At Skillfi, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data with absolute transparency. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information within our premium marketplace.

1. Information We Collect

To facilitate high-quality engagements, we collect specific data points:

• Identity Data (KYC): Government IDs, utility bills, and Liveness Check recordings necessary to verify the authenticity of all platform users.
• Professional Data: Resumes, portfolios, work history, and skills data provided during profile creation.
• Financial Data: Bank account or payment details processed securely via Paystack for subscription billing and contract payouts.

2. How We Use Your Information

Your data is strictly utilized to operate and improve the Skillfi marketplace:

• To verify your identity and maintain a secure, elite talent pool.
• To algorithmically match Clients with the most suitable Raters for their specific operational needs.
• To process payments, subscriptions, and facilitate seamless marketplace transactions.
• To send critical account alerts, platform updates, and curated role notifications.

3. Data Security & Storage

We employ enterprise-grade security protocols to protect your personal and financial information. KYC documents (IDs and utility bills) are stored securely and access is strictly audited. Payment information is never stored directly on our servers; it is vaulted securely with our payment processing partner, Paystack.

4. Third-Party Disclosures

We do not sell your personal data. Information is only shared with trusted third-party providers (such as identity verification services and payment gateways) solely for the purpose of executing the platform's core functions, or when explicitly required by law.
