Privacy Policy — CodingTestKit

Last updated: 2026-04-28

CodingTestKit is an IntelliJ IDE plugin that helps users fetch, test, and submit algorithm problems from public competitive programming platforms. This document describes what data the plugin handles and where it goes.

Summary

  • No data is sent to any server owned by the plugin author.
  • No analytics, telemetry, or tracking.
  • All secrets (site login cookies, GitHub access tokens) are stored locally using IntelliJ's PasswordSafe (the OS keychain on macOS / Windows Credential Manager / KWallet or an encrypted file store on Linux).
  • Non-secret settings (usernames, repository name, feature toggles) are stored in IntelliJ's per-user settings directory like any other plugin state.

Data stored on your machine

Item Where Purpose
Site login cookies (Programmers, SWEA, LeetCode, Codeforces) PasswordSafe Authenticate when submitting or listing your solved problems.
GitHub personal access token PasswordSafe Push accepted solutions to your repository, if configured.
Usernames, repository name, feature toggles IntelliJ settings XML Remember your preferences between sessions.
Fetched problem HTML, test cases, images Project files you opened in your IDE Let you view and solve problems offline.

Network requests the plugin makes

The plugin communicates only with the following first-party endpoints, and only when the user triggers the corresponding feature:

  • https://school.programmers.co.kr/ — Programmers problem fetch, search, submit.
  • https://swexpertacademy.com/ — SWEA problem fetch, search, submit.
  • https://leetcode.com/ — LeetCode problem fetch, search, submit, solved lookup.
  • https://codeforces.com/ — Codeforces problem fetch, search, submit.
  • https://api.github.com/ — GitHub repo listing and push (only if GitHub integration is enabled).
  • https://translate.googleapis.com/ — optional problem title / description translation (only if you click the Translate button).

No other network destinations are contacted. No payload from your machine is sent anywhere else.

Optional feedback form (Google Forms)

The Settings tab includes a "Report Bug / Suggest Feature" button that opens a Google Form (https://forms.gle/Qqi5gDoHSi2HU1Xs5) in your default browser. The plugin itself does not transmit any data to Google Forms — the form opens only when you click the button, and any data you choose to submit is entered manually by you on Google's website. Google's own privacy policy applies once you are on the form page. The form supports anonymous submission; no personally identifiable information is required.

Third-party content

All problem content fetched by the plugin remains copyrighted by its respective platform. Content is stored only in local project files for the user's personal study. The plugin does not redistribute, republish, or transmit fetched content to any other party.

Removing stored data

  • Log out per platform from CodingTestKit → Settings → Login to remove the corresponding cookie from PasswordSafe.
  • Remove GitHub integration from CodingTestKit → Settings → GitHub Integration → Logout to clear the GitHub token.
  • Uninstalling the plugin also removes its entries from PasswordSafe.
