Data Handling & Privacy Standards

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2026 • Security, storage, and telemetry practices

Important Security Notice & Data Storage Policy

Realm of Cloud stores authentication credentials using one-way cryptographic SHA-256 salting and in-browser state. Because this is an educational simulation platform:

Practice Sandbox Only: Do not submit real corporate passwords, live AWS/Azure/GCP secret keys, or confidential intellectual property into any terminal or editor.
No Liability for Breaches: In the event that user code, browser memory, or client storage is compromised, hacked, or leaked, the platform owner assumes zero liability.
No Job Representation: Usage data, scores, and certificates are not shared with employers for guaranteed recruitment.

1. Information We Collect

When registering an engineer account, we collect:

Full Name: Used exclusively to print on your verified Certificate of Mastery.
Username & Email: Used for account identity and session authentication.
Salted Password Hashes: Passwords are never stored in plain text; only salted SHA-256 hashes.
Security Questions: Answers are trimmed, normalized, and stored as cryptographic salted hashes.
Simulation Progress: Solved scenario IDs, XP transactions, and unlocked level records.

2. Local Storage and Cloud Synchronization

By default, all simulator filesystems (VFS), terminal histories, and scenario attempts execute client-side in your browser. When you create an account, progress is optionally synchronized to a secure Supabase cloud database so you can resume practice across different devices.

3. No Third-Party Tracking or Ads

Realm of Cloud does not sell your personal data, does not serve targeted advertisements, and does not sell user contact lists to third-party recruiters or commercial data brokers.
