Privacy Policy.

We collect minimal data to ensure optimal tool performance and personalization: 1. Account Information: If you register, we collect your email address and display name to track your simulator scores and progress. 2. Simulator Sessions: We save your simulator choices, mock exam scores, and terminal input history in your local browser storage (localStorage) so you can resume where you left off. 3. Technical Logs: Standard technical logs (IP address, user agent, browser type) are collected for security and performance optimization.

CloudCareerLabs relies on client-side storage and advertising cookies: - Local Storage: We use HTML5 Local Storage to persist your customized Kubernetes manifests, YAML validation records, and exam simulator checkpoints. No server transfer is performed for these local session variables unless you explicitly sync progress. - Performance Cookies: We use analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand platform traffic and optimize our tools. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising: - Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. - Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. - You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads). - Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (https://www.aboutads.info).

Under global regulations (GDPR / CCPA), you hold the following rights: - Right to Erasure: You can completely wipe your simulation history at any time. Simply use the 'Clear Session' utility within the simulator dashboards or clear your browser's local storage. - Secure Processing: All communications are encrypted using secure Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Databases and configurations are secured behind private subnets and firewalls.
