Summary for Learners: Animate CS is an open, interactive educational platform. We do not
require account creation, sell your personal information, or track you across the web. Interactive state
data (like stack simulator values) is stored locally on your device.
01 Introduction & Overview
Welcome to Animate CS ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed
to protecting any information generated during your visits to our interactive learning platform.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you visit our website, use our
visual algorithm sandboxes, solve practice questions (PYQs), or interact with our learning modules.
02 Information We Collect
Because Animate CS is designed to be accessible without mandatory registration, data collection is kept
strictly minimal:
- Local Storage State Data: When you run simulations in our Universal Component
Simulator or interactive tree modules, state variables are processed locally in your browser's Local
Storage or Session Storage. This data never leaves your device.
- Voluntary Feedback & Communications: If you submit suggestions via our feedback
modal or contact our developers via email, we collect your provided email address and message
contents solely to respond to your inquiry.
- Automated Telemetry & Analytics: Standard server logs (IP addresses, browser type,
referring pages, time spent) may be collected automatically by our hosting providers to maintain
platform health and guard against malicious traffic.
03 How We Use Your Information
Any technical or operational data collected is utilized strictly for:
- Maintaining performance and responsiveness of visual animation components.
- Debugging platform errors or simulator underflow/overflow issues.
- Prioritizing upcoming CS subject tracks based on aggregate community voting.
- Ensuring site security and preventing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
04 Third-Party Libraries & Content Networks
To deliver fast vector graphics and smooth animations, Animate CS relies on trusted Content Delivery
Networks (CDNs):
- GSAP (GreenSock Animation Platform): Loaded via Cloudflare CDNJS to drive
step-by-step tree rotations and stack push/pop animations.
- Google Fonts & Material Symbols: Loaded to render typography and iconography.
Google may log user-agent and IP details strictly for web font delivery metrics.
We do not allow third-party behavioral tracking cookies or ad-network tracking scripts on our platform.
05 Data Rights & Local Controls
Under modern privacy standards (including GDPR, CCPA, and global digital data protection acts), you have
full control over your interactive environment:
- Clearing Simulator Memory: You can wipe all local simulator history at any time by
clearing your browser cache or browser site data for Animate CS.
- Feedback Data Removal: If you previously emailed us or submitted feedback and wish
to have your message deleted from developer records, simply send an email request to our development
team.
06 Children’s Privacy
Animate CS is an educational platform designed for students, computer science enthusiasts, and
developers. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you
believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, please contact us for immediate deletion.
