Privacy Policy for Skillzo
Effective Date: October 4, 2025
At Skillzo, accessible at skillzo.site, we are committed to protecting your privacy while providing a free password strength checker and generator. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data, ensuring transparency and compliance with global data protection laws like GDPR and CCPA.
1. Data We Collect
We minimize data collection to prioritize your privacy:
- Password Processing: Passwords entered for strength checks or generated by our tool are processed entirely client-side using the zxcvbn library. No passwords or related data are sent to or stored on our servers.
- Analytics: We may use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage data (e.g., page views, session duration) to improve site performance. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected unless voluntarily provided (e.g., via contact forms).
- Cookies: We use cookies for essential functions (e.g., dark mode preference) and advertising (via Google AdSense). These do not store sensitive data like passwords.
2. How We Use Your Data
Data processed by Skillzo is used to:
- Perform password strength checks and generate secure passwords.
- Enhance site functionality through analytics insights.
- Serve personalized ads via Google AdSense to support our free service.
We do not sell, share, or transfer your data to third parties except as outlined below (e.g., Google AdSense).
3. Third-Party Services
Skillzo integrates the following third-party services:
- zxcvbn Library: Processes password strength client-side. No data is sent externally.
- Google AdSense: Serves ads to fund our service. AdSense may use cookies for personalization. See Google’s Privacy Policy.
- Three.js and Font Awesome: Used for animations and icons, processed client-side with no data collection.
4. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies for:
- Essential Functions: Storing preferences like dark mode.
- Analytics: Tracking site usage via Google Analytics for optimization.
- Advertising: Enabling AdSense to deliver relevant ads.
You can disable cookies in your browser, but this may affect features like dark mode. Opt out of personalized ads via Google’s Ad Settings.
5. Data Security
We ensure security through:
- Client-Side Processing: Passwords are processed locally, never sent to servers.
- HTTPS: Secure communication protocols protect all site interactions.
- No Storage: We do not store passwords or user inputs unless provided voluntarily (e.g., contact forms).
You are responsible for securing your device and network when using our tool.
6. Third-Party Links
Our site may link to external sites (e.g., social media). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before sharing data.
7. Children’s Privacy
Skillzo is not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has used our tool, contact us at support@skillzo.site.
8. International Data Transfers
Since password processing is client-side, no data is transferred internationally. Analytics or ads may involve third-party servers; see Google’s Privacy Policy for details.
9. Your Rights
You may have rights to:
- Access any personal data we hold (typically none).
- Request deletion of data (e.g., contact form submissions).
- Opt out of cookies or personalized ads.
