress data is kept while your account is open. When you delete your account (see Your rights and choices), we delete it from our database.
  • Code sent to the C#, C++ and Go runner is not stored after the run finishes.
  • Run counters used for rate limiting are held in memory for about a minute.
  • Server logs kept by our providers follow their own retention periods, which are typically short.
  • Emails you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and for a reasonable period afterwards.
  • Data in your browser stays until you clear it.

We may keep limited information longer where we are required to by law or need it to resolve disputes or enforce our terms. Deleted data may remain in provider backups for a limited time before it is overwritten.

7.Your rights and choices

You are in control of your information:

  • Reset your progress. On the Dashboard you can reset your progress. If you are signed in, this also removes your completed lessons, drafts and totals from our servers.
  • Clear data on your device. Signed-out progress, drafts and preferences live only in your browser. Clear this site’s data in your browser settings to remove them.
  • Access, correct, export or delete. Email support@pockett.ai from the address on your account to ask for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account and everything linked to it. We will verify it is you, and we aim to respond within 30 days.
  • Object or restrict. You can object to, or ask us to restrict, certain processing by emailing us.

Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, the UK, or California and other US states), you may have additional rights under local law, including the right to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

8.Children’s privacy

pockett is for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 and do not allow them to create accounts. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has given us personal information, please contact us at support@pockett.ai and we will delete it promptly. In some regions the minimum age to consent to data processing is higher than 13, and in those places you must meet that age or have your parent’s or guardian’s permission.

9.International transfers

We and our service providers may process and store information in the United States and other countries, which may have data protection laws different from those where you live. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as standard contractual clauses offered by our providers.

10.Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information. Connections to the site are encrypted, passwords are stored only as hashes by our authentication provider, each account’s progress data is restricted to its owner, and code sent to the runner executes in an isolated sandbox with no network access. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Choose a strong, unique password and keep it private.

11.Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes or as the law requires. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page, and for material changes we will give additional notice, such as a notice on the site. Using pockett after an update means you accept the updated policy.
