Night Owl School is a learning site for engineering students. This page explains what we collect and why, in plain words.
What you can do without an account
You can read notes, projects and roadmaps and use the resume builder as a guest without signing in. Your lesson progress and any guest resume are kept in your own browser. We do not see them.
What we collect when you create an account
- Your email address and, if you use Google sign-in, the basic profile details Google shares for signing in.
- A username (generated for you; you can change it).
- What you choose to save: bookmarks, saved resumes, lesson progress and content you submit for review.
- Basic technical data needed to keep the site safe, such as your network address for rate limiting sign-in attempts.
How we use it
- To sign you in and show you your saved items.
- To review and publish content you submit.
- To protect the site from abuse.
We do not sell your data and we do not show advertising.
Cookies, storage and visits
We use a sign-in cookie so you stay logged in, and your browser’s storage for your theme choice and guest progress. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party trackers. We count visits anonymously using a daily salted hash of your network address; no IP addresses or unique identifiers are ever stored.
Videos
Some pages include YouTube videos. They load only after you press play, using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Once you play a video, YouTube’s own policy applies to that video.
Services that help us run the site
Your data is stored with Supabase (database and sign-in) and the site is delivered through Vercel. Google is used only if you choose Google sign-in.
Your choices
- You can change your username and delete your account from your workspace. Deleting your account removes your login and profile.
- You can clear guest data at any time by clearing your browser’s site data.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above.
