1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how EmpowerSkills (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects your personal information when you visit empowerskills.co or use our SAP training courses and community features (the “Services”). By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, and any details you enter when registering, enrolling in a course, posting in the community, or contacting us. When you make a purchase, our payment processors (Razorpay, and PayPal where enabled) collect your payment details directly; we do not receive or store your full card or bank account numbers. We also automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited, including through cookies (see Section 5).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to: create and manage your account; provide access to purchased courses and track your learning progress; process payments and send purchase confirmations; respond to support requests; send you service-related communications; operate community features such as Forums and Groups; and improve and secure the Site.
4. Legal Basis for Processing
Where applicable (including for visitors in the EU/UK), we process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of a contract (e.g., providing course access you purchased), your consent (e.g., optional cookies, marketing communications), our legitimate interests (e.g., securing the Site, improving our Services), and compliance with legal obligations.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how the Site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality, such as staying logged in.
6. Payment Processing
Payments are handled by third-party payment processors (currently Razorpay, with PayPal available where enabled). These providers have their own privacy policies governing how they handle your payment information. We only receive confirmation of payment status and transaction references, not your full payment credentials.
7. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with: service providers who help us operate the Site (course platform, email delivery, hosting and caching, payment processing); other members, where you choose to post in public community areas (Activity Feed, Groups, Forums); and authorities, where required by law.
8. Data Retention
We retain your account and course data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data, subject to any records we are legally required to keep (e.g., payment or tax records).
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; correct inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; restrict or object to certain processing; and receive a copy of your data in a portable format. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at ask@empowerskills.co. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe as required by applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where it applies and India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
11. International Data Transfers
We are based in India, and your information may be processed in India or by service providers located in other countries. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we take steps to ensure it receives an adequate level of protection.
12. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are intended for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
13. Community Content
Information you choose to share in public areas of the Site, such as Forums, Groups, or the Activity Feed, is visible to other members and is not covered by the confidentiality protections of this policy. Please use discretion when posting.
