It covers official Skillazo-run Skill Contests (judge‑determined) and user‑generated Community Challenges (likes‑based ranking; badges only).

1. Controller & Contact

Controller: Skillazo Inc., a Delaware corporation. Contact: privacy@skillazo.co

2. Information We Collect

3. How We Use Information (Purposes & Legal Bases)

  • Operate official Skill Contests (likes are not votes), prevent manipulation, and adjudicate results — contract / legitimate interests.
  • Process payouts and verify identity (KYC/AML; sanctions; tax reporting) — legal obligation / legitimate interests.
  • Safety, integrity, and moderation (automated and human review), device/IP bans — legitimate interests / legal obligation.
  • Communicate about updates, service, and support; marketing with consent where required — contract / legitimate interests / consent.

4. Sharing

  • Public Content you post (e.g., videos, like counts, badges, leaderboard rank) may be visible on and off the Platform where sharing is enabled.
  • Legal/Safety disclosures and Business Transfers as permitted by law.

5. International Data Transfers

We process data in the United States and other countries. For EEA/UK/Swiss transfers we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses and appropriate safeguards.

  • Moderation/fraud logs and device signals (up to 24 months).
  • KYC/AML and tax records related to payouts (5–7 years or as required by law).
  • Backups and records needed for legal claims.

7. Your Rights & Choices
