CodeGuppy Privacy Policy.
Last updated: October 23, 2026
CodeGuppy (codeguppy.com) is owned and operated by Inventika LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Inventika LLC", "we", "us"). Inventika LLC is responsible for the information collected through codeguppy.com as described in this Privacy Policy. Effective October 16, 2026, Inventika LLC operates CodeGuppy, and existing codeguppy.com accounts and the programs stored in them are maintained by Inventika LLC under this Privacy Policy.
codeguppy.com strives to teach kids, teens and adults computer coding using an online coding environment. We are committed to creating a safe and secure environment that family members can enjoy.
codeguppy.com is designed for users 13+ (13 years or older). Our system will prevent users who register with an email address from storing data (e.g. projects / programs) on codeguppy.com until the email address is confirmed. Users can store data only after they confirmed the email address by clicking on the link that is sent to them via the provided email address.
If you create an account with an email address, we collect the following information: email address and usage data (e.g. code projects / programs). Upon registration, we ask subscribers to provide their email address to act as authentication method to codeguppy.com service and receive communication. We also store all code projects / programs (e.g. usage data) that users create through the codeguppy.com features. Passwords are handled by Firebase Authentication and are not visible to us.
codeguppy.com offers an experimental feature enabling users to create an account by using a class code rather than an email address. A class code can be obtained by a teacher or coding club educator by contacting us. For these accounts we collect the username chosen at registration, the class code used to register and the code projects / programs created in the account. We recommend that students do not use their real name as their username. The minimum age described in our Terms of Use also applies to accounts created with a class code.
Other than the email address or username described above, we do not ask for information that directly identifies a person (such as real name, age, gender, address, phone number). We are not collecting pictures. Our environment doesn't allow uploading photos.
codeguppy.com does not use cookies for advertising or tracking. To keep you signed in, Firebase Authentication stores your sign-in session in your browser's local storage. You can remove it at any time by signing out or clearing your browser data.
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand website traffic and improve CodeGuppy. It does not use cookies or track individual visitors across websites. We do not use analytics for advertising or user profiling.
Some pages of codeguppy.com load content from third-party services, such as fonts from Google Fonts, JavaScript libraries from cdnjs and embedded videos from YouTube.

YouTube videos are embedded using YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode, which does not store YouTube cookies before you play a video; once you play a video, YouTube's privacy policy applies.
Users are free to create their own coding projects / programs. These programs are private within each account and are not listed or searchable on codeguppy.com. codeguppy.com is not offering any discussion boards, forums or social media like sharing features. There are no built-in mechanisms that allows users to discover, view or comment other users programs or interact with other users. codeguppy.com only provides unique Urls for programs that can be shared by users via email or other methods outside of codeguppy.com system. Anyone who has the Url of a program can open that program, so please share Urls only with people you trust and do not include personal information in your programs.
