OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY
Privacy Policy
This Policy explains how ViaSkill Inc. and its Affiliates collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use our website, apps, and services. It also explains your rights and choices.
Effective date: see “Changes to This Privacy Policy.”
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how ViaSkill Inc. (“ViaSkill,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and its Affiliates collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you use our website, mobile applications, and services (collectively, the “Service”). “Affiliates” refer to any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with ViaSkill Inc. This Policy also explains your rights regarding your personal information. By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Policy and our User Agreement and Terms of Service.
When we refer to “personal information” or “your information” in this Privacy Policy, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household, or as otherwise defined by applicable privacy laws. This Privacy Policy forms part of, and is subject to, our User Agreement and Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in the User Agreement. For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, information that has been de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized such that it can no longer be used to identify a specific individual, directly or indirectly, is not considered “personal information” and ViaSkill may use such information for any lawful purpose without restriction.
