Introduction and Overview

At Skillminted, we are committed to providing accessible, trustworthy guidance related to the U.S. job market. Our platform, https://skillminted.com, serves as a central resource for users seeking information on career planning, job search strategies, remote work trends, interview readiness, and job listings from reputable employers across various industries.

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal data in connection with your use of the Skillminted website. Our practices are guided by principles of transparency, fairness, and adherence to current data protection standards.

We encourage all users to carefully review the sections below to understand what information we collect, how it is handled, and the options available to you. If you have any questions or concerns regarding our privacy practices, please don’t hesitate to reach out via our contact form at https://skillminted.com/contact

Scope of the Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Skillminted collects, stores, and safeguards your personal information when you engage with our digital services. It applies to all data interactions occurring through your use of our platform, including visits to our official website at https://skillminted.com, use of any features or tools that are directly connected to this policy, and your interaction with our published content. This includes reading job market insights, browsing employer overviews, using our career guides, or exploring current job postings shared across the site.

Please note that this policy applies solely to Skillminted’s online operations and infrastructure. It does not extend to offline communications or external platforms, websites, or third-party tools that may be linked from our pages. We encourage users to independently review the privacy practices of any external sites they visit to fully understand how those services may handle and protect personal data.

Consent

By choosing to access and use Skillminted’s website or any related features, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the data handling practices described in this Privacy Policy. Your continued interaction with our platform—whether by reading our articles, exploring job-related resources, or engaging with our tools—constitutes your explicit consent to the collection, processing, and storage of your information in accordance with these terms.

In addition, your use of Skillminted confirms your acceptance of our Terms of Use, available at https://skillminted.com/terms. If, for any reason, you do not agree with the practices outlined in this policy or prefer not to have your data handled as described, we respectfully advise you to discontinue use of our website and services. Continued access will be interpreted as your clear and informed agreement with our privacy framework.

AI-Generated Content

To support efficient content creation and deliver timely insights about job-related apps, tools, and resources, Skillminted occasionally utilizes AI-driven tools during our editorial process. These tools may assist with summarizing complex features of job search platforms, generating comparison table frameworks, or helping to structure visual content and resource overviews.

Such tools allow us to present up-to-date information on evolving digital platforms, especially when analyzing multiple employers, career paths, or industry trends in a consistent and organized way. However, no AI-generated output is published without direct human oversight.

Every article, resource, and guide shared on Skillminted is thoroughly reviewed and fact-checked by our editorial team. We ensure all final content meets our standards for accuracy, clarity, and relevance. While automation may assist in structuring or formatting information, final decisions on language, tone, and factual content are made by human editors.

If you have questions about how we integrate AI into our content workflow or would like more details about our editorial process, we welcome you to reach out via our contact form. Skillminted remains fully committed to transparency, ethical content creation, and the responsible use of technology in everything we publish.

I. Data Collection Practices

At Skillminted, we are committed to responsible and transparent data handling. Our data collection practices are designed to support the performance, security, and usability of the platform—ensuring that users can access reliable job-related information with confidence. To deliver a responsive and personalized experience, we collect information through three primary methods: data you share directly with us, data automatically collected through your device or browser, and select information from trusted external sources that help us enhance our service offerings.

A. INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE TO US

Most users can browse Skillminted freely, gaining access to job-related resources, company overviews, and career planning guides without submitting any personal details. However, certain features may require you to provide specific information. These include access to subscriber-only content, custom job notification tools, interactive career checklists, or other user-based services that involve registration or direct communication.

When registering for such features, you may be asked to provide details such as your full name, email address, phone number, or location. This information allows us to confirm your identity, create a secure user experience, and deliver content and communications that are relevant to your interests. For instance, providing your name helps personalize account settings or greetings, your email address enables delivery of newsletters or platform updates, and your region or ZIP code may allow us to highlight job openings or workplace trends specific to your area.

If you contact us via the official support form, participate in surveys, or share feedback about our articles or employer insights, we will use the details you provide exclusively to assist you. Whether you’re submitting a question, reporting an issue, or suggesting improvements, the information you share helps us respond accurately and continue refining the Skillminted experience.

B. AUTOMATICALLY COLLECTED INFORMATION

Beyond the data you may choose to share directly, Skillminted automatically collects certain technical and behavioral information each time you visit our website. This process is essential for maintaining the performance, functionality, and security of our platform. Information is gathered using technologies such as server log files, browser cookies, and standard web analytics tools.

When you interact with Skillminted, we may collect your IP address, the type and version of your web browser, the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of your visit, the device type used, and your behavior on our site. This behavioral data may include which pages you view, how long you stay on each page, and the path you take through the website. All of this information allows us to assess how users engage with content, whether they’re exploring job search tips, reviewing career strategy articles, or accessing company-specific job listings.

This automatic data collection helps us detect technical issues, monitor performance, and safeguard the platform from misuse or cyber threats. It also informs how we adjust site layout, improve loading speeds, and deliver a smoother, more personalized experience across browsers and devices.

To further support usability and user preference recognition, Skillminted makes use of cookies and web beacons. These technologies help us tailor your experience by remembering your previous activity, such as recently read articles or preferred job categories. Cookies also assist in internal analytics, allowing us to evaluate how different content areas are performing and which topics resonate with our readers.

You have full control over your browser’s cookie settings. You may choose to disable or restrict cookies at any time through your device or browser preferences. Please be aware, however, that limiting cookies may impact how certain areas of the website function. By continuing to use Skillminted without modifying your cookie settings, you consent to our use of these tools as outlined in this policy.

C. INFORMATION FROM THIRD-PARTY SOURCES

In support of our editorial content and platform monetization, Skillminted occasionally works with third-party advertising and analytics partners. These partnerships allow us to display promotional banners, sponsored recommendations, and job-related ads tailored to general user interests. These external services may implement their own tracking technologies—such as cookies, pixels, web beacons, and embedded scripts—to collect engagement metrics and browsing data on our pages.

Information collected through these third-party tools may include your IP address, browser type, time of visit, approximate location, and interactions with specific content or advertisements. This aggregated data enables advertisers to serve more relevant promotions and allows us to assess the effectiveness of sponsored campaigns. Skillminted’s goal is to ensure that any advertising presented remains aligned with the informational nature of our platform and is never disruptive to your browsing experience.

Although these third-party technologies operate within the pages hosted by Skillminted, the data gathered through them is managed under the individual privacy policies of the respective advertising providers. We do not control how this external data is stored or used once collected, nor do we establish direct data-sharing agreements with advertisers. Users interacting with these ads should be aware that no formal relationship is created between them and the external provider simply by clicking on an ad.

In some cases, advertising partners such as Google may use technologies like DART cookies to deliver interest-based ads informed by your browsing history across various websites. If you prefer not to see personalized advertising based on these behaviors, you can opt out by adjusting your Google ad settings or reviewing Google’s published privacy practices.

For those seeking a deeper understanding of how their data may be processed by these partners, we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of each third-party service referenced on our platform. Please note that Skillminted’s Privacy Policy applies solely to data collected through our own infrastructure and does not extend to external tools or websites linked from within our content.

II. Purpose and Use of Collected Information

At Skillminted, the collection of user data is driven by a singular goal: to create a reliable, relevant, and secure experience for every visitor. Each piece of information we gather plays a targeted role in helping us improve functionality, personalize interactions, and safeguard the platform—while maintaining full transparency and respecting your privacy.

2.1 Ensuring Platform Stability and Technical Performance

Technical and usage data help us maintain a fast, secure, and dependable platform across all devices. By analyzing how visitors access and interact with Skillminted—whether through a smartphone, tablet, or desktop—we can identify and address bugs, monitor load times, and enhance compatibility across browsers. This real-time and historical data gives us insight into system performance, enabling us to prevent outages, fine-tune features, and deliver a consistent, error-free experience to users navigating job listings, career guides, or interview prep tools.

2.2 Enhancing and Personalizing User Experience

Understanding how users engage with Skillminted allows us to adapt the experience to individual preferences. We may adjust featured content based on previously visited topics, reorganize navigation elements for ease of use, or display tools and articles most relevant to your career interests. Whether you’re browsing company profiles or reviewing job application tips, our goal is to make every interaction feel intuitive, timely, and personally useful.

2.3 Analyzing User Interaction and Website Engagement

User engagement metrics inform how we evolve the structure and content of the platform. By observing traffic sources, identifying popular resources, and reviewing behavioral patterns like scroll depth and time on page, we can spotlight the most valuable content and improve weaker areas. These insights shape how we organize our site, highlight trending job market topics, and ensure that information is presented clearly and efficiently for maximum impact.

2.4 Developing and Innovating Features and Services

Skillminted continuously adapts to meet the changing needs of job seekers and professionals. We use platform data, user feedback, and broader employment trends to develop new features and improve existing ones. This might involve launching new content series about in-demand skills, creating tools that support remote job tracking, or implementing smarter search and filtering functions. Every improvement is driven by the desire to make Skillminted more helpful, insightful, and forward-thinking.

2.5 Providing Communication, Support, and Assistance

When users reach out for help or submit feedback, we use the information provided to respond efficiently and thoroughly. Whether it’s resolving a technical issue, answering a question about job-related content, or sharing a policy update, we are committed to clear, respectful communication. In some instances, we may also follow up via email to ensure that concerns have been resolved or that account-related issues are addressed appropriately.

2.6 Email Communications and Platform Updates

Subscribers to our mailing list may receive thoughtfully curated email updates. These may include highlights from new job market articles, early access to career planning tools, or announcements about upcoming platform features. Occasionally, we may also share industry news, hiring trends, or editorial insights aligned with your interests. All communications contain a straightforward opt-out link, and users can adjust their email preferences at any time.

2.7 Strengthening Security and Preventing Fraudulent Activities

Protecting our users is a top priority. Collected data is used to monitor suspicious activity, flag login attempts that appear unauthorized, and protect against fraud or misuse. We employ a layered security strategy that combines behavior analysis, account monitoring, and system alerts to identify potential threats. This proactive approach helps ensure that personal information is kept safe and that the platform remains trustworthy and secure for all users.

At every step, Skillminted’s approach to data use is grounded in our commitment to privacy, user trust, and ethical responsibility. We actively monitor our practices to stay aligned with evolving technologies and data protection standards—ensuring that users remain informed, respected, and in full control of their experience on the platform.

Cookie Policy for Skillminted

Welcome to the Cookie Policy for Skillminted, available at https://skillminted.com/. This document provides a clear explanation of how cookies function, the types of data they collect, and their role in improving your experience on our platform. Additionally, we outline how users can manage or disable cookies, as well as the potential impact of restricting them on website performance.

Understanding Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on a user’s device when visiting a website. Like most modern platforms, Skillminted utilizes cookies to enhance website functionality, personalize the user experience, and improve overall performance. These files enable us to:

  • Recognize returning visitors and retain their preferences.
  • Streamline navigation and page loading speeds.
  • Analyze engagement trends to refine and optimize services.

In addition to usability enhancements, cookies play a crucial role in website security by detecting unauthorized activities, preventing fraudulent behavior, and ensuring data integrity. Furthermore, advertising and marketing cookies assist us and our advertising partners in delivering relevant content based on user interests and browsing behavior.

While cookies are an essential component of online experiences, users retain full control over their use and can adjust settings to restrict or disable them. However, blocking certain cookies may affect website performance and reduce functionality.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies serve several essential functions on Skillminted. Some are required for basic site operations, allowing pages to load correctly and ensuring that key features, such as secure logins and platform stability, function without interruption. Without these essential cookies, core site functionalities may become unavailable or unreliable.

Other cookies contribute to a more personalized experience by remembering language settings, tracking previously visited pages, and tailoring recommendations based on browsing habits. By doing so, Skillminted provides a more engaging and customized interface that adapts to user preferences over time.

Performance and analytics cookies allow us to study how visitors interact with the platform. By analyzing navigation patterns, time spent on pages, and content engagement levels, we can improve website efficiency, optimize structure, and develop features that align with user expectations. This data also helps identify and resolve technical inefficiencies, ensuring that the platform remains responsive and user-friendly.

Security-focused cookies are another critical component, working to detect suspicious activity, prevent unauthorized access, and protect user accounts. These cookies monitor potential threats and contribute to a safer online environment by flagging irregular login attempts or identifying vulnerabilities.

Advertising and marketing cookies are used to deliver promotional content that is relevant to individual users. These cookies track engagement with advertisements and assess the effectiveness of campaigns, helping refine marketing strategies. In some cases, third-party advertising partners may deploy their own tracking technologies. While Skillminted does not control external cookies, users can review third-party privacy policies to better understand their data collection practices.

Managing or Disabling Cookies

Users who wish to adjust their cookie settings can do so through their browser preferences. Most browsers allow individuals to review, block, or delete cookies according to their privacy preferences. However, disabling cookies, particularly those essential for core functionality, may impact website performance and limit access to certain features.

Restricting cookies that store user preferences may result in a less personalized experience, requiring users to manually reconfigure settings each time they visit. Similarly, disabling analytics cookies may reduce Skillminted’s ability to refine content and enhance navigation. While it is possible to block advertising cookies, doing so may lead to less relevant promotional content rather than eliminating advertisements altogether.

For further guidance on managing cookies, users can refer to their browser’s support documentation, where step-by-step instructions on adjusting settings are available. Understanding how cookies impact functionality allows users to make informed choices while ensuring the best possible experience on Skillminted.

The Cookies We Set

Cookies play a crucial role in optimizing user experience on Skillminted, ensuring seamless functionality, personalization, and performance tracking. Below is an overview of the different types of cookies we use and their purposes.

Account and Login Cookies

When you create an account with Skillminted, cookies assist in managing the registration process and maintaining session stability. These cookies help recognize your login status, preventing the need to re-enter credentials on each page. While most session-related cookies are automatically removed upon logout to maintain security, certain preferences may persist to enhance future visits by remembering account settings and user preferences.

Email Subscription Cookies

For users subscribed to newsletters and email updates, cookies store subscription preferences to ensure that you receive relevant content tailored to your interests. These cookies allow Skillminted to manage email frequency, promotional offers, and updates, ensuring that communications align with your engagement history.

Survey and Form Submission Cookies

Occasionally, Skillminted may conduct surveys and questionnaires to improve content and services. Cookies help prevent users from seeing the same survey multiple times, ensuring consistency in feedback collection. Similarly, when submitting forms—such as contact inquiries, feedback requests, or comments—cookies retain relevant details to facilitate smoother follow-ups and prevent users from having to re-enter information unnecessarily.

Customization Cookies

To enhance user experience, Skillminted allows customization of certain interface settings, such as display preferences, theme selections, or language choices. Cookies store these configurations, ensuring that your preferred settings remain intact whenever you return to the website. This results in a consistent, personalized browsing experience tailored to your individual preferences.

Third-Party Provider Cookies

Skillminted integrates trusted third-party services to enhance website functionality, performance tracking, and advertising personalization. These services may deploy cookies to collect usage insights and optimize platform interactions.

Analytics and Performance Cookies

To understand user behavior and interaction patterns, Skillminted utilizes tracking tools like Google Analytics. These cookies gather non-personal data such as time spent on pages, browsing habits, and navigation flows. This information helps refine content, improve site structure, and enhance overall usability. If you’d like to learn more about Google Analytics cookies, you can visit their official website.

Testing and Development Cookies

During feature rollouts and platform updates, temporary cookies help analyze how new functionalities are performing. These cookies assist in minimizing disruptions and ensuring that website improvements integrate smoothly without affecting user experience.

Advertising Cookies

Skillminted collaborates with advertising partners who may use cookies to deliver personalized ad content based on browsing history and interactions. These cookies help assess ad performance, engagement, and relevance. Users who wish to modify their advertising preferences can adjust settings through Google’s Ad Preferences or visit www.aboutads.info  for broader ad-tracking management.

How to Block Cookies

Users have full control over cookie preferences and can disable or manage cookies through their browser settings. Each browser offers different configurations for blocking, limiting, or deleting cookies. Below are links to official guides for managing cookies in major web browsers:

Disabling cookies, particularly account-related or personalization cookies, may impact certain website functions, including login sessions, customized settings, and tailored recommendations. If you choose to opt out of personalized advertising, you can adjust preferences through your browser settings or directly via Google’s Ad Preferences.

By understanding and managing cookies effectively, users can customize their browsing experience while ensuring an optimal level of privacy and functionality on Skillminted.

III. Commitment to Data Protection

Protecting user data is a core value at Skillminted. We do not sell, lease, or trade your personal information to third parties under any circumstances. However, there may be limited instances where we share aggregated, anonymized, or non-identifiable data with select partners. This form of data sharing supports the development of new features, helps us better understand how users interact with the platform, and allows us to deliver more tailored and efficient services—all without exposing individual user identities.

We fully recognize the importance of maintaining compliance with modern privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and other applicable standards. Users have the right to opt out of anonymized data sharing at any time, and we encourage those interested in adjusting their privacy settings or learning more about these rights to reach out through our official contact form.

Skillminted employs robust security measures to ensure that all personal data is managed with the highest level of protection. This includes the use of encryption protocols to safeguard data during transmission, role-based access controls to limit internal exposure, and continuous monitoring systems designed to detect suspicious or unauthorized activity. Our infrastructure is reviewed regularly, and we conduct scheduled audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.

Despite our best efforts, no digital environment is entirely immune to evolving cybersecurity threats. While we maintain a proactive and comprehensive defense posture, users should understand that online systems may still face risks. In the unlikely event of a breach caused by malicious activity, Skillminted will act swiftly to mitigate the impact, restore security, and comply with all legal reporting obligations. If user data is affected, we will notify impacted individuals promptly and provide clear steps to help secure their personal information and prevent further issues.

Our dedication to privacy extends beyond regulatory compliance. At Skillminted, we view data protection as part of the trust we build with our audience. We are committed to maintaining a secure, transparent, and respectful environment—one where visitors can explore job-related insights, tools, and recommendations with confidence that their personal information is handled with care and integrity.

IV. Implementing Your Privacy Privileges

4.1 Acknowledgement of Your Rights

At Skillminted, we believe that every user deserves clarity and respect when it comes to their personal data. Whether you’re a casual visitor or a registered user, we recognize your right to understand, access, and influence how your information is handled. We are mindful that privacy laws vary based on location, and we are committed to honoring those rights in accordance with applicable legal frameworks.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may be entitled to access the personal data we have collected about you, request corrections or updates to that data, and—in certain cases—ask us to restrict or stop processing it altogether. You may also have the right to request permanent deletion of your information. While we make every effort to fulfill such requests, there may be situations in which we are required by law to retain specific records for a defined period, such as compliance with tax, security, or legal documentation requirements.

Skillminted supports these rights by offering tools and policies that promote transparency and user control. We are committed to building a platform that not only meets regulatory standards but also respects individual privacy preferences and fosters trust through clear and ethical data handling practices.

4.2 Policy on Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as it is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. This includes supporting user engagement, delivering content effectively, maintaining operational security, complying with applicable legal obligations, and analyzing performance to improve the platform. Our retention timeline is designed to balance these goals with the privacy expectations of our users.

For example, we may retain your email address or support inquiry history for the purpose of delivering follow-up communications or resolving past issues. Likewise, technical data collected for security and diagnostic purposes may be temporarily stored to help detect and prevent future incidents. Once the data is no longer needed for its original purpose, it is either permanently deleted or securely anonymized so it can no longer be linked to any identifiable individual.

If at any time you wish to have your personal data removed from our system, you may submit a deletion request through our official contact page at https://skillminted.com/contact. Upon receiving your request, our team will begin the erasure process promptly and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. You will be notified once the request has been completed or if any information must be lawfully retained for a limited time.

Skillminted remains deeply committed to responsible data management, ensuring that privacy rights are not only respected in theory but actively upheld through thoughtful retention practices, secure removal processes, and clear communication every step of the way.

V. Data Protection in the United States

Skillminted is committed to safeguarding your privacy and adheres to the data protection laws that apply across the United States. Although the country does not follow a single, unified privacy framework, a number of state-specific and federal regulations govern how websites like ours collect, store, and use personal data.

This section outlines the most relevant U.S. privacy laws affecting our operations, detailing your rights and the steps we take to protect your information in compliance with applicable requirements.

California Privacy Laws – CCPA and CPRA

If you reside in California, your personal information is covered under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the expanded California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which came into effect in 2023.

These laws affect businesses that gather information through cookies, analytics software, or advertising platforms—even if the data, like IP addresses or user behavior, is collected indirectly.

Your Rights Under CCPA/CPRA:

  • Know which types of personal information we collect and why we collect them
  • Request the deletion of your personal data from our systems
  • Correct inaccuracies in the information stored about you
  • Opt out of the sharing or selling of your personal data, especially in the context of third-party advertising
  • Limit how sensitive personal information is used
  • Request a portable copy of your personal data in an accessible format

To comply with these laws, Skillminted offers a transparent privacy notice, user-friendly cookie management tools, and a dedicated process to help California users exercise these rights. We also honor browser-based privacy requests when legally required and enforce strict internal procedures to ensure secure handling of personal data deletion and access requests.

Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)

The Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA) ensures that residents of Virginia have access to clear information about how their data is collected, used, and stored by websites and online services.

The law applies to any processing or sharing of personal information, including behavioral data collected for analytics or marketing purposes.

Your Rights Under VCDPA:

  • Access your personal data and verify whether it is currently being processed
  • Correct any errors or outdated personal information on file
  • Request the deletion of personal data no longer necessary or desired
  • Opt out of targeted ads, data sales, or algorithmic profiling
  • Obtain a downloadable and portable version of your personal information

At Skillminted, we honor these rights by clearly outlining how user data is used, collecting only what’s necessary, and offering the ability to opt out of behavioral tracking when applicable. Users may submit requests through our official contact page, and we commit to responding within the timeframe required by Virginia law.

Colorado Privacy Act (CPA)

The Colorado Privacy Act (CPA) provides additional privacy rights to residents of Colorado, particularly as it relates to websites that collect and process user data through cookies, trackers, or analytics tools.

Even when data is gathered indirectly—such as device identifiers or browsing patterns—this law requires that users are given clear choices and control over how their information is used.

Your Rights Under CPA:

  • View, modify, or delete your personal data at any time
  • Refuse participation in behavioral targeting or algorithmic profiling
  • Receive a structured, usable export of your data
  • Use browser-based privacy settings (such as Global Privacy Control signals) to automatically opt out

We uphold these rights by honoring browser-level opt-outs, limiting data collection to its essential purpose, and offering clear explanations about how and why data is used. Users can manage cookies and adjust privacy preferences through on-site tools that are simple to access and understand.

Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a federal law designed to protect the personal information of children under 13 years of age. It applies to digital platforms that either target children directly or knowingly collect data from users within that age group.

At Skillminted, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. However, if any content we offer is geared toward younger users, we take all necessary steps to remain compliant with COPPA.

Our COPPA Commitments:

  • Obtain verified parental consent before collecting any personal information from children under 13
  • Collect only essential information and avoid gathering more than is necessary
  • Allow parents or guardians to review, modify, or delete their child’s data upon request
  • Display clear and understandable privacy notices in any child-focused content

If you are a parent or legal guardian and suspect that your child’s information has been collected through Skillminted without proper consent, we urge you to contact us so we can promptly investigate and remove the data if needed.

How We Stay Compliant

To comply with U.S. data privacy laws, we maintain a framework focused on clarity, accountability, and user empowerment. The types of data Skillminted collects are typically limited to functional and technical information—such as usage statistics, browser types, and interactions with app content—but we treat all collected data with a high level of care.

We are committed to helping you make informed choices when visiting Skillminted. If you have questions about your data, or would like to submit a privacy-related request, please contact us at https://skillminted.com/contact

VI. Rights Under GDPR for Data Protection

For individuals located within the European Economic Area (EEA), Skillminted upholds all rights granted under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We are committed to maintaining full transparency about how personal data is handled and ensuring that users have meaningful control over their information. Our processes are designed to reflect GDPR principles, including fairness, accountability, and user empowerment.

As defined by GDPR, users are entitled to a number of data-related rights that we fully support and facilitate. These include the ability to request a copy of the personal data we’ve collected, correct any errors or inaccuracies in that data, and—in certain circumstances—ask for their information to be permanently removed from our systems. This is often referred to as the “right to be forgotten.”

In addition, users may request that we temporarily limit how their data is processed instead of erasing it, especially if questions arise regarding its accuracy or usage. Individuals also have the right to object to specific types of data processing, particularly when it relates to promotional communications or use cases they consider unnecessary. Where technically feasible, users can request that their personal data be provided in a standard digital format or transferred to another service provider of their choice.

Skillminted is committed to addressing GDPR-related inquiries in a timely and thorough manner. We strive to respond to valid requests within 30 days, barring any delays due to legal complexities or operational constraints. If you would like to submit a request under GDPR or if you have concerns about how your information is being used, please contact us via our official support channel at https://skillminted.com/contact. Our team is ready to assist and ensure your rights are respected.

VII. Parental Oversight of Children’s Data

At Skillminted, we take the protection of children’s privacy seriously and consider it a fundamental responsibility. Our website and content are intended for a general adult audience and are not designed for or directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect, request, or store any personal information from individuals in this age group.

We strongly encourage parents and legal guardians to actively supervise their children’s online activity and to educate them about safe, age-appropriate use of digital platforms. Parental involvement plays a critical role in fostering responsible internet behavior and preventing the unintended sharing of sensitive information.

Due to the limitations of verifying user age in an online environment, Skillminted takes a proactive stance in responding to any potential data submissions from users under 13. If we become aware that personal data from a child has been collected through our platform, we will act promptly to delete the information from our systems and to block any further collection from that individual.

If a parent or guardian has reason to believe that their child has shared personal information with Skillminted, we ask that they contact us immediately through our official form at https://skillminted.com/contact. Once a report is received, our team will investigate the situation without delay and take appropriate action to ensure full compliance with applicable privacy laws, including the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and other recognized data protection standards.

Skillminted remains committed to upholding the safety, privacy, and digital well-being of all users—and to taking every reasonable step to prevent unauthorized data collection from minors.

VIII. Future Adjustments to Our Privacy Policy

As Skillminted continues to evolve—whether through the introduction of new features, changes in regulatory requirements, or advancements in digital infrastructure—we may need to update this Privacy Policy to reflect our most current practices. These revisions may be necessary to align with updated data protection laws, enhance the security of our systems, or refine how we collect, process, and use personal information in response to user needs.

We are committed to maintaining transparency in all such changes. When updates are made to this policy, we will make the revised version publicly accessible on this page and will clearly communicate any material changes that affect how your data is handled. We strongly encourage all users to review this policy periodically to remain aware of how their information is managed.

By continuing to access or use the Skillminted platform after an updated Privacy Policy has been published, you are indicating your agreement to the revised terms. If, for any reason, the updated policy no longer reflects your personal privacy expectations or comfort level, we respectfully advise that you discontinue use of our services to ensure your preferences are honored.

IX. Our Contact Information
