What it is

If Skillshare is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal data may be transferred to the new owner, as long as they agree to treat it consistently with this Privacy Policy.

This analysis describes what Skillshare's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes the operational procedure for handling personal information during corporate transactions, requiring contractual commitment from the acquiring entity to maintain equivalent privacy protections rather than requiring affirmative user consent for each transfer.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

In a merger or acquisition, your personal data becomes a transferable asset — the new owner is only required to honor this policy's terms, with limited independent oversight of how they actually handle your data.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Business transfer provisions create successor liability questions under GDPR, CCPA, and state privacy laws. Legal teams conducting M&A due diligence should assess the scope of personal data assets and whether data subjects would need to be notified of changes to data controller identity under applicable law.
