Why it matters

If a child has created a Skillshare account, their personal data may have been collected without the parental consent required by law, and parents can request deletion of that data.

Consumer impact

Skillshare collects extensive personal and behavioral data including session recordings of your on-site activity, learning history, and inferred interests, which are shared with teachers, advertising networks, analytics providers, and business partners. Your data may be transferred internationally and processed in countries with weaker privacy protections than your own. You can submit a data deletion or opt-out request by contacting Skillshare at help@skillshare.com or through your account settings.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    If you believe your child under 13 has registered with Skillshare, email help@skillshare.com requesting deletion of the child's account and all associated personal data. Reference COPPA and provide account details if available.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC enforces COPPA, which governs the collection of personal data from children under 13 and requires parental consent before collection.
