DevReward Privacy Policy

What DevReward is

DevReward is a Chrome extension and a website that list free certifications, hackathons and scholarships, with their deadlines. Anyone can browse and save listings. Signing in is only needed to submit a listing.

The Chrome extension

• You do not need an account to browse listings, save them, or get deadline reminders.
• Your saved listings and reminder choices are stored on your own device, in Chrome's extension storage. They are not sent to us.
• To show listings, the extension requests public listing data from our database, which is hosted by Supabase. As with any internet request, this reveals your IP address to the server. We do not use it to identify you.
• Deadline notifications are created on your device.
• The extension does not read the pages you visit, does not collect your browsing history, and contains no analytics, advertising or trackers.

The website (sign in and submit)

If you sign in, we receive your email address. If you sign in with Google, we also receive your name and profile picture. If you submit a listing, we store what you enter (title, link, type, deadline, who can apply, what is free) together with your account ID.

We use this information to sign you in, to show you your own submissions, to let a reviewer approve or reject submissions (the reviewer can see your display name), and to prevent spam and duplicates. Approved listings are shown publicly without your name or email.

Who processes data

We use Supabase (database and sign-in), Vercel (website hosting) and Google (Sign in with Google). These providers process data on our behalf and may keep standard technical logs, such as IP addresses. We do not sell your data, show ads, or share it with anyone else, except where the law requires it.

Limited use of data

DevReward's handling of the data described above follows the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. We use data only to provide the extension's single purpose (showing free opportunities and reminding you of deadlines you saved). We do not sell it or transfer it to others, except to the service providers listed above, as needed to provide that purpose, or where the law requires it. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not let people read it except where needed for security, to follow the law, or with your consent.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep your account and submissions until you ask us to delete them. To delete your account, email us at the address below. We will delete your account and profile. Listings you submitted that are already public may stay on the board, but they will no longer be linked to you. Removing the extension deletes everything it stored on your device.

Security

Connections use HTTPS. Access rules in our database make sure that pending submissions and profile details can be seen only by their owner and by reviewers. No online service is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

DevReward is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

About the listings

Listings are submitted by the community and checked by a reviewer, but details can change or be wrong. Always confirm the deadline, eligibility and cost on the official page before you apply.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page.
