5. Cookies, analytics, and affiliate tracking

Skoolco.com may use cookies, pixels, scripts, local storage, or similar technologies. These technologies may help the website function, measure website performance, remember preferences, protect the website, and track affiliate referrals.

Types of cookies and similar technologies we may use

• Essential cookies: These are necessary for the website to work properly and for basic security.
• Analytics cookies: These help us understand how visitors use the website, which pages are visited, and how we can improve our content.
• Affiliate tracking cookies or identifiers: These may be used to attribute clicks, trials, sign-ups, or purchases to our affiliate links.

Where required by law, we will only use non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies after you have given consent. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and, where available, through the cookie consent options on our website.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect how parts of the website function.

6. Affiliate links and third-party websites

All links to Skool on Skoolco.com are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you sign up, start a trial, or purchase through those links, at no extra cost to you.

When you click an affiliate link, you leave Skoolco.com and may be redirected to Skool.com or another third-party page. Those third parties may collect and process personal data under their own privacy policies, cookie policies, and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or terms of third-party websites. Please review the privacy policy and terms of any third-party website before submitting personal data there.

We do not sell your personal data. We may share limited personal data with third parties where this is necessary for the operation, security, analytics, affiliate tracking, or legal administration of our website.

We may share personal data with:

• Website hosting providers that host and deliver Skoolco.com.
• Technical service providers such as WordPress, website plugins, security tools, spam protection, analytics tools, or email/contact form tools.
• Affiliate partners or affiliate platforms where necessary to attribute referrals, sign-ups, trials, purchases, or commissions.
• Professional advisers such as accountants, legal advisers, or tax advisers, if needed.
• Authorities or regulators if we are legally required to do so.

We only share personal data where we have a valid reason to do so and aim to limit the data shared to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.

8. International transfers

Some service providers, analytics providers, affiliate partners, or technical tools may process personal data outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or your country of residence.

Where required, we aim to rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

9. How long we keep personal data

We do not keep personal data longer than necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

As a general guideline:

• Contact messages: kept for as long as needed to respond and handle the matter, and then for a reasonable period for administrative or legal reference.
• Website logs and security data: kept for a limited period needed for website security, troubleshooting, and fraud prevention.
• Analytics data: kept according to the retention settings of the analytics tool used, preferably in aggregated or anonymized form where possible.
• Affiliate and commission records: kept for as long as necessary for commission tracking, payment, tax, accounting, dispute handling, and legal obligations.
• Cookie consent records: kept for as long as necessary to remember and document your cookie choices.
