Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 2, 2026
Last updated: October 2, 2026

Who we are

FreeSkill operates the website https://freeskill.cc and its account, Skill library, membership, order, and support services. In this policy, "FreeSkill", "we", "us", and "our" refer to the website operator, FreeSkill. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you use these services.

For privacy questions or requests, contact contact.skillvip@gmail.com.

Google sign-in and account information

When you choose to sign in with Google, we request only the basic openid, email, and profile permissions. We receive your Google account identifier, verified email address, display name, and profile picture URL to verify your identity and create or maintain your FreeSkill account. We record your account creation and most recent sign-in times.

We do not receive your Google password. These permissions do not give us access to your Gmail messages, Google Drive files, contacts, or other private Google content. We use Google's sign-in response to verify your identity; our current login implementation does not retain Google access or refresh tokens for later access to Google services.

If you edit your profile, we store your chosen display name and uploaded avatar separately from the original Google profile. Signing in again does not automatically replace your custom profile. Uploaded avatars are served through image URLs; anyone who obtains an image URL may be able to view that image. Do not upload images containing confidential information.

Information from your use of FreeSkill

We store the Skills you save or like, verified completed downloads and downloaded versions, and related activity times when these actions are associated with your signed-in account. This lets you return to your library and synchronize it across devices. Public Skill statistics show aggregate activity counts, rather than your personal collection or download history.

We store membership levels, grants, validity periods, and access changes to determine which Skills you can download. If you create an order, we store its product, price, currency, status, creation and update times, delivery records, and related support or administrative actions. Local test orders do not represent money received. Live online payment processing is not currently enabled, and we do not currently collect payment card details. We will update the relevant notices before enabling a payment provider or introducing additional payment data processing.

When you submit feedback or contact support, we receive the information you provide, such as your message, email address, related Skill, and processing status. Authorized administrators can review these submissions and keep internal notes for support and account administration. Please avoid sending passwords, payment card details, or unnecessary sensitive personal information.

How we use information

We use information to authenticate users, maintain accounts and profiles, synchronize saved and liked Skills, provide download history, check membership and purchase permissions, manage orders, answer support requests, and resolve reported problems. We also use necessary account and administrative records to protect the service, investigate misuse, and meet applicable legal obligations.

Our application also temporarily processes connection information, including the connecting IP address available to the server, to limit abusive request rates. This information is held in short-lived rate-limiting state and is not included in the application error diagnostics described below.

Our application diagnostics record limited error categories, normalized route groups, HTTP status codes, occurrence counts, and times to identify service failures. They do not intentionally store raw exception messages, URL query strings, submitted feedback, credentials, or customer and order identifiers. Infrastructure providers may process additional request information as described below.

We do not sell personal information or use Google account data for advertising. The current FreeSkill application does not include advertising trackers or optional third-party marketing analytics.

Cookies and browser storage

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in, protect the Google sign-in flow, and authenticate website administrators. Customer sign-in cookies expire after up to seven days, Google sign-in flow cookies after up to ten minutes, and administrator session cookies after up to eight hours. Signing out clears the corresponding sign-in cookie and invalidates that session. Authentication cookies are restricted from JavaScript access and use Secure protection in production.

We use browser local storage for interface preferences and guest saved or liked Skills. Guest collections stay in that browser unless you explicitly choose to import them into a signed-in account. Local storage has no automatic expiry in the current application; you can remove it through your browser settings. Clearing or blocking cookies may prevent sign-in. Clearing browser data may remove preferences and unsynchronized guest collections.

Service providers and disclosures

Google provides sign-in and may serve your Google profile image when your browser displays it. Google processes those interactions under its own policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Our support address uses Gmail; Google processes support emails as part of that email service.

Cloudflare is the selected infrastructure provider for our production website at freeskill.cc. When website traffic is handled by Cloudflare, Cloudflare may process IP addresses, request and routing information, device or browser information, and security signals to deliver and protect the service. The data processed depends on the Cloudflare services enabled for the deployment. Cloudflare's information is available at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

We limit administrator access to what is needed to operate the service. We may disclose information to service providers needed to operate the website, in response to a valid legal requirement, to protect users and the service, or with your direction or consent. We will update this policy when a material change introduces additional providers or data uses.

Storage, retention, and security

Account records, account activity, membership and order records, feedback, and administrative records are stored in our application database. Uploaded images and Skill packages are stored separately. We maintain backups for recovery. These records are not automatically erased when you sign out, stop using the website, or revoke Google authorization.

We retain information for as long as reasonably needed to provide the services, support an active account, honor access rights, resolve disputes, maintain service security, and meet applicable record-keeping obligations. Retention is assessed according to the type of record and the reason it is held; the current application does not apply a single fixed automatic deletion schedule. Deletion requests are reviewed individually. Some transaction or security records may need to be retained, and recovery backups may retain copies until they are replaced or removed.

We use safeguards such as HTTPS for production connections, access controls, protected session cookies, server-side authorization, and restricted access to stored files. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Google and Cloudflare operate internationally, so information may be processed outside your country. We do not promise that all data stays in a single geographic region.

Your choices and privacy requests

You can update your display name and avatar in your profile, remove saved or liked Skills, and sign out. You can manage or revoke FreeSkill's Google authorization through your Google account settings: https://myaccount.google.com/connections. Revoking Google authorization does not itself delete information already held by FreeSkill or end an existing FreeSkill session; sign out as well if you want to end that session.

To request access to, correction of, a copy of, or deletion of your information, or to request account closure, email contact.skillvip@gmail.com from the address associated with your account where possible. We may ask for information needed to verify your identity and clarify the request. These requests are handled by support; an automatic account deletion or export control is not currently available. We will review requests under applicable law and explain any records we need to retain. Depending on your location, you may also have rights to object to or restrict processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or complain to a relevant data protection authority.

Changes to this policy

We will publish updates on this page and revise the last updated date. For material changes to the use of Google user data, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain any required new consent before using that data for a new purpose. This policy applies to FreeSkill; linked third-party websites and services have their own privacy practices.
