"If you are a Skillshare Teacher, you can provide your Paypal, Tipalti, Wise, or other payment account to the Services to receive payments through our third party service providers. When you link a payment account, we collect and use certain information, including your payment account email address, account ID, physical address, or other data necessary for us to send payments to your account. In some instances, we may collect ACH or wire information to send payments to your account. In order to comply with applicable laws, we also work with trusted third parties who collect tax information as legally required. This tax information may include residency information, tax identification numbers, biographical information, and other personal information necessary for taxation purposes.— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Privacy Policy
Collection and processing of tax identification numbers and ACH/wire payment details engages IRS reporting obligations (1099/W-8 forms), potential state tax compliance requirements, and heightened data security obligations under applicable financial privacy and consumer protection law. Third-party tax data processors must be assessed for adequate contractual data protection commitments.
