What we collect

Application details include your name, email, GitHub username, skills, experience level, preferred role, and written answers. Accepted contributors may also provide a profile photo, biography, links, skills, project submissions, and work-session summaries.

What becomes public

Public contributor profiles may show your name, Codyza ID, role, biography, skills, rank, XP, streak, avatar, approved projects, and links you intentionally provide. Email addresses, application answers, admin status, internal review notes, pending work, and rejected submissions are not public.

Volunteer certificates

Members who qualify receive a certificate of volunteer service. It records their name, Codyza ID, when they joined, their rank, counts of approved projects and finished and reviewed tickets, teams they led, and up to three project names, as they were on the day it was issued. Each certificate has a code. Anyone who has the code can check it on our verify page, which shows those same details; certificates are never listed or searchable. We keep a copy of each issued certificate and its digital fingerprint so a file can be checked against the original. If you check a file, it stays on your device; only its fingerprint is sent. Members can ask us to withdraw a certificate at any time.

How we use information

We use this information to review applications, operate the contributor community, attribute approved work, maintain progress records, communicate with members, and protect the service.

Analytics

Codyza uses cookieless Vercel Analytics and lightweight product events to understand page performance and application flow. Analytics events do not include email addresses or application answers.

Your choices

Contributors may request that their public profile be hidden or corrected. For access, correction, or deletion requests, email team@codyza.com.
