Privacy

Last updated: 1 June 2026

Sweaty Imposter is a free interview prep app operated by Disco Volante Labs. We try to collect as little as possible. This page explains what we collect, why, and how to control it.

Your study progress

Your spaced-repetition state, attempted code, theme preference, and review log are stored in your own browser's localStorage under keys prefixed eml:. They never leave your device. There is no account, no login, no sync. If you clear your browser data, your progress is gone — there is no backup on our side.

Analytics — only with your consent

If you accept the consent banner, we use Firebase Analytics (Google) to understand how the site is used. This drops a small number of cookies (notably _ga and _ga_*) and assigns a pseudonymous device identifier. We use it to log:

  • Page views (which screens get used)
  • Quiz events (which mode, which item, rating given, time of day)
  • Approximate location (country / region / city, derived from IP) and the device's timezone
  • Anonymous device info (browser, OS, screen size)

We do notcollect your name, email, IP address beyond what Google's automatic geolocation derives, or any information that directly identifies you. We do not sell data and we do not run ads.

Lawful basis (GDPR): consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You may withdraw consent at any time using the button below.

Retention: Firebase Analytics retains event data for up to 14 months by default, after which it is aggregated or deleted by Google.

Sub-processor: Google Ireland Limited (and its sub-processors). See Google's privacy policy.

Advertising

Sweaty Imposter may display ads served by Google AdSense. If ads are running, Google and its partners act as third-party vendors and may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info.

If you are in the EEA or UK, ad and measurement consent is collected through Google's certified consent management platform before any personalised advertising or analytics cookies are set. Declining does not restrict access to any part of the site — everything here is free and requires no account.

We never place ads inside a practice session in a way that could be mistaken for an answer choice or a navigation control.

Your rights

If you are in the EU/UK, you have the right under GDPR / UK GDPR to: access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing of your data; data portability; and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, contact support@discovolantelabs.com.

Because we don't have accounts, the data we hold about you is limited to what Firebase Analytics records against a pseudonymous device ID. Withdrawing consent and clearing your browser data is the most effective way to remove it.
