Privacy Policy
Welcome to SkillBites. Your privacy matters to us, and we’re committed to handling your information with care, transparency, and respect. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and share your personal data when you interact with our website: https://www.skillbites.com.
By accessing or using SkillBites, you accept this Privacy Policy in full. If you do not agree with this policy, please refrain from using the site.
1. Who We Are
SkillBites is a digital platform that provides curated content and recommendations for online learning resources, tools, and productivity-enhancing strategies for busy professionals. We do not offer our own courses — instead, we recommend third-party resources (like Udemy, Teachable, and Coursera) and may earn a small affiliate commission when you make a purchase through one of our links.
We do not track users through cookies or similar scripts, and we are committed to keeping your experience simple, secure, and non-invasive.
2. What Information We Collect
SkillBites collects only minimal personal information from users and does not collect data via cookies or browser-based tracking at this time. Here’s what we do collect:
A. Personal Information You Provide Voluntarily
We may collect the following information when you interact directly with us:
- Your name and email address (when you subscribe to our newsletter or contact us)
- Your message or inquiry (when using a contact form or sending us an email)
- Comments (if enabled on articles or blog posts)
We do not require registration or user login to use our site, nor do we collect any financial data (all purchases occur on third-party platforms).
B. Automatically Collected Information (Minimal)
Unlike many websites, we do not use cookies or install scripts that track user behavior. However, basic anonymous information may be automatically collected through standard web server logs, such as:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages viewed
- Date/time of visit
- Referring website or search engine (if applicable)
This data is used only for general analytics purposes, to understand what content is popular and how the site performs.
We do not use browser fingerprinting, third-party scripts, cookies, or tracking pixels.
3. How We Use Your Information
We only use the personal data you voluntarily provide for the following purposes:
- To respond to your inquiries or feedback
- To deliver email updates if you subscribe to our newsletter
- To personalize your experience if you choose to receive tailored recommendations
- To maintain our internal records and improve our offerings
- To comply with legal obligations or protect our rights if necessary
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.
4. Affiliate Links and Third-Party Sites
SkillBites participates in affiliate programs, which means we recommend external courses or tools and may earn a commission when you purchase through our links. These links will take you to third-party websites (like Udemy, Teachable, Coursera, etc.).
Once you leave our website and visit a third-party platform, your interaction with that service is governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We do not control their data collection or usage practices.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites before making a purchase or providing personal information.
5. How We Protect Your Data
Even though we collect very little personal data, we still take your privacy seriously. We use the following measures to protect your information:
- SSL encryption on our website (HTTPS)
- Secure servers and email delivery systems
- Minimal data retention (we only store what’s necessary and only for as long as needed)
- Limited access (only authorized personnel can view or handle data, if any)
We do not store passwords, payment details, or sensitive identifiers.
6. Email Communications
If you choose to subscribe to our newsletter, we will collect and store your email address for the purpose of sending you occasional updates, curated course picks, learning tips, or blog content.
You can unsubscribe at any time using the link included in every email, or by contacting us directly at [insert email address].
