The updated policy explicitly includes phone number as a type of device information that Indeed collects. Previously, the policy described device information as limited to IP address, device ID, and user agent. Additionally, the policy now states that Indeed relies on legitimate interests not only for keeping sites safe and secure, but also for 'improving our Sites and services', which broadens the stated basis for processing personal data. These changes formalize expanded data collection categories and processing justifications under the same legal framework.

If we learn that we've collected the personal data of a child under the age of 13 or 16, as applicable, we'll take reasonable steps to delete the personal data. This may require us to delete the Skillshare account...
If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data without parental consent, we remove such data and terminate the child's account (except where we are required to retain all or a portion of such data for compliance purposes).
If our moderators decide to remove content, or suspend or terminate the Member's account, we will notify the Member and explain how to contact us.
