Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Our website address is https://skillyterns.in. Skillytern is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe online experience for all our users.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data entered in the comments form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect spam.
An anonymized string (also known as a hash) generated from your email address may be shared with the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/.
Once your comment is approved, your profile picture—if associated with Gravatar—will be publicly visible next to your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please ensure that they do not contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract location information from such images.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for your convenience. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
Upon logging in, we set several cookies to save your login details and display preferences:
- Login cookies last for two days.
- Screen option cookies last for one year.
- Selecting "Remember Me" will keep your login active for two weeks.
- Logging out removes these cookies.
When editing or publishing an article, an additional cookie will be stored in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data—only the post ID of the edited article—and expires after one day.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). This content behaves exactly as if the visitor had visited the source website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking tools, and monitor your interactions with the embedded content—especially if you are logged into that third-party site.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email for security verification.
How Long We Retain Your Data
When you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are stored indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve follow-up comments without placing them in moderation.
For registered users (if any), we store the personal data provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information anytime—except their username. Site administrators can also view and update that information.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request an exported file of your personal data that we hold, including any data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase this data—excluding any information we are required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be screened through an automated spam detection service to ensure a secure and spam-free environment.
