Privacy Policy

How we collect, use and protect information through the Skip the Bio website.

Effective date 24 September 2026

Skip the Bio is operated by August Three LLC. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect personal information when you visit www.skipthebio.com, submit an inquiry, join a mailing list, propose a guest, request services, or otherwise interact with us online. It also describes choices and rights that may be available to you.

Information we collect

Information you provide

  • Contact information, such as your name, email address, telephone number, company, title, and location.
  • Inquiry and business information, including the services you are considering, project details, proposed

guests, partnership interests, sponsorship inquiries, and messages you send us.

  • Transaction information, such as the service purchased, amount, billing name and address, payment

status, invoice details, and limited payment-method information supplied by our payment processor. Full card details are generally collected and processed by the payment processor rather than stored by us.

  • Content and materials you choose to submit, such as biographies, photographs, links, media, supporting

documents, and other information related to an inquiry or potential production.

  • Communications preferences, including newsletter or marketing choices.
  • Any other information you voluntarily provide.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, links selected, approximate location derived from IP address, dates and times of access, and similar diagnostic data. We may collect this information through cookies, pixels, local storage, server logs, and related technologies.

Information from other sources

We may receive information from referral partners, professional contacts, public sources, social platforms, event partners, and service providers when permitted by law. If another person submits information about you, we may use it to evaluate or respond to the relevant introduction or inquiry.

How we use information

  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the website and our services.
  • Respond to inquiries and communicate about interviews, productions, services, partnerships,

sponsorships, events, and opportunities.

  • Evaluate prospective guests, clients, partners, and vendors.
  • Schedule meetings, maintain business records, and manage relationships.
  • Process payments, issue invoices and receipts, administer refunds when authorized, prevent payment

fraud, and maintain transaction records.

  • Send updates or marketing communications when permitted, with an option to unsubscribe.
  • Measure website performance and understand how visitors use the website.
  • Detect fraud, misuse, security incidents, and technical problems.
  • Comply with law, enforce agreements, and protect our rights and the rights of others.
  • Carry out another purpose disclosed when information is collected or with your consent.

How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients when reasonably necessary for the purposes described above:

  • Service providers that support website hosting, analytics, security, email, scheduling, customer

relationship management, payment processing, invoicing, fraud prevention, file storage, production, and professional services.

  • Production, event, referral, or business partners when you ask us to make an introduction, pursue an

opportunity, or coordinate a project.

  • Professional advisers, insurers, auditors, and legal authorities when reasonably necessary.
  • A buyer, investor, lender, successor, or other participant in a merger, financing, reorganization, asset sale,

or similar business transaction, subject to appropriate protections.

  • Other parties when required by law, needed to protect safety or rights, or authorized by you.

We do not sell personal information for money. If our practices change in a way that constitutes selling, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted advertising under applicable law, we will update this Policy and provide any required opt-out mechanism before using information in that way.

Cookies and analytics

The website may use essential cookies to function and optional analytics or embedded-media technologies to understand traffic and display content. Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies. Blocking some technologies may affect website features. Where required, we will request consent before using nonessential cookies. We will also honor legally required browser-based opt-out preference signals when applicable to our practices.

Data retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to maintain business and production records, respond to inquiries, meet legal and contractual obligations, resolve disputes, and protect against fraud or misuse. Retention periods vary according to the type of information and the reason it was collected.

Data security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No website, transmission, or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your choices and privacy rights

You may unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in the message. You may also contact us at studio@skipthebio.com to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of personal information, or to object to or restrict certain processing. Depending on your jurisdiction and whether a particular law applies to us, you may have additional rights, including the right to appeal a denied request and the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right. We may need to verify your identity and authority before completing a request. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted by law. We may ask for proof that the agent is authorized and may contact you directly to verify the request. Some information may be exempt from a request, including information needed to complete a transaction, comply with law, protect rights, or maintain legally required records.

Third party websites and embedded content

The website may link to or embed services operated by third parties, including podcast, video, social media, scheduling, or event platforms. Those services control their own privacy practices. Review their policies before providing information to them.

Children

The website is intended for a general business and media audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

International visitors

We operate from the United States. If you access the website from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or another country where our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes in the website, our practices, or applicable requirements. We will post the revised version with a new effective date. If a change materially affects how we use information already collected, we will provide additional notice when required.
