SKYWYE (“SKYWYE,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) operates a digital marketplace and collaboration platform that connects Brands, Creators, and Affiliate Partners for content creation, promotional campaigns, affiliate opportunities, gifting arrangements, and other commercial collaborations.
This Privacy Policy explains how SKYWYE collects, uses, processes, discloses, stores, retains, transfers, and protects Personal Information when an individual visits or uses the SKYWYE website, mobile or web applications, application programming interfaces, communication tools, payment features, and related products or services (collectively, the “Platform” or the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy applies to visitors, registered users, representatives of business users, and other individuals whose Personal Information is processed through the Platform. It does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that SKYWYE does not control.
By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent, SKYWYE will request consent in an appropriate manner before carrying out the relevant processing.
The information we collect depends on how you interact with SKYWYE, the features you use, the account type you select, and the information you choose or are required to provide.
You should not provide Personal Information about another person unless you have the authority and any required consent to do so.
Certain information processed for identity, payment, tax, fraud-prevention, or compliance purposes may be considered sensitive under applicable law. SKYWYE will limit the use of such information to purposes that are reasonably necessary and legally permitted.
SKYWYE does not intend to collect or use biometric identifiers for independent identification or surveillance. A third-party identity-verification provider may use facial comparison or similar technology to confirm that an identification document matches a submitted photograph or selfie. Where this occurs, the provider’s terms and privacy notice apply, and SKYWYE will provide additional notice or obtain consent where legally required.
Users should not upload health information, precise financial credentials, government identifiers, or other highly sensitive information into public profiles, campaign materials, or Platform messages unless expressly requested through an approved secure process.
Where applicable law requires SKYWYE to identify a legal basis for processing, we rely on one or more of the following:
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing completed before withdrawal. Some information is necessary to provide particular Platform functions; if you do not provide it, those functions may be unavailable.
SKYWYE may use artificial intelligence, machine learning, rules-based systems, and other automated technologies to support:
These systems may analyze profile data, campaign information, usage activity, public social statistics, transaction signals, and other relevant information. SKYWYE does not intend to use automated systems to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects without meaningful human involvement, appropriate safeguards, and any notice or consent required by law.
SKYWYE may use de-identified or aggregated information to train, test, evaluate, or improve Platform features. We will not use private messages or confidential campaign materials to train general-purpose third-party AI models unless we provide appropriate notice, have a lawful basis, and implement suitable contractual and technical protections.
User Content is distinct from SKYWYE’s own content and may include Personal Information. Users are responsible for ensuring that User Content is lawful, accurate, appropriately licensed, and does not violate the privacy or intellectual-property rights of others. SKYWYE may process User Content to host, transmit, display, review, moderate, secure, and administer the Platform, and as otherwise permitted by the Terms of Service and applicable Collaboration Agreements. Public or marketplace-visible User Content may be viewed, copied, or shared by others, so Users should not include information they do not wish to disclose.
SKYWYE is designed to help Users discover and evaluate one another. Depending on Platform settings and account type, profile information may be visible to other registered Users, selected account types, the general public, and search engines where public indexing is enabled.
Visible information may include a display name, profile photograph, business name, logo, biography, portfolio, categories, social links, public statistics, ratings, reviews, campaign history, badges, and other information chosen for display.
Where available, Users may control whether their profile is public or limited, whether certain details appear in search, and who may contact them. These controls may not remove information already copied, cached, or independently obtained by others. SKYWYE may retain limited profile information after account closure where necessary for transaction integrity, fraud prevention, legal compliance, or dispute records.
SKYWYE may provide Users with analytics such as profile views, impressions, applications, invitations, response rates, campaign performance, clicks, conversions, sales, commission events, engagement metrics, or audience statistics. Some statistics may be supplied by Users, retrieved from connected platforms, received from third parties, or calculated by SKYWYE. Such statistics may be delayed, estimated, incomplete, or affected by third-party data availability.
SKYWYE may use Stripe, including Stripe Connect, or other Payment Providers to facilitate payment collection, payout, refunds, identity verification, fraud prevention, tax reporting, and related services. When you use payment functionality, information may be provided directly to the Payment Provider or transmitted by SKYWYE to that provider.
Payment Providers may process personal, business, billing, banking, transaction, tax, government-identification, and verification information under their own terms and privacy notices. SKYWYE may receive transaction identifiers, amounts, payout status, refund status, fee information, limited payment method details, verification status, and other information needed to administer Platform transactions.
SKYWYE generally does not receive or store complete payment-card numbers or complete bank-account credentials when those details are collected directly by a PCI DSS-compliant Payment Provider. Users should review the applicable Payment Provider’s privacy notice before using payment services.
SKYWYE may provide messaging, notifications, support tools, and other communication features. Communications made through the Platform may be stored, processed, and reviewed by automated systems or authorized personnel where reasonably necessary to:
Users should treat Platform communications as official records of Platform activity and should avoid sending unnecessary government identifiers, complete payment credentials, or other sensitive information through messages.
SKYWYE may send service-related communications concerning account activity, security, payments, collaborations, policy changes, and other essential Platform matters. These messages are necessary for operation of the Services and generally cannot be opted out of while an account remains active.
Where permitted by law, SKYWYE may also send marketing by email, SMS, push notification, browser notification, or in-app message. Marketing may include product updates, new features, campaigns, opportunities, events, promotions, research, or SKYWYE news. Where consent is required, SKYWYE will obtain it before sending marketing communications.
Users may unsubscribe through the link or setting provided, adjust notification preferences where available, or contact SKYWYE. Opting out of one communication channel may not opt the User out of all channels.
Some browsers provide “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, the Platform may not respond to them in all circumstances. Where required by applicable law, SKYWYE will recognize legally valid browser-based opt-out signals, such as Global Privacy Control, for relevant processing activities.
The Platform may integrate with or link to payment providers, social networks, authentication services, commerce platforms, affiliate networks, analytics tools, and other websites or services. Third parties process information under their own terms and privacy practices. Once you leave SKYWYE or interact directly with a third party, this Privacy Policy may no longer apply. SKYWYE is not responsible for privacy practices of services it does not control.
SKYWYE retains Personal Information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Platform, maintain transaction and collaboration records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, comply with tax and accounting obligations, and establish or defend legal claims.
Retention periods vary depending on the type of information, legal requirements, sensitivity, risk, contractual commitments, and operational needs. Examples include:
When information is no longer required, SKYWYE may delete it, anonymize it, aggregate it, or securely dispose of it. De-identified or aggregated information that can no longer reasonably identify an individual may be retained and used for lawful business purposes.
Users may request account closure or deletion through available account controls or by contacting SKYWYE. After verifying the request, SKYWYE will begin the deletion or anonymization process within a reasonable period and will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within 30 to 45 days where those timeframes apply.
Account closure does not require immediate deletion of all information. SKYWYE may retain information where reasonably necessary or legally permitted, including:
Public content previously shared or copied by other Users may remain available outside SKYWYE’s control. SKYWYE may retain a limited record that an account was closed or restricted to prevent fraud or repeated violations.
SKYWYE uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect Personal Information against unauthorized access, loss, theft, misuse, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Safeguards may include:
No system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their login credentials and promptly notifying SKYWYE of suspected unauthorized access.
SKYWYE maintains procedures to assess and respond to suspected security incidents. Where a breach of security safeguards creates a legally defined risk requiring notification, SKYWYE will notify affected individuals, regulators, or other authorities as required by applicable law. Notification timing, content, and method will depend on legal requirements and the circumstances of the incident.
SKYWYE is intended for international use. Personal Information may be processed or stored outside your province, state, or country, including in Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions where SKYWYE or its service providers operate.
Privacy laws in other jurisdictions may differ from those in your location, and information may be subject to lawful access by courts, regulators, law-enforcement agencies, or governmental authorities in those jurisdictions. Where required, SKYWYE will use appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections, approved transfer mechanisms, and security controls.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have some or all of the following rights:
Rights are subject to legal exceptions. SKYWYE may request information reasonably necessary to verify identity and authority before completing a request. SKYWYE will not discriminate against a User for exercising applicable privacy rights.
Where Canadian privacy law applies, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act and applicable provincial privacy laws, individuals may request access to Personal Information under SKYWYE’s control, request correction, withdraw consent subject to legal or contractual restrictions, and challenge SKYWYE’s compliance. Individuals may also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the applicable provincial regulator if they are not satisfied with SKYWYE’s response.
Where the EU General Data Protection Regulation or UK GDPR applies, individuals may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, and complaint to a supervisory authority. Users may also have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects, subject to legal exceptions.
Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of Personal Information, and to opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling.
SKYWYE does not knowingly sell Personal Information for money. If SKYWYE’s use of advertising or analytics technologies is treated as a sale or sharing under applicable law, SKYWYE will provide required notices and opt-out methods. Requests may be submitted using the contact details below.
Users are responsible for providing accurate, complete, and current information and for updating account details when they change. SKYWYE may take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information used for material decisions is sufficiently accurate, complete, and current.
The Platform is not intended for individuals under 18 years of age, and Users must be at least 18 to create an account or enter collaborations through SKYWYE. SKYWYE does not knowingly collect Personal Information from children. If SKYWYE becomes aware that an ineligible individual has provided Personal Information, it will take reasonable steps to delete the information promptly and close the relevant account, subject to legal retention requirements.
SKYWYE is responsible for Personal Information under its control and will designate an individual to oversee privacy compliance, policies, requests, training, vendor management, incident response, and complaints.
Users may contact SKYWYE regarding privacy questions, access or correction requests, consent withdrawal, data portability, account deletion, marketing preferences, complaints, or concerns.
SKYWYE aims to acknowledge and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, commonly 30 days in some jurisdictions and 45 days in others, subject to permitted extensions.
If you remain dissatisfied, you may have the right to complain to the privacy or data-protection regulator in your jurisdiction, including the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, an EU or UK supervisory authority, or an applicable U.S. state regulator.
SKYWYE may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in the Platform, business practices, technologies, service providers, laws, or regulatory requirements. The updated policy will state a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required by law, SKYWYE will provide additional notice, request renewed consent, or apply changes only prospectively. Continued use of the Platform after an update will constitute acknowledgement of the revised policy where permitted by law.
