Privacy Policy

SkillBridge Global Services PLC ("we", "us", "our") is an education and migration consultancy that helps students study at universities in South Korea and helps workers access opportunities abroad, together with language training, skills development, document support and visa advisory services. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the rights you have. It applies to our website, applications, and all services we provide.

By using our website or services, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information we collect

We collect information you provide to us, information generated as you use our services, and information from third parties involved in your application.

Identity & contact details — full name, date of birth, gender, nationality, photograph, email, phone number and address.
Passport & immigration data — passport details, visa history, residence information and other data required by universities, employers or immigration authorities.
Academic & professional records — transcripts, certificates, qualifications, work history and references.
Financial & sponsorship information — proof of funds, bank statements, sponsor details and payment information.
Documents you upload — any files you submit as part of your application or assessment.
Communications — messages, enquiries and correspondence with us.

(b) Information collected automatically

Device and browser information, IP address, pages visited and actions taken on our website.
Cookies and similar technologies (see our Cookie Policy).

(c) Information from third parties

Universities, partner institutions, employers and our placement partners.
Payment processors, identity-verification providers and, where relevant, immigration authorities.

2. How we use your information

To assess your eligibility and prepare, submit and manage your study, work, language or skills application.
To liaise with universities, employers, partner institutions and immigration authorities on your behalf.
To process payments, issue invoices and manage your account.
To communicate with you about your application, documents, status and our services.
To provide support, including via our AI assistant and our team.
To comply with legal, regulatory and immigration requirements, and to detect and prevent fraud or misuse.
To improve our website and services.

3. Our legal basis

We process your information where it is necessary to provide our services to you (performance of a contract), where you have given consent, where we have a legitimate interest (such as improving and securing our services), and where we must comply with a legal obligation.

We share your information only as needed to deliver our services. We do not sell your personal data. We may share it with:

Universities and partner institutions to process your admission, and our placement partners who facilitate university placements and programmes.
Employers and recruitment partners for work-abroad placements.
Immigration authorities, embassies and visa centres as required for your visa.
Payment processors to handle payments securely.
Service providers who support our operations (hosting, communications, document handling) under confidentiality obligations.
Authorities and regulators where required by law or to protect our rights.

5. International data transfers

Because we place applicants with institutions and employers abroad — including in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Finland, Lithuania, Malta and the USA — your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your own. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled securely and only for the purposes described in this policy.

6. Data retention

We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services and to comply with legal, accounting and regulatory obligations. When it is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

7. How we protect your information

We use technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including access controls, encryption in transit and secure storage. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information and to notify you of any material breach as required by law.

8. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may:

Access the personal information we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
Request deletion of your information where there is no overriding legal reason to keep it.
Object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Request a copy of your information in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at kennedy@skillbridgegsl.com. Note that withdrawing certain information may prevent us from continuing your application.

9. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. See our Cookie Policy for details.

10. Children

Our services are intended for applicants aged 16 and above. Where an applicant is a minor, we require the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the latest version. Material changes will be communicated through our website or directly where appropriate.
