Privacy Policy

SkillClass — Last updated: 14 August 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how CyrusX LLC, doing business as SkillClass ("we", "us", "our"), collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you interact with our social media accounts, including messages and comments handled by our automated messaging service, and when you visit skillclass.com.

This policy applies to our presence on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, and any other social or messaging platform where we operate an account now or in the future (each, a "Platform"). It also contains a section dedicated to California consumers and a section addressing Michigan law.

Owner and data controller

1. Information we collect

Through social media platforms

When you send a direct message to, comment on, reply to, mention, or otherwise interact with one of our accounts on any Platform, we may receive:

• Your user ID and public username or handle on that Platform
• Your public display name and profile picture, where the Platform provides them
• The content of messages, comments, replies, or mentions you send us
• Timestamps, conversation identifiers, and message identifiers for those interactions
• Publicly available profile information the Platform exposes, such as a professional headline or public bio
• Aggregate engagement metrics the Platform reports to us, such as counts of views, likes, or follows

What we actually receive varies by Platform and depends on that Platform's own settings and permissions, and on your privacy choices within it.

Through our website

• Your email address and name, if you choose to submit them through a form
• Usage data such as IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and referring pages

We do not collect your password, payment card details, government identifiers, private contact information, or any data from your accounts beyond what you send us directly or what the Platform makes available to us.

2. How we use your information

• To read and respond to your messages, comments, replies, and mentions
• To generate relevant replies, including replies produced with automated or AI-assisted tools
• To provide customer support and answer questions about our services
• To operate, maintain, and improve the reliability of our services
• To understand aggregate engagement so we can improve the content we publish
• To comply with legal obligations and to protect our rights and the rights of others

We will not use your information for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes without telling you first.

3. Automated and AI-assisted responses

Some replies from our accounts are generated automatically using AI-assisted software rather than written by a person in real time. Message and comment content may be processed by third-party AI service providers for the sole purpose of composing a reply. These providers act on our instructions and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes, including training their own models.

Automated replies may be inaccurate or incomplete. If you would prefer to communicate with a person instead of an automated system, say so in your message, reply "STOP" to opt out of automated messages, or email [email protected].

4. We do not sell your personal information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not sold or shared personal information for these purposes in the preceding twelve months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

5. When we disclose information

We disclose information only in these limited circumstances:

• Service providers that host our infrastructure, process messages, or provide AI-assisted reply generation on our behalf, under written agreements requiring confidentiality and restricting use to our instructions
• The Platforms themselves — including Meta Platforms, Inc., LinkedIn Corporation, TikTok Inc., X Corp., and Google LLC — to the extent required for their messaging and content services to function
• Legal requirements, where disclosure is required by applicable law, subpoena, or other valid legal process, or to protect our rights, safety, or property
• Business transfers, if CyrusX LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different policy

Each Platform independently collects information about you under its own privacy policy, over which we have no control. Your use of a Platform is governed by that Platform's terms and privacy policy in addition to this one.

6. Data retention

We retain message and comment content and associated identifiers for as long as needed to provide and support our services, and generally no longer than 24 months from your last interaction with us. Website usage data is retained for up to 26 months. We may retain information longer where required by law or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Once a retention period expires, the information is deleted.

7. Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the information in our possession, including encrypted connections, restricted access credentials, and secure storage of API access tokens. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

If we discover a breach of security involving unencrypted personal information that causes, or is likely to cause, substantial loss or injury, we will notify affected individuals without unreasonable delay, consistent with the Michigan Identity Theft Protection Act (MCL 445.61 et seq.) and any other applicable state breach notification law.

8. Your rights and how to exercise them

You may ask us to:

• Confirm whether we hold information about you, and provide a copy of it
• Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date
• Delete information we hold about you
• Provide your information in a portable, machine-readable format
• Stop sending you marketing communications
• Stop sending you automated replies

To make a request, email [email protected] with the subject line "Data Request" and include the username or handle, and the Platform, you used to contact us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights.

You can also revoke our access at any time from within the relevant Platform's own settings — for example, under Apps and Websites on Instagram and Facebook, Permitted Services on LinkedIn, or the equivalent authorization screen on other Platforms.

9. Information for Michigan residents

CyrusX LLC is organized under the laws of the State of Michigan and operates from West Bloomfield, Michigan. This section addresses Michigan-specific provisions. Michigan has not enacted a comprehensive consumer data privacy statute of the kind adopted in California and certain other states; the protections described here arise from specific Michigan statutes and from the rights we extend voluntarily to all users regardless of residence.

Breach notification

The Michigan Identity Theft Protection Act (MCL 445.61 et seq.) requires notice to Michigan residents following a security breach involving unencrypted personal information where the breach has caused, or is likely to cause, substantial loss or injury. We will provide that notice without unreasonable delay, and will include the information the statute requires.

Records of educational and media purchases

The Michigan Preservation of Personal Privacy Act (MCL 445.1711 et seq.) restricts disclosure of records identifying a customer as having purchased, leased, rented, or borrowed written materials, sound recordings, or video recordings. Where we sell or provide access to courses, recordings, or written educational materials, we treat those records as confidential and do not disclose them except as that Act permits — including with your written consent, as necessary to complete your order, or as required by court order.

Social media credentials

Michigan's Internet Privacy Protection Act (MCL 37.271 et seq.) prohibits employers and educational institutions from requiring a person to disclose credentials to a personal internet account. We will never ask you for the password to any social media or other personal account, and you should not provide one to us or to anyone claiming to represent us.

Unfair practices

Nothing in this policy is intended to waive any right you may have under the Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCL 445.901 et seq.) or any other Michigan law that cannot be waived by agreement.

Michigan requests

Michigan residents may use the same process described in Section 8 to access, correct, or delete information we hold. Email [email protected] with the subject line "Michigan Privacy Request". We respond to these requests on the same terms we offer residents of states with comprehensive privacy statutes.

10. Information for California consumers

This section supplements the rest of this policy and applies to consumers residing in California under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. Where this section conflicts with anything else in this policy, this section controls for California residents.

Categories of personal information we collect

We do not collect sensitive personal information as that term is defined under California law. We collect this information directly from you when you contact us or use our website, and indirectly from the Platforms when you interact with our accounts.

Your California rights

• Right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected, the sources, the purposes, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it
• Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to legal exceptions
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information
• Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information — we do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information — we do not collect it
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights

How to submit a request

Email [email protected] with the subject line "California Privacy Request". So that we can verify your identity, please include enough information for us to reasonably confirm you are the person the information relates to, and describe your request clearly enough for us to evaluate it. We cannot respond if we are unable to verify your identity.

You may submit up to two requests in any twelve-month period. An authorized agent registered with the California Secretary of State may submit a request on your behalf. A parent or guardian may submit a request on behalf of a minor in their care.

We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, we will tell you why and how much longer we need, up to a total of 90 days. Our disclosure will cover the preceding 12-month period. There is no fee unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, in which case we will explain our decision.

11. Other US state privacy rights

Residents of other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and port their personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising or profiling. We honor these requests through the same process described above. Because we do not sell personal information or engage in targeted advertising, most opt-out rights do not apply to our practices.

12. How we handle Do Not Track signals

Our website does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals, because no common industry standard for them has been adopted. To find out whether third-party services we use honor Do Not Track, please review their own privacy policies.

13. Children's privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Several Platforms set their own minimum age of 13 or higher. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.

14. International users

CyrusX LLC operates in the United States, and information we collect is stored and processed there. If you contact us from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, including as we begin operating on additional Platforms. The revised version will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top, and material changes will be highlighted where practical. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
