Privacy & Safety

We take your privacy seriously.

SkillSwap is built for students. Here's exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and how we keep the community safe.

Last updated: April 2026

Data we collect
  • Account information: name, school email address, and profile details you choose to share.
  • Session activity: session titles, schedules, attendance, and peer reviews.
  • Usage data: pages visited and features used, collected anonymously to improve the platform.
  • Uploaded files: resumes or documents you submit for AI scanning — processed in memory and never stored permanently.
How we use your data
  • To power your profile, match you with peers, and surface relevant session suggestions.
  • To generate AI-assisted skill recommendations using OpenAI. No personal data is retained by OpenAI beyond the current request.
  • To provide school advisors and admins with aggregated activity overviews (not individual message content).
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third-party advertisers.
What others can see
  • Your public profile: name, skills, bio, and session availability — visible to other signed-in students.
  • Reviews and ratings left by peers after completed sessions.
  • Achievement badges you have earned and chosen to display.
  • Private messages are only visible to the sender and recipient. Admins may review flagged conversations for safety purposes.
Community safety
  • All accounts require a school-verified email address. No anonymous participation.
  • Messaging includes built-in reporting tools. Reports are reviewed by school admins.
  • AI content moderation flags potentially inappropriate session descriptions before they are posted.
  • Teachers and administrators have oversight visibility into platform activity within their school.
Cookies & tracking
  • We use essential session cookies to keep you signed in. No third-party tracking cookies.
  • Anonymous analytics help us understand which features are used most. No personally identifiable data is included.
  • You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings without losing your account.
Your rights & data deletion
  • You can update or delete your profile information at any time from Settings.
  • To request full account and data deletion, email us at [email protected]. We will process the request within 5 school days.
  • Exported achievement data shared with competitions or advisors is not automatically recalled — contact us if you need assistance.
