Skill Sponsorship (“we”, “us”, “our”) operates skillsponsorship.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from visitors, why we collect it, how it’s used, and the choices you have — including specific detail on the Google services we use, since that’s where most of the technical data collection on this site actually happens.
By using skillsponsorship.com, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you don’t agree, the most direct control you have is adjusting your browser and ad settings as described below, or discontinuing use of the site.
1. Information We Collect
Information you give us directly — if you email us through our Contact page, we receive whatever you choose to include: typically your email address and the content of your message. We don’t ask for this information anywhere else on the site.
Information collected automatically — like most websites, when you visit skillsponsorship.com our servers and third-party tools (detailed below) automatically log standard technical data, which can include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, referring page, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This is collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies.
2. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
If you’re located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK, our legal basis for processing your data depends on the context:
- Consent — for non-essential cookies (such as advertising and analytics cookies), we rely on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time via your browser or the opt-out tools listed in this policy.
- Legitimate interest — for basic technical logging needed to keep the site secure and functioning.
- Contractual necessity — if you contact us directly, we process your message to respond to it.
3. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help websites remember information about your visit. We use cookies ourselves for basic site functionality, and our third-party partners — primarily Google — use cookies for advertising and analytics purposes, described in detail below.
You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking cookies entirely may affect how parts of the site function.
4. Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertising on this site. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this site and other sites across the internet.
- Google’s use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to skillsponsorship.com and/or other sites. You can learn exactly how Google uses information from sites that use its services, including AdSense, in “How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services”.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a number of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices or www.networkadvertising.org/choices.
- Google’s general advertising technologies policy is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
5. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are popular, how people arrive here, and how long they stay — so we can improve the content and structure of the site over time.
Google Analytics collects data through first-party cookies and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors to us personally. This data is processed by Google in accordance with its own privacy practices.
- You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Details on how Google safeguards data collected through Analytics are available at Google’s “Safeguarding your data” page.
6. Other Google Services
Beyond AdSense and Analytics, elements of this site may rely on other Google infrastructure (for example, fonts, embedded content, or security tools). Any data these services process is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy, which explains in full what Google collects across its products and how it’s used.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade personal information to third parties. Data is shared only with the service providers described in this policy (namely Google, for advertising and analytics purposes) as part of their normal operation, or where required by law.
8. International Data Transfers
Because we rely on Google’s global infrastructure, data collected via cookies and analytics tools may be processed on servers located outside your own country, including outside the EEA/UK. Google maintains its own safeguards for these transfers (including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable), detailed in its Privacy Policy linked above.
9. Data Retention
We retain contact form correspondence only as long as needed to address your enquiry, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Cookie and analytics data are retained according to Google’s own default retention settings for AdSense and Analytics, which you can review directly in the linked Google policies.
10. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erase your data (“right to be forgotten”), where applicable.
- Restrict how your data is processed.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interest.
- Data portability — receive your data in a portable format.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe your data has been mishandled.
To exercise any of these rights regarding data we hold directly (such as contact form correspondence), email us at contactskillsponsorship@gmail.com. For data processed by Google (cookies, ad personalisation, analytics), use the Google-specific tools and links provided in Sections 4 and 5.
11. Children’s Privacy
This site is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so it can be removed.
12. Third-Party Links
Our biography content links out to external sources and references. We’re not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party site linked from skillsponsorship.com — please review their policies separately.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date, and continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
