Data Policy

When a student enrols in a class on Skillnook, we will share the student’s username and profile with the teacher for the purpose of teaching these students on our platform. By doing so, the student grants to us permission to share his/her information with the teacher who is required to respect the privacy of the student. The teacher has a limited license to use this information only for Skillnook-related communications or for Skillnook-facilitated transactions. The teacher may use that personal information for no other purpose, such as sending unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without express consent from that person, you must not misuse any one’s personal information. Remember that you need to comply with all relevant legal rules when you use Skillnook. This includes applicable data protection and privacy laws which govern the ways in which you can use another Skillnook user’s information.
