Your Personal Profile
When we ask information of you, our primary interest is to provide you with more personalized service. We do not sell, rent or trade your name or personal details to other organizations unless you give us your permission to do so. You can always opt out of these services by simply updating your personal profile.
You have the ability to change or update your personal information at any time. You can do this by going to your personal profile. Just login and click "My Account".
Security measures
We use a secure server to encrypt credit card information before it is sent to us over the Internet. We also insist on password verification at sign-in to protect against unauthorized access to your personal profile and course history. If you leave the computer unattended without logging out of the site, we log you out automatically after some time has passed.
Free Email
When you sign up, we will also add you to our list to receive our Monthly Newsletter and occasional emails about special offers and promotions. You may unsubscribe from any of our mailing lists at any time.

Cookies
"Cookies" are small pieces of information that we store on your computer's browser or hard drive. We use cookies to customize the site for your country and language. Our cookies do not collect additional information from your computer's browser or hard drive. Most browsers allow you the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your computer, though doing so will cause you to lose many of the benefits of Skylingua.
IP addresses and browser type
Our website logs your computer's IP address and browser type, but we do not link this data to anything that can personally identify you. This means that a user's session will be tracked, but the user remains anonymous. We log this information so that we can monitor customer traffic patterns and site usage, which help us constantly improve the design and layout of Skylingua.

This site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that Skylingua is not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy statement applies only to information collected by the Skylingua website.
Refer a friend
If you decide to refer a friend to our site as part of Skylingua contests or other promotions, we ask you for the friend’s email address and give you the option of sending them a personal message. Skylingua will then send a one-time, automatically generated email message inviting your friend to visit our site. Skylingua stores the email address in your personal file solely for the purpose of crediting you if your friend becomes a member.
The Skylingua privacy policy is subject to change. If we decide to change the way we collect, use or share information, we will take commercially reasonable steps to notify members by way of an email that explains the changes and gives them the choice as to whether or not we may use their information in the new manner. If you have any questions about this policy statement, or about any of Skylingua’s other policies and practices, please contact us.
Security policy
Skylingua takes all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that every credit card transaction you make at Skylingua is safe. You can purchase Skylingua courses and services without worry because you will never have to pay for any unauthorized charge to your account made as a result of a purchase at our site. Such charges are virtually impossible at Skylingua. Your personal information is encrypted by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software so that it cannot be intercepted and read as it travels over the Internet.
Skylingua's secure server software is the very best available for credit card transactions online. It encrypts all of your personal information, including your name, credit card number and address. We have never had a case of credit card fraud at Skylingua, and we have already processed secure transactions.
If you ever discover a fraudulent charge on your billing statement, you must report it immediately to your credit card provider, in accordance with their standard procedures. In most countries, your provider cannot hold you liable for more than 50 USD of fraudulent charges. If your credit card provider discovers that a fraudulent charge on your account is the direct result of a purchase made through Skylingua's secure server, and if your provider refuses to cover the standard 50 USD liability, Skylingua will fully reimburse you up to that 50 USD liability.
This site makes use of forums, bulletin boards and chat rooms. Please remember that any information you disclose in these areas becomes public. You should always be cautious about the amount of personal information you give to anyone in this context.
Our Resources section offers links to other Spanish-related sites. Please be aware that when you visit these sites, you are subject to their privacy policies and practices. It's always a good idea to read their privacy statements before offering personal information.
You may be served cookies from our advertisers if you click on their banner ads on our site. We do not control, nor do we have access to any of the information they may collect.
