Who collects information?
When you supply personal information on a Skill Dynamics site, you share that information only with Skill Dynamics unless you are specifically told otherwise.

Most of these promotions are limited to United States or North American residents. If you leave our Web site using links to go to other third party Web sites, those third parties may gather information about you. This privacy policy does not cover the practices of those businesses.

What are cookies and how does Skill Dynamics use them?
