Understanding Data Usage and Tracking Technologies on Skillgrove
Introduction to Our Data Usage Policy
At Skillgrove, we believe in complete transparency about how we collect, use, and manage data on our platform. This comprehensive policy explains the tracking technologies we employ to enhance your experience while learning AR/VR development and game engine integration. We use various data collection methods to personalize your educational journey, analyze platform performance, and provide targeted learning resources that match your specific interests and skill level.
Our tracking technologies help us understand how learners interact with our AR/VR curriculum, which modules are most effective, and how we can improve the overall learning experience. By collecting anonymized usage data, we can identify patterns that help us refine our teaching methods, suggest relevant courses, and create more engaging content for our Kazakhstan-based and international students.
Types of Tracking Technologies We Use
Essential Tracking
These technologies are necessary for basic platform functionality. They enable user authentication, maintain session security, remember your login status, and ensure proper navigation through our AR/VR learning modules. Without these essential trackers, you wouldn't be able to access your personalized dashboard or save your progress through our game engine courses.
Functional Enhancement
Functional trackers remember your preferences, language settings, and customization choices. They store information about your preferred learning pace, which AR/VR specializations interest you most, and your progress tracking preferences. These help create a more personalized experience tailored to your individual learning style and goals.
Performance Analytics
We collect anonymous data about platform performance, page load times, and user interaction patterns. This information helps us identify technical issues, optimize our AR/VR simulation tools, and improve the overall platform responsiveness. Performance data ensures our game engine tutorials run smoothly across different devices and browsers.
Educational Insights
Educational tracking helps us understand learning patterns, course completion rates, and areas where students need additional support. This data enables us to suggest relevant supplementary materials, identify knowledge gaps, and continuously improve our AR/VR curriculum based on real student feedback and performance metrics.
How Tracking Enhances Your Learning Experience
Our data collection directly improves your educational journey in several meaningful ways. When you're working through our Unity integration modules, tracking data helps us identify which concepts require additional explanation or practice exercises. If multiple students struggle with the same AR development technique, we can create supplementary tutorials or adjust our teaching approach accordingly.
Personalized Learning Paths: By analyzing your progress patterns, we can recommend specific AR/VR specializations that align with your interests and career goals. If you excel at 3D modeling but need more practice with C# scripting, our system can suggest targeted exercises and resources to strengthen those areas.
Performance Optimization: Usage data helps us ensure our platform runs efficiently, especially important for resource-intensive AR/VR simulations. We monitor which browsers and devices work best with our interactive content, allowing us to optimize performance and provide technical guidance to students experiencing difficulties.
All tracking data is processed in accordance with international privacy standards and is used exclusively to improve educational outcomes and platform functionality. We never sell personal data to third parties or use it for purposes unrelated to your learning experience.
Managing Your Data Preferences
You have complete control over your data preferences and can modify tracking settings at any time. Most modern browsers provide built-in tools for managing cookies and tracking preferences, allowing you to customize your experience based on your comfort level and privacy preferences.
Google Chrome
Navigate to Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and site data. Here you can block third-party cookies, clear existing data, or add specific sites to your allow/block lists for customized control.
Mozilla Firefox
Access Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data. Firefox offers enhanced tracking protection with custom settings for different types of trackers and cross-site tracking prevention.
Safari
Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data. Safari includes intelligent tracking prevention features and allows you to prevent cross-site tracking while maintaining site functionality.
Microsoft Edge
Visit Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and stored data. Edge provides tracking prevention levels from basic to strict, with detailed explanations of what each setting blocks.
Data Retention and Storage
We maintain different retention periods for various types of data based on their purpose and legal requirements. Essential login and security data is kept for the duration of your account activity, while analytical data is typically anonymized and aggregated within 90 days of collection. Course progress and learning analytics are preserved to maintain continuity in your educational journey.
Short-term Data: Session cookies and temporary preferences are automatically deleted when you close your browser or after 24 hours of inactivity. This includes temporary login states and in-progress quiz data that hasn't been saved to your permanent record.
Long-term Data: Course completion records, certificates earned, and learning preferences are maintained indefinitely to support your ongoing education and career development. You can request deletion of this information at any time by contacting our support team.
Third-Party Integrations and Data Sharing
Our platform integrates with carefully selected third-party services to enhance functionality and provide comprehensive learning analytics. These integrations include video hosting for our AR/VR tutorials, assessment tools for skill evaluation, and communication platforms for student collaboration. Each third-party service is evaluated for privacy compliance and data security standards.
We share only necessary data with these partners and ensure they maintain equivalent privacy protections. For example, our video analytics partner receives anonymized viewing data to help us understand which tutorial segments are most effective, but never receives personally identifiable information about individual students.
International Data Transfers
As an educational platform serving students in Kazakhstan and internationally, some data processing occurs across borders to ensure optimal performance and access to global learning resources. We ensure all international data transfers comply with applicable privacy laws and maintain appropriate security measures during transmission and storage.
Our primary servers are located in secure data centers with redundant backup systems to ensure continuity of your learning experience. We use encryption for all data transfers and maintain detailed logs of data access for security auditing purposes.
This policy was last updated on March 15, 2025, and reflects our current data handling practices and technological capabilities.
