Privacy Policy

• Account: your email address and name.
• Builders: your project details, what you want to learn, who you want to hear from, your weekly availability, and your meeting link if you add one.
• Testers: age range, what you do, country, devices, interests, the apps you use, when you’re free, and whether you write code.
• Sessions: booking times, the takeaways testers write, and the notes and ratings builders leave.
• Payments: handled by Stripe. We store Stripe’s IDs for payments and payout accounts, never full card or bank numbers.
• Technical: the IP address of sign-in requests (to stop abuse) and standard server logs.

• To match builders and testers, and to book and run sessions.
• To take payments and pay testers.
• To send emails you need: sign-in links, booking confirmations, reminders and payout notices. We don’t send marketing email without asking.
• To keep Skoby secure and fix problems.

• Builders see a tester’s first name and profile summary (age range, what they do, country, devices and interests). Never their email address.
• Testers see the builder’s project name and description and the request details.
• During a call, both people see whatever they choose to show on camera or by sharing their screen.

We don’t sell personal information. We use these services to run Skoby, and they only process data to provide their service to us:

• Stripe: payments, payouts and identity checks for testers who get paid
• Daily: video calls (we don’t record them)
• Resend: sending email
• Railway: hosting and our database
• Google: only if a builder connects Google Calendar, to check busy times and add booked sessions

These providers may store data in the United States or other countries. We may also share information if the law requires it.

If you connect Google Calendar, Skoby reads only your free/busy times (not event details) to hide times you’re busy, and creates an event on your calendar for each session booked through Skoby. You can disconnect at any time from your Availability page.

Skoby’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We don’t use Google data for advertising and don’t sell it.

We use one cookie to keep you signed in, and one to remember who referred you if you arrive through someone’s link. No ads, no tracking cookies, no third-party analytics.

We keep your information while your account is open. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your profile and session details within 30 days, except records we must keep for payments, tax or legal reasons.

You can ask to see, correct or delete your information, or ask a question about how we handle it, by emailing hello@skoby.co. Depending on where you live (for example, under Canada’s PIPEDA, or in some U.S. states), you may have additional rights, and we’ll honour them.

Skoby is for people aged 18 and over. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone younger.

If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we’ll let you know by email or on the site.
