When you use SkyBookmark, we collect information to provide and improve our services. This includes:

• Account Information: Your username, email address, and password (stored as a secure hash) when you register.
• Bookmark Data: URLs, titles, descriptions, tags, and notes you save to your account.
• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, and interactions (likes, comments, shares) within the platform.
• Device & Log Data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and timestamps associated with your requests.

• Personalise your feed and surface relevant bookmarks from people you follow.
• Send transactional emails (e.g., password resets, account notifications).
• Analyse usage patterns to fix bugs and improve the platform.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

We do not use your data for automated profiling or targeted advertising.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• Public Bookmarks: Bookmarks you save without marking as private are visible to other users and search engines.

SkyBookmark uses cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep you logged in between sessions (session cookies).
• Remember your preferences and settings.
• Understand how users navigate the site (analytics cookies).

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Note that blocking session cookies will prevent you from staying logged in. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal purposes.

Anonymised, aggregated analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to any individual.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information via your account settings.
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated data.
• Portability: Request an export of your bookmarks in a machine-readable format.
• Objection: Object to certain processing activities.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@skybookmark.com.

We implement industry-standard security measures including HTTPS encryption in transit, hashed password storage, and access controls to protect your data. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your SkyBookmark account.

If you become aware of any security vulnerability, please contact us immediately at security@skybookmark.com.

SkyBookmark is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you via email or a prominent notice on the site at least 14 days before the change takes effect.

Your continued use of SkyBookmark after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
