How we use it
To determine whether your situation fits the free 30-minute consultation scope, to contact you about your request, and (only if you opt in) to send occasional updates about BC student funding. We do not sell, rent, or share your information for advertising.
How we store it
Submissions may be stored in our internal systems and routed to consultation specialists. We retain only what's needed to respond and follow up on your request, and we delete data when it's no longer needed for that purpose.
Cookies and analytics
The website may use minimal first-party analytics to understand traffic and improve the experience. We do not run cross-site tracking pixels for advertising.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you. Email info@skillucate.ca and we'll respond as quickly as we reasonably can.
Independence reminder
Skillucate is not StudentAid BC, the Government of British Columbia, the Government of Canada, or a school. Government student aid applications and information are available free from official sources and school financial-aid offices.
