Service providers and tools

In operating the website, apps, development workflows, support, analytics, and backups, information may be processed through tools and providers including ChatGPT, Codex, locally run LLAMA models, locally run Aider, GitHub private repositories, iCloud backups, Dropbox backups, Google Analytics, Apple Developer accounts and related Apple services, Google Developer accounts and related Google services, iCloud email, and Gmail.

Locally run tools are generally used on devices controlled by the operator. Cloud services process information under their own terms and privacy policies. Sensitive support details, code, logs, screenshots, or user-provided content may be reviewed with these tools only when reasonably needed to provide support, improve software, troubleshoot issues, maintain records, or secure the services.

Cookies and similar technologies

On pages with Cookie settings, essential cookies support security and remember your cookie choices for 180 days. Choose Accept all, Reject optional, or Customize to control analytics and preferences separately. Optional categories are off until you choose them; visitors who accepted the previous notice are asked to choose again.

Google Analytics loads on these pages only when analytics is enabled. Preferences allow course progress to be saved in this browser and lesson ratings to be submitted. Use Cookie settings at the bottom of the page to change your choices at any time. Turning analytics off stops further collection on these pages and clears accessible Google Analytics cookies; it does not delete information already sent. Turning preferences off removes saved course progress from this browser but does not delete ratings already submitted. Essential security storage remains active. Browser settings can also block or clear storage. These website choices do not change permissions inside the listed mobile apps.
