Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Skillsmint collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, take quizzes, generate or verify certificates, make payments, or contact support. By using Skillsmint, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information we collect

3. How we use information

• Provide, operate, and improve Skillsmint (courses, quizzes, scoring, certificates, and verification).
• Process payments and deliver purchased certificates.
• Send transactional messages (for example, certificate links and payment confirmations).
• Monitor, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security issues.
• Measure site performance and improve user experience.

4. AI features

Skillsmint may use AI services (such as OpenAI) to generate quiz questions, enrich course content, moderate certain inputs, and draft share captions. Depending on the feature, we may send course context and (if you request a share caption) certificate details such as your name, course title, and score to these providers. We do not intentionally send sensitive personal information.

5. Certificate visibility and sharing

Certificate verification pages may display certificate details (such as your name, course title, issue date, certificate number, badge code, and a preview image). If you share a certificate link or number, others may be able to view these details.

6. Cookies, analytics, and advertising measurement

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site and understand how it is used. We may use third-party tools such as Google Analytics and Meta (Facebook) Pixel for analytics and advertising measurement. You can control cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through provider opt-out mechanisms.

7. Sharing of information

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• With service providers that help us operate the platform (hosting, analytics, email delivery, AI services, and payment processing).
• To comply with legal obligations, enforce our terms, or protect the rights, safety, and security of Skillsmint and others.
• In connection with a business transaction (for example, a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets), subject to applicable law.

8. Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the service, meet legal and accounting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.

9. Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your choices and rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of certain personal information, and you may opt out of non-essential communications. To make a request, contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

11. Children's privacy

Skillsmint is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date above.
