Except as described in this policy, we will not share your personal information with third parties without your consent. For personal information received by MySkillChart.com under the Privacy Shield and disclosed to a third party, MySkillChart.com remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if a third party engages with the personal data in a manner inconsistent with the principles of the Privacy Shield, unless MySkillChart.com proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to the damage.

  • Fulfilling services.  We share personal information with the relevant third parties related to providing the products or services you have purchased or subscribed to, which include without limitation, partners and subcontractors that are utilized for the purpose of operating the Website or fulfilling the products or services requested by you, and the facility that is associated with the MySkillChart.com Admin, Instructor, or Parent Portal account.

In the event that the Website (or a substantial portion of our assets) is acquired, your information would be considered part of those assets and may be part of those assets that are transferred.

How We Secure Information Transmissions
When you send confidential personal credit card information to us on our Website, a secure server software which we have licensed encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. The information is scrambled en route and decoded once it reaches our Website.

Other emails that you may send to us may not be secure unless we advise you that security measures will be in place prior to your transmitting the information. For that reason, we ask that you do not send confidential information such as Social Security or account numbers to us through an unsecured email.

How Do We Protect Your Information

Information Security.
We utilize encryption/security software to safeguard the confidentiality of personal information we collect to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure and accidental loss, alteration or destruction of personal information.

Evaluation of Information Protection Practices.
Periodically, our operations and business practices are reviewed for compliance with corporate policies and procedures governing the security, confidentiality, and quality of our information.

Employee Access, Training, and Expectations.
Our corporate values, ethical standards, policies, and practices are committed to the protection of customer information. In general, our business practices limit employee access to confidential information and limit the use and disclosure of such information to authorized persons, processes, and transactions.

 Privacy Policy for HOME LEARNING USER

 

Established in 2020, MySkillChart Software developed into the first safe skill tracking and social sharing network, made specifically for kids. We have developed this policy statement to reflect our commitment to kids safety, security, and privacy. MySkillChart Software users have access to the safest kids social network through the website, iOS app, and Google Play Apps.

We have a sophisticated and highly confidential moderations and behavior management system that protects our users from unwanted and inappropriate media posts, conversations, bullying, swearing, and sexually inappropriate language. We believe that this software provides our users of all ages with the safest social network environment available. See exactly how at www.myskillchart.com/child-safety

 

Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
 

MySkillChart Software is a safe social network for kids. It was established in 2016, by Stars and Stripes Mgmt, who designed this platform as a direct result of the founders concern for the online safety, security, and wellness of children. COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) became effective on April 21, 2000. The regulations apply to the online collection of personal information from children in the US who are 12 years and younger. The Act spells out what website operators, need to include in their privacy policy, when and how to seek verifiable consent from a parent and what responsibilities website operators have to protect and secure children’s privacy and safety online.

COPPA applies to individual identifiable information about a child (12 or younger) that is collected online, such as full name, home address, email address, telephone number or any other information that would allow someone to identify or contact a kid. The Act also applies to other types of information, such as hobbies, interests and user information gathered through the use of cookies and other methods of tracking, when they are tied to individually identifiable information. MySkillChart Software does not use cookies to track user behavior, interests or hobbies.

MySkillChart Software and Stars and Stripes Mgmt are tireless advocates of Internet safety and privacy.
 

MySkillChart Software User Registration and Membership
 

MSC users provide limited contact information from user 18 and up: first name, last initial, email address, age, gender, and country, state/province. The email address is only used to contact users to confirm their registration and at other times when necessary. For users 12 and under we collect their date of birth, gender, and parent/guardians email address. MySkillChart Software does not collect personally identifiable information from any user who is 12 or younger. Parents/guardians receives a confirmation email to which they must respond in order to activate the child's account. Parent email addresses are retained in our database for future contact. We do not market products or offerings from third parties to our users by email.
 

We do not disclose the users personal information to anyone, at any time except by subpoena from authorities. However, in the event of the sale or merger of the company; MySkillChart.com, LLC., the personal information collected by MySkillChart Software about its user in the normal course of its business will be shared with the partner company or successor company upon completion of the subject acquisition or merger. Parents or guardians can review their child's personal information once we receive verifiable identification. Verifiable consent can be given by one of the following methods: following the link provided in the confirmation email, provide a signed form via postal mail or facsimile or even giving us a call. Upon request, parents may delete or prohibit the further collection of their child's personal information by contacting us at help@MySkillChart.com

Another way that MySkillChart Software accesses information about users is through IP addresses. An IP address is unique to the user’s computer, and is used to identify and collect broad demographic information (like age, gender, regional information and generic interests). As a safe social network for kids, tools such as these can be used positively and in the interest of protecting the privacy and safety of all kids online.

For added security, online search spiders are blocked from accessing any part of MySkillChart.com.
