Last updated: November 14, 2026
This GDPR page explains how SkillPath Scholar ("we," "us," or "our"), available at https://learn.fashionre.com (the "Site"), handles personal data of visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland, in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes our general practices.
SkillPath Scholar is an informational and educational publication written by a group of writers. We share general guidance about online degrees, scholarships, financial aid, and professional certificates. We do not provide professional advice and we collect only a small amount of personal data, as explained below.
1. Data Controller
For the purposes of the GDPR, the owner of the Site acts as the data controller for personal data collected directly through the Site, such as messages sent through our contact form. You can contact the controller at amayoup@gmail.com. For data processed by third parties such as Google, those third parties may act as independent controllers under their own policies.
2. What Personal Data We Process
Depending on how you use the Site, we may process the following categories of personal data:
- Contact data: your name, email address, and the content of messages you send us.
- Comment data: the name, profile details, and text you submit if you comment on an article.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and referral source, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
- Advertising data: cookie identifiers and interaction data used by Google AdSense and its partners to show and measure ads.
We do not intentionally collect special categories of personal data, such as data about health, religion, political opinions, or ethnic origin. Please do not send such information to us.
3. Legal Bases for Processing
Under the GDPR, we must have a lawful basis to process personal data. We rely on the following:
- Consent (Article 6(1)(a)): for non-essential cookies, including advertising and measurement cookies, and for any optional communication you agree to. You can withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): for operating and securing the Site, preventing abuse, understanding how the Site is used in aggregated form, and replying to your inquiries, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)): where we must process data to comply with applicable laws.
- Contract or pre-contract steps (Article 6(1)(b)): where processing is needed to respond to a request you make to us.
4. Why We Process Your Data
We process personal data to run and improve the Site, to respond to your messages, to display advertising that helps fund the Site, to measure traffic, to keep the Site secure, and to meet legal requirements. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects on you.
5. Cookies, Advertising, and Consent
The Site uses cookies and similar technologies. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. For visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, we use or rely on a consent mechanism that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies before they are placed. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time through the cookie settings made available on the Site, through your browser settings, or by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com. To learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services, visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
6. Data Processors and Recipients
We share personal data only with parties that help us operate the Site or as required by law. These include Google (Blogger hosting, comments, statistics, AdSense, and possibly Analytics) and FormSubmit (which delivers contact form messages to our inbox). We do not sell personal data. Where a provider processes data on our behalf, we rely on the safeguards offered by that provider, such as its data processing terms.
7. International Data Transfers
Our hosting provider and some of our service providers operate in countries outside the EEA, including the United States. When personal data is transferred outside the EEA or the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards where available, such as adequacy decisions, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for certified companies, or Standard Contractual Clauses. By using the Site and giving consent where required, you understand that your data may be processed in these locations.
8. Data Retention
We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described. Contact messages are generally kept until your inquiry has been resolved and for a reasonable period afterward in case of follow-up questions. Comments remain on the Site until removed. Cookie data is retained according to the lifespan of each cookie and the policies of the provider. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
9. Your Rights Under the GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access: to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: to ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure: to ask us to delete your data in certain circumstances, often called the "right to be forgotten."
- Right to restriction: to ask us to limit how we use your data in certain situations.
- Right to data portability: to receive your data in a structured, commonly used format and to transmit it to another controller where applicable.
- Right to object: to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Right to withdraw consent: at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
- Right to lodge a complaint: with your local data protection supervisory authority.
10. How to Exercise Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please email us at amayoup@gmail.com with the subject line "GDPR Request" and describe what you would like us to do. We may ask you for information to verify your identity before acting on your request. We aim to respond within one month of receiving a valid request. If your request is complex or we receive many requests, we may extend this period as permitted by law, and we will let you know. We do not normally charge a fee, unless a request is clearly unfounded or excessive.
11. Children
The Site is not directed at children. We do not knowingly process the personal data of children under 16, or a lower age set by local law, without appropriate parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
12. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including secure HTTPS connections and the security features of the Blogger platform. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute protection. If a data breach affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant authorities and affected individuals where required by law.
13. Visitors from Outside the EEA
Many of our readers come from the United States and the Gulf region. We respect the privacy of all visitors and follow the principles of lawfulness, transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and accuracy for everyone. If you live in a country with its own data protection law, you may contact us to exercise the rights available to you under that law.
14. Informational Content and No Responsibility
The articles on the Site are provided for general informational and educational purposes. They are written by a group of writers and do not constitute professional, legal, financial, or academic advice. This page explains our data practices and does not create any additional responsibility for the content of the Site beyond what is stated in our Disclaimer and Terms and Conditions.
15. Changes to This Page
We may update this GDPR page when our practices or the law change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Please check back from time to time.
