Summary

This is Skillshare's privacy policy — the document that explains what personal information they collect about you, how they use it, and who they share it with. Skillshare collects a wide range of data including your name, payment details, learning activity, and even records video-like replays of how you interact with their website. They share your data with teachers, advertisers, analytics companies, and third-party partners, and depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, or opt out of certain uses of your data.

What changed Skillshare updated their Skillshare Privacy Policy on April 26, 2026. Change detected: 1 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 230 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Skillshare changed the 'Last Updated' field in their Privacy Policy from displaying a relative timestamp ('1 year ago') to an explicit date ('September 16, 2024 19:28'). This is a cosmetic display change and does not alter how your data is collected, used, or shared. No action is needed from consumers.
Why it matters Users and compliance teams can now see the precise date the policy was last substantively updated, which is marginally more transparent than a vague relative timestamp. No rights or protections were altered.
What changed Skillshare updated their Skillshare Privacy Policy on April 19, 2026. Change detected: 1 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 230 sentences after update.
Consumer impact Skillshare changed the way the 'Last Updated' date is displayed in their Privacy Policy from a specific calendar date to a relative time reference ('1 year ago'). This is a purely cosmetic change — no policy terms, data practices, or consumer rights were altered. There is no action required on your part.
Why it matters While the change itself is cosmetic, displaying a relative rather than absolute date makes it slightly harder for users to quickly identify exactly when the policy was last substantively updated. This has minimal practical impact but marginally reduces date transparency.
