1: Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 22nd, 2025
Study with Skelly (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using our website or renting our kits, you agree to this Policy.
- Information We Collect
We collect:
- Basic information you provide, such as your name, email, and payment details.
- Signatures and dates when you sign required waivers.
- Payment information (collected and processed by third-party providers like Stripe or PayPal; we do not store your credit card number).
- Email preferences if you choose to join our mailing list.
We do not intentionally collect information from children under 18, and our service is intended for adult renters only.
- How We Use Information
We use your information to:
- Process your rentals and payments.
- Deliver and support your rental kits.
- Send you updates you request (like our email list).
- Meet legal, tax, and accounting requirements.
We do not sell or share your information with advertisers.
- Cookies and Tracking
Study with Skelly does not use cookies or tracking technologies on its website. However, third-party providers we rely on — such as Stripe or PayPal — may use cookies as part of their normal payment and fraud-prevention processes. These cookies are controlled by those providers and covered by their own privacy policies.
- How Long We Keep It
- Rental data (like your name, waiver signature, and payment confirmation) is kept until your rental is complete and the kit is returned.
- Email list data is kept until you unsubscribe.
- Payment details are never stored by us directly; Stripe/PayPal may retain limited info under their own policies.
- Third Parties
We share your data only with trusted providers that help us run our business:
- Payment processors (Stripe, PayPal) to handle transactions securely.
- Cloud hosting services (for website operation).
We don’t give your data to advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else.
- Your Rights (California Residents)
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to:
- Know what personal information we collect.
- Request deletion of your personal information (subject to business/legal needs).
- Opt out of the sale of your personal information (we don’t sell your data anyway).
To exercise these rights, email us at contact@studywithskelly.com.
6A. International Users (GDPR and Beyond)
If you are located outside the United States, you may have additional rights under laws like the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These may include:
- The right to access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- The right to restrict or object to how your data is processed.
- The right to data portability.
- The right to withdraw consent at any time.
Requests can be made by contacting us at contact@studywithskelly.com. Please note that Study with Skelly is a small U.S.-based business, and while we will make reasonable efforts to honor these requests, some services are provided through third-party platforms (e.g., Stripe, PayPal) that have their own compliance obligations.
- Security
We use industry-standard security measures to protect your information. However, no method of online transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection.
7A. Dispute Resolution and Limitation of Liability
By using our services, you agree that any disputes relating to privacy or data use will be resolved by binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and not in a court of law or by jury trial. You waive the right to participate in class actions or class-wide arbitration.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claims arising out of this Privacy Policy is limited to the amount you paid for the rental that gave rise to the claim.
- Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we will post an update on our website with the new effective date.
