ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

This provision is intended to establish COPPA compliance. However, Skillshare's extensive behavioral tracking and session replay tools increase the risk of incidental collection of children's data. Compliance teams should assess whether age verification mechanisms are sufficiently robust and whether the policy's reliance on self-reported age at registration satisfies COPPA safe harbor requirements.
