Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 6, 2026

1. Introduction

Skillify.dev ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use our platform at skillify.dev (the "Service").

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly: name, email address, and password when you create an account; payment information processed securely through Stripe (we do not store card details); lab session activity including commands executed and validation results. We collect automatically: IP address, browser type, device information; usage data such as pages visited, labs started, and session duration; cookies for authentication and preferences.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to: provide and maintain the Service, including lab provisioning and validation; process payments and manage subscriptions; track your learning progress and provide personalized recommendations; send transactional emails (account verification, password reset, billing); improve the Service through aggregated, anonymized usage analytics; respond to support requests.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services: Stripe for payment processing; Google and GitHub for single sign-on (SSO) authentication; cloud infrastructure providers for lab environment provisioning. These services have their own privacy policies. We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. Lab session data (commands, logs) is retained for up to 90 days after session completion for progress tracking, then deleted. Payment records are retained as required by applicable tax and financial regulations. You may request deletion of your account and data at any time by contacting support.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS), secure authentication, and isolated lab environments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. Lab environments are isolated per user and terminated after each session.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; export your data in a portable format; withdraw consent for optional data processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@skillify.dev.

8. Cookies

We use essential cookies for authentication (session token) and preference storage (language, theme). We do not use third-party advertising cookies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or through the Service. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised.
