Last updated May 14, 2026

Overview

This policy describes what information RELAY Skill Exchange collects, how we use it, and who we share it with. We keep it simple: we collect only what we need to run the platform.

Information We Collect

  • Email address - used for authentication via magic link and for transactional messages such as match notifications and event updates.
  • Profile information - your name, bio, avatar, and public username that you choose to provide.
  • Teach offers and learn requests - content you submit to the platform, including titles, descriptions, and categories.
  • Usage data - anonymized analytics about how you interact with the platform (pages visited, features used).

How We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate the platform: authenticate your account, display your profile, surface your offers and requests to the community, send you relevant notifications, and improve the platform over time. We do not sell your information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to operate the platform, including infrastructure, hosting, email delivery, analytics, error tracking, and spam protection. These services may receive limited data necessary to perform their function. Each has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage to maintain your session, remember your theme preference, and support analytics. We do not use advertising cookies or sell cookie data.

Data Retention

We retain your account and content for as long as your account is active. If you would like your account or content removed, contact us and we will process your request.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will update the date at the top of this page when we do. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
