— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Privacy Policy

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

The receipt of inferred interest data from third-party advertisers and data brokers engages CCPA provisions on data collected from third-party sources, GDPR Article 14 obligations for data not collected directly from the subject, and FTC data broker guidance. Legal teams should assess whether adequate third-party source disclosures and data processing agreements are in place.
