Skillful Means Marketing LLC is committed to protecting your data privacy and this Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) sets forth the terms and conditions regarding how Skillful Means processes personal information on individuals (“you”) that access or use our website or otherwise engage with us, and other third parties.  This Privacy Policy describes, among other issues, the types of personal information we collect, the purposes for which we use it, the third parties with whom we share it, and any rights and responsibilities you may have regarding such personal information.  

We strive to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness, and integrity in all our operations. Likewise, we are dedicated to protecting our customers’, consumers’, and online visitors’ privacy on our website.

PLEASE READ THIS PRIVACY POLICY CAREFULLY AS IT DESCRIBES YOUR RIGHTS, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND LIABILITIES. By accessing or using the Skillful Means Marketing website or otherwise providing us with personal information, you are consenting to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect personally identifiable information from the visitors to our website only on a voluntary basis. Personal information collected voluntarily may include name, postal address, email address, company name, and telephone number.

This information is collected if you request information from us, participate in a contest or sweepstakes, sign-up to join our email list, or request some other service or information from us. The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates, and respond to visitor inquiries.

Once information is reviewed, it is discarded or stored in our files. If we change the collection of personally identifiable information, we will inform you by placing a notice on our site. Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes and will not be sold or provided to third parties.

USE OF COOKIES AND WEB BEACONS

We may use cookies to help you personalize your online experience. Cookies are identifiers transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognize your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalize the site’s pages, or register with any of our site’s services, a cookie enables this website to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. You can accept or decline cookies by modifying your Web browser; however, if you decline cookies, you may not experience the interactive features of the site.

A web beacon is a transparent image file used to monitor your journey around a single website or collection of sites. They are also called web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site.

We may serve third party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in ads being served on our web site to ascertain how often you’ve seen an advertisement. No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot identify you with that information on our website.

Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Privacy software can override web beacons. Taking either action should not cause a problem with our site, should you so choose.

SOCIAL MEDIA

We may engage with you on various social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn). If you contact us on one of these platforms for customer support or otherwise, we may contact you via the social media’s direct message tools. Those communications are governed by this Privacy Policy and the policies and terms of the relevant social media platform. The information we receive will depend on the terms that govern your use of the social media platform(s) and any privacy settings you may have set. The site includes social media features and widgets (e.g., the LinkedIn “like” button, the “share this” button) or interactive programs that run on the site. These features may collect your IP address and which site page you are accessing and may set a cookie to enable the feature to function properly. Social media features and widgets are hosted by a third party or hosted directly on the site. Your interactions with these features are governed by the Privacy Policy of the relevant social media platform that provides them.

We often use online platforms owned and administered by a third-party service provider (e.g., Google, Zoom, and Skype for business). Please know our video teleconferencing may record the content, conversations, and discussions thereon, and such records may be stored or retained by our third-party service providers.
