DockSkill uses your email address to run your account and save learning progress. Your password is stored as a hash, never as plain text. This page lists what the site stores and how to reach the operator about it.
Account. Your email address, your password hash, the tier and role of your account, the date it was created and the time it was last used. If you sign in with Google, GitHub, Apple or LinkedIn, we store which provider and the identifier that provider gives us for you; we do not keep the provider's access tokens. A sign-in starts a session; we store only a hash of the session cookie and its expiry. Password reset and set-password links are stored as hashed, single-use tokens with their expiry.
Profile. Whatever you choose to add on your account page: display name, headline, country, language, bio, a chosen avatar, your specialization and your weekly lesson goal. All of these are optional.
Learning. Your answers to the quick checks in each lesson, the days on which you were active (the source of streaks), and the review state of any interview question you study as a flashcard.
Operator records. When an account is created, the operator's own customer system is sent your email address, your display name (if given) and an account identifier, with marketing opt-in set to off; your account keeps the identifier of that record. The same operator runs both systems, and that record is not passed on to anyone else.
If you sign up for email updates, we store your email address and optional campaign source. After you unsubscribe, we remove campaign details and retain the address with its opt-out date on a suppression list so you are not emailed again. Campaign details can also be remembered within the current browser tab. Email updates are marketing messages about DockSkill; they go only to addresses that signed up, and every one carries an unsubscribe link.
A sign-in cookie supports your account, and one cookie records the choice you make in the cookie notice. If you allow Functional cookies there, your browser also remembers the display theme and, for the current visit, the campaign link you arrived from; the language choice is a functional cookie set only when you pick a language. You can change your choice at any time from Your Privacy Choices at the bottom of every page. If you allow Performance cookies, we run analytics that count visits, traffic sources and which lessons are used, so we can measure and improve the site; analytics cookies are set only while that category is allowed and the data is aggregated. We set no Advertising cookies today; if we add any, they will be set only while that category is allowed. Marketing email is not controlled by cookies; you opt in when you sign up for updates. The only other optional third-party feature is the page translation described below.
The language menu in the header offers German, Italian, French and Japanese. English is the default: while English is selected, your browser does not contact Google for this feature.
If you choose another language, your browser loads Google’s Translate website widget from Google domains and sends the text of the public page you are viewing to Google LLC to be translated, along with the technical data any request carries, such as your IP address. This is available only on public pages (home, courses overview, specializations, terms, privacy, and the Japanese legal notice). It is never loaded on account, checkout, interview, sign-in, search or other private pages, and it is switched off on pages that show your own details while you are signed in. Once translation is active, following any link reloads the page rather than translating the next one in place.
Choosing a language sets a cookie named googtrans on this site, which both Google’s widget and our site read to remember your choice (a functional preference; to remove it, choose English from the language menu or, on pages where the menu is unavailable, the “Use English” button beside it, or delete the googtrans cookie in your browser settings). Google may set further cookies or storage of its own when its widget runs. Google handles that data under its own privacy policy. Machine translation can be inaccurate; the English text is authoritative.
You can edit or clear your profile fields on your account page at any time. There is no self-service button to delete an account yet: send a deletion request from the email address on your account to the contact address below, and the operator will delete the account. Deleting the account removes its sessions, progress, activity days, interview cards, social sign-in links and password tokens with it. A newsletter address stays on the suppression list after you unsubscribe, as described above.
For questions, access or deletion requests, write to info@dockskill.com. The operator's business details are on the legal notice.
