4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR or similar data protection legislation applies, we process personal data only where we have an appropriate legal basis.

Depending on the circumstances, our legal bases may include:

Consent — when you have given us permission to process your information for a particular purpose, such as certain non-essential cookies or marketing communications.

Legitimate Interests — when processing is reasonably necessary for legitimate purposes such as operating, securing, maintaining, and improving SkillOnPage, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights and interests.

Contractual Necessity — where processing is necessary to provide a service or take steps requested by you before entering into an agreement.

Legal Obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, court orders, or other legal requirements.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before consent was withdrawn.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

SkillOnPage may use cookies and similar technologies to operate the website, remember preferences, understand website usage, improve performance, protect the website, and, where applicable, support advertising or other services.

Cookies are small data files that may be stored on your device when you visit a website.

Cookies may generally fall into categories such as:

Strictly Necessary Cookies — required for essential website functionality, security, privacy preferences, or other necessary services.

Functional Cookies — used to remember preferences and provide enhanced website functionality.

Analytics Cookies — used to understand how visitors interact with the website and to measure website traffic and performance.

Advertising Cookies — may be used to deliver, measure, personalize, or limit advertising, where applicable.

You may be able to accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the cookie consent tools available on the website.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some parts of the website.

Where required by applicable law, analytics technologies that are not strictly necessary will be activated only after appropriate consent has been obtained.

7. Advertising

SkillOnPage may display advertising or work with advertising providers.

Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertisements, prevent fraud, limit how often advertisements are displayed, and, where legally permitted and subject to applicable consent requirements, personalize advertising.

Where applicable law requires consent for advertising cookies or personalized advertising technologies, we aim to obtain that consent before those technologies are activated.

Users may be provided with options to manage their advertising and cookie preferences.

8. Third-Party Services

SkillOnPage may use third-party service providers to support the operation of the website.

Depending on the services we use, these providers may assist with:

• analytics;
• content delivery;
• email delivery;
• newsletters;
• advertising;
• website performance;
• cookie consent management;
• technical support;
• embedded content;
• other operational functions.

These third parties may process certain personal data in connection with the services they provide.

Where required, we seek to work with service providers under appropriate contractual and data protection arrangements.

Third-party services may also operate under their own privacy policies and terms.

9. Embedded Content and External Websites

Articles on SkillOnPage may contain links to external websites or embedded content from third-party platforms.

Embedded content may include videos, images, social media posts, maps, or other external resources.

Depending on the provider and your privacy settings or consent choices, interacting with embedded content may allow the third-party provider to collect information about your device or interaction.

SkillOnPage is not responsible for the privacy practices of independent third-party websites.

When you leave SkillOnPage or interact with an external service, we encourage you to review the privacy policy of the relevant third party.

10. Newsletter and Email Communications

If SkillOnPage offers a newsletter or other subscription-based communications, we may collect your email address and other information necessary to provide the service.

Where required, marketing communications will be sent on the basis of your consent or another lawful basis permitted by applicable legislation.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option provided in the communication or by contacting us.

Transactional, administrative, or legally required communications may be treated differently from marketing communications.

11. Contact Forms and Communications

When you contact SkillOnPage, we may process the information you provide in order to receive, review, and respond to your communication.

This may include your name, email address, message, and any information you voluntarily include.

We may retain relevant communications for a reasonable period where necessary for administrative, security, legal, or record-keeping purposes.

12. How We Share Information

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of selling personal information directly for money.

We may share or make information available to third parties where reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including:

• analytics providers;
• advertising providers, where applicable;
• security and fraud-prevention services;

We may also disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to comply with applicable law, protect our legal rights, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect the security of SkillOnPage and its users.

13. International Data Transfers

Some service providers used by SkillOnPage may operate in countries outside your country of residence or outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

As a result, personal data may in certain circumstances be transferred internationally.

Where applicable data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, we aim to rely on recognized legal mechanisms, such as adequacy decisions, Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful safeguards appropriate to the transfer.

14. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, administrative, security, accounting, and dispute-resolution requirements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the reason it was collected, applicable legal requirements, and the services involved.

When personal data is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with applicable requirements.

15. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no website, server, database, or method of internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

For this reason, while we take reasonable steps to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

16. Your Rights Under the GDPR

18. Children’s Privacy

SkillOnPage provides general informational content and is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable data protection laws.

We do not knowingly request that children provide personal data where parental or guardian authorization would be legally required.

If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to SkillOnPage inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

19. Health-Related Communications

SkillOnPage publishes general informational content about health, nutrition, mental health, and well-being.

We encourage users not to submit medical records, diagnoses, detailed health histories, or other sensitive health information through general website contact forms or email unless specifically requested through an appropriate secure process.

SkillOnPage’s health-related editorial content does not create a doctor-patient, dietitian-patient, psychologist-client, or other professional healthcare relationship between readers and our authors, editors, contributors, or experts.

20. Do Not Track and Browser Privacy Controls

Some browsers and devices provide privacy controls or signals intended to communicate user preferences regarding tracking.

The availability and legal significance of these mechanisms can vary by jurisdiction and technology.

Where applicable law requires recognition of a particular browser-based privacy preference signal, we aim to process such signals as required.

You may also use the privacy, cookie, and tracking controls provided by your browser, device, or our website’s consent management system.

21. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our website, technologies, service providers, business practices, or applicable legal requirements.
