Users may not expect that individual teachers, who are independent creators rather than Skillshare employees, receive their personal contact and behavioral 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.
