Terms and Conditions

At iximiuz Labs, we take transparency seriously. We are committed to providing our users with a safe and secure environment for learning, content creation, and experimentation.

How We Use Your Data

We use cookies solely for authentication purposes to ensure secure access to user accounts. We collect and store minimal personal information necessary to provide customized experiences, primarily the public GitHub profile ID. We do not share personal information with third parties except in cases where the user explicitly submits information to third-party services such as Kit (directly or via built-in email subscription forms), Patreon, Gumroad, and Creem.io (via the corresponding third-party sites).

Please note that processing emails and payment information is conducted by third-party services (Kit, Patreon, Gumroad, and Creem.io) and is subject to their respective Terms of Service. These services may set first- and third-party cookies on their websites, over which we have no control or responsibility. Data collected directly by iximiuz Labs remains confidential.

User Types

Learners

Learners are individual users who use iximiuz Labs to engage in educational activities, including consuming tutorials, challenges, skill paths, courses, and interactive playgrounds. Learners must behave respectfully toward other users, maintain proper conduct, and refrain from using hateful speech or attempting unauthorized actions. Users are prohibited from submitting sensitive information to the platform, running unlawfully obtained software, or performing other potentially harmful activities in the playgrounds (e.g., mining cryptocurrency, sending email, or any other form of spam, scanning large ranges of IP addresses, scraping data, etc.). Attempts to hack or compromise other users or the platform itself are strictly forbidden, although responsible security disclosures are highly encouraged.

Content Authors

iximiuz Labs supports community-driven content creation by allowing users ("authors") to publish tutorials, challenges, skill paths, and courses within the platform's primary thematic areas: Linux, networking, containers, Kubernetes, security, observability, CI/CD, server-side, and system programming.

Authors retain all rights to their content and may cross-post it on other platforms.
Authors may remove their published content at any time.
The platform commits to regular backups for safety and reliability; however, authors remain responsible for retaining their own content sources.
Author-created content will be accessible via direct links if permitted by the author.
Author-created content may be listed in the community sections of the platform's catalogs, subject to quality and thematic alignment. Inclusion in these catalogs is at the sole discretion of iximiuz Labs.
Authors must ensure their content is safe, lawful, and strictly adheres to the platform's allowed thematic areas. Publishing malicious scripts, misleading content, copyright violations, or content outside the platform's thematic scope is strictly prohibited.
Authors are expected to maintain respectful behavior towards other users and the broader community. Use of hateful speech or inappropriate conduct is strictly prohibited.
iximiuz Labs reserves the right to remove any content violating platform standards, values, or thematic scope.
Authors who violate these guidelines may be permanently banned from the platform.

In addition to the data stored for individual learners, we also collect authors' external profile URLs and display names, which may or may not be personally identifiable information (PII), based on author preference.
