"The Services are not directed to children whose age: is under the age of 13 years; makes it illegal to process their personal data; or requires parental consent to process their personal data. We do not knowingly collect or use personal data from children who meet those criteria.— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Privacy Policy
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.
