Skillshare's Privacy Policy explains what personal information Skillshare collects about you, how it uses that information, and who it shares it with. Simply by using the platform, Skillshare automatically collects technical data about your device and browsing; if you sign up or make a purchase, it also collects your name and billing details. Skillshare shares your information with instructors, advertising and analytics partners, and session-recording tools, and may keep your data even after you ask for it to be deleted.
Skillshare's Privacy Policy establishes the scope and terms of personal data collection, use, sharing, and retention across its Services. Skillshare automatically collects technical identifiers (IP address, browser type, device IDs, cookie data, and related attributes) upon any use of the Services, and collects identity and financial data (name, billing address, ZIP code) at registration, membership enrollment, or purchase. Skillshare shares user data with Teachers, analytics providers, ad networks, marketing tools, and session-replay providers (Crazy Egg, Hot Jar, Microsoft Clarity), and explicitly acknowledges selling or sharing user Identifiers under California law's definition. Personal data is retained for the life of an account and for financial reporting purposes, and may be retained beyond a deletion request where Skillshare determines retention is necessary for legitimate business interests such as fraud detection. Skillshare uses machine learning models trained on collected user data to organize platform content, and recognizes EU and UK users' rights to object to profiling or automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects.
Using Skillshare means your device identifiers, IP address, and browsing behavior are automatically collected without any action on your part, and your activity may be recorded as a video session replay by third-party providers. If you sign up or purchase a membership, your name and billing information are also collected. Skillshare shares identifiable and technical data about your content interactions with Teachers and shares user Identifiers with ad networks and analytics providers; even a deletion request does not guarantee removal, as Skillshare may retain data for fraud prevention and other stated business interests. If you are a California resident, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your CCPA Personal Information by completing the form at https://preferences.skillshare.com/dont_sell.
