Sketchy Group LLC (“Sketchy”) provides, among other things, materials designed to make learning unforgettable This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy” or “Policy”) explains our practices regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of information that we receive through our our website located at www.sketchy.com (the “Site”) and our communications with you (collectively, the “Services”). It also serves as a way to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy does not apply to any third-party websites, services, or applications, even if they are accessible through our Services
Any information that is collected via our Services is covered by the Privacy Policy in effect at the time such information is collected. We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we’ll notify you of those changes by posting them within the Services or by sending you an email or other notification, and we’ll update the “Last Updated” date above to indicate when those changes become effective.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users of our Services including without limitation, site visitors, account holders, registered users, and enterprise customers (all such users of the Services collectively referred to as “Users”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to any of the information that our customers may collect and process while using our Services (“Customer Data”). Our customers’ respective privacy policies govern their collection and use of Customer Data. Our processing of Customer Data is governed by the contracts that we have in place with our customers, not this Privacy Policy.
This section describes the different types of Personal Data we may obtain about you.
Sketchy offers an optional integration that allows third-party AI assistants (such as Claude by Anthropic or ChatGPT by OpenAI) to access Sketchy's learning catalog on your behalf using the Model Context Protocol ("MCP"). This section describes how data is collected and used when you enable this integration.
How It Works:. When you connect the Sketchy MCP connector within a supported AI assistant, that assistant can send search queries to Sketchy's servers and receive catalog information in return — including lesson titles, cover images, lesson URLs, case titles, case descriptions, and sketch symbol descriptions. This allows the AI assistant to reference and link to Sketchy content in its responses to you.
Information Sketchy Receives: .When you use the MCP connector, Sketchy receives and may log the following:
Sketchy uses this information to provide the integration, improve search relevance, monitor service performance, and analyze aggregate usage patterns.
Information Sketchy Does Not Receive: Sketchy does not receive your full conversation with the AI assistant, your AI assistant account credentials or identity, or any other Personal Data unless you include it in a search query. Sketchy does not have access to, and does not control, any information that the AI assistant collects, stores, or processes as part of your use of that service.
Information Sketchy Returns: The information Sketchy returns to the AI assistant through the MCP connector is limited to publicly available catalog content: lesson and case metadata (titles, descriptions, URLs, cover images, tags), and sketch symbol names and descriptions. Sketchy does not transmit your Personal Data, account information, subscription status, or usage history to the AI assistant through this integration. Lesson and case URLs returned through the connector require a valid Sketchy account to access.
Third-Party AI Services: Your use of the AI assistant itself (including Claude, ChatGPT, or any other supported platform) is governed by that service's own terms of use and privacy policy. Sketchy is not responsible for how those third-party services collect, store, process, or use the queries you submit or the Sketchy content returned through the MCP connector. We recommend that you review the privacy policy of any AI assistant you use with this integration
Your Choices. The MCP connector is entirely optional. You may enable or disable it at any time within your AI assistant's connector settings. Disabling the connector will stop the AI assistant from sending queries to Sketchy's servers. If you wish to request deletion of query logs associated with your use of the MCP connector, you may contact us at support@sketchy.com.
Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Services, to customize content and the Services for you, to administer your use of the Services (including your account, if you are an account holder), and to enable you to enjoy and easily navigate our Services. We will use your Personal Data for the following purposes:
We may use Personal Data and other information about you to create de-identified and/or aggregated information, such as de-identified demographic information, de-identified location information, information about the device from which you access our Services.
We may also use your information for any other purpose disclosed to you at the time we collect or receive your information, or otherwise with your consent. Any communication or material you transmit to us via e-mail or otherwise, including any data, questions, comments, chats, phone calls, suggestions or the like (though excluding your Personal Data) will be treated as non-confidential and non-proprietary.
We may share information you provide us, including your Personal Data, with third parties, in the types of scenarios, and for the types of reasons described in this section.
Based upon the laws that apply in your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights, related to your privacy and Personal Data. Please note that for each of the rights below we may have valid legal reasons to refuse your request. In such instances we will let you know if that is the case. To inquire about or to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us a privacy@sketchy.com. We will process such requests in accordance with applicable laws.
We offer you choices regarding the collection, use and sharing of your Personal Data and we’ll respect the choices you make. Please note that if you decide not to provide us with the Personal Data that we request, you may not be able to access all of the features of the Services.
Our Site does not currently have the capability to respond to “Do Not Track” signals received from various web browsers.
We take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures designed to protect the information that we collect from or about you (including your Personal Data) from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. When you enter sensitive information on our forms, we encrypt this data using SSL or other technologies. Please be aware, however, that no method of transmitting information over the Internet or storing information is completely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information. By using our Services or providing Personal Data to us, you agree that we may communicate with you electronically regarding security, privacy, and administrative issues relating to your use of our Services. If we learn of a security system’s breach, we may attempt to notify you electronically by posting a notice on our Services, by mail or by sending an email to you.
We need to retain the information you provide us in order to provide our Services, and we retain such information for as long as you maintain your account, at a minimum. We also retain certain relevant information, including transaction, location, device, and usage information, for as long as it is required to do so, in connection with regulatory, tax, insurance, legal, administrative, and other requirements. You may request deletion of your account at any time as provided above. Following such a request, we will delete the information that it is not necessary to retain. In certain circumstances, we may be unable to delete your account, such as if there is an outstanding credit or debt on your account or an unresolved dispute, ongoing investigation (e.g. for fraud or misuse), or we believe that we may be required to retain your account for legal reasons. Upon resolution of the issue preventing deletion, we will delete your account as described above. We may also retain certain information if necessary for our legitimate business interests, such as fraud prevention and enhancing Users' safety and security. For example, if we shut down a User's account because of security or fraud incidents, we may retain certain information about that account to prevent that User from opening a new account in the future.
Our Services may contain links to websites and services that are owned or operated by third parties (each, a “Third-party Service”). Any information that you provide on or to a Third-party Service or that is collected by a Third-party Service is provided directly to the owner or operator of the Third-party Service and is subject to the owner’s or operator’s privacy policy. We’re not responsible for the content, privacy, or security practices and policies of any Third-party Service. To protect your information we recommend that you carefully review the privacy policies of all Third-party Services that you access.
Your Personal Data may be transferred to, and maintained on, computers located outside of your state, province, or other governmental jurisdiction where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. We strive to safeguard your information consistent with the requirements of applicable laws.
Our Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected Personal Data of a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.
Nevada residents have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain Personal Data to third parties who intend to license or sell that Personal Data. You can exercise this right by contacting us at privacy@sketchy.com and providing us with your name and the email address associated with your account. Please note that we do not currently sell your Personal Data as sales are defined under Nevada law.
