Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Skillvane Academy is an online learning studio based in Denver, Colorado. We develop self-paced course programs, deliver instructor-led learning sessions, produce practice and assessment materials, and organize educational resources. All of our services are educational and non-certified in nature. We are the party responsible for the information described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide to us

When you fill out a contact form, request information, or otherwise communicate with us, you may provide details such as your name, email address, the nature of your inquiry, and any information contained in the message you choose to send. You decide what to share; fields marked as required simply help us respond usefully.

Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, our systems and service providers may automatically collect limited technical information such as your device type, browser, general geographic region, referring pages, and how you navigate the site. This information is collected through cookies and similar technologies and is used in aggregate to keep the site working and to understand how it is used.

3. How We Use Information

• To respond to your inquiries and provide the educational services you request;
• To prepare, deliver, and improve our course programs, sessions, and materials;
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve our website;
• To communicate with you about your requests and, where permitted, about relevant updates;
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we rely on your consent, our legitimate interest in operating and improving our services, the necessity of processing to respond to your requests, and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis for processing.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to make the site function and, where enabled, analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where offered, through our cookie controls. For more detail, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. How We Share Information

We may share information with trusted service providers who perform functions on our behalf — such as website hosting, analytics, and communications — under obligations of confidentiality and only to the extent necessary. We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect our rights, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not otherwise disclose your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to respond to your inquiries, to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, and to resolve disputes. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live — including under the Colorado Privacy Act and similar United States state laws — you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details at the bottom of this page. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect the information we hold. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please avoid sending sensitive information you would not want transmitted over the internet.

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

11. Third-Party Links

Our website may reference or link to third-party resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies before providing them with information.

12. International Visitors

We operate from the United States. If you access our website from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

13. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected on this page, and your continued use of the website after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
