Updates to Our Privacy Policy

As the iSKI community continues to grow, we are making changes to provide the best possible experience for our users. To support our innovative portfolio of apps and products, and to enhance transparency, we have prepared an updated privacy statement. Please take the time to read it below. From October 26th, 2017 your use of the iSKI.cc website and our iSKI apps means you consent to this new privacy statement.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact our Support team. support@iSKI.cc

Thank you for being a part and member of the iSKI community.
