Your privacy is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information we collect from our users, how we use it, and the steps we take to protect it. It applies to all information collected through our website, mobile application, and any related services, sales, marketing, or events (referred to collectively in this policy as the "Services").
Understanding this policy is important, so we encourage you to read it thoroughly. By accessing or using our Services, you signify your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any aspect of this policy, please do not use our Services.
At SkillTrans, we deeply respect your right to privacy and understand the need to protect your personal information. This commitment is at the core of every decision we make about how we collect and use your data. We aim to be clear about our practices, so you can make informed decisions about the use of our Services.
We also recognize that privacy and data security are ongoing responsibilities. As such, we will periodically update this Privacy Policy as we undertake new personal data practices or adopt new privacy policies.
To enhance your experience and improve our Services, SkillTrans collects data in several ways. Our goal is to be transparent about our data collection practices. Below, we outline the types of data we collect:
Account Information: When you sign up for SkillTrans, you provide us with personal information such as your name, email address, and password. You may also provide additional information to complete your profile, such as a profile picture or biography.
Course Creation and Interaction: If you create a course or interact with course materials on SkillTrans, we collect the content you post, including text, images, and video, as well as any comments or feedback you provide.
Transaction Data: For purchases made on SkillTrans, we collect data related to the transaction, including payment method information (processed securely by our payment service providers), purchase history, and billing details.
Communications with Us: When you contact our support team or communicate with us through other channels, we collect the information you share with us during those communications.
In addition to the information you provide directly, SkillTrans may also collect information automatically about your use of our services. This automatically collected data helps us understand how users interact with our platform, improve our services, and provide users with personalized experiences. The types of data collected automatically include:
Usage Data: We collect information about your interactions with the SkillTrans platform, including the courses you view or search for, page views, the links you click on, the time spent on pages, and the dates and times of your interactions. This data helps us understand what content is most valuable to our users and how we can enhance their learning experience.
Device Information: Information about the device you use to access SkillTrans is collected, including the device type, operating system, browser type, IP address, mobile network information, and device identifiers. This information helps us ensure our platform functions correctly on your device and provides us with insights into the diverse technology our users employ.
Location Information: While not collecting precise location data, we may determine a general geographic location based on your IP address. This allows us to provide content and features that are relevant to your region, such as localized course recommendations or language preferences.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: SkillTrans uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to collect information about your activity on our site and third-party websites. These technologies help us remember your preferences, understand how you engage with our platform, and tailor advertisements to your interests. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our services.
Log Data: When you use SkillTrans, our servers automatically record information ("log data"), including information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website or your mobile app sends when you're using it. This log data may include your IP address, the address of the web pages you visited that had SkillTrans features, browser type and settings, the date and time of your request, how you used SkillTrans, and cookie data.
Analytics Data: We use third-party analytics tools to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the SkillTrans service. These tools collect information sent by your device or our service, including the web pages you visit, add-ons, and other information that assists us in improving the service. We collect and use this analytics information together with analytics information from other users so that it cannot reasonably be used to identify any particular individual user.
This automatically collected data is analyzed and aggregated to manage, improve, and optimize our platform, as well as to provide more personalized experiences and advertisements to our users.
