What it is

When you enroll in a class or attend an Event, Skillshare shares your personal data — including your name and other account information — with the Teacher running that class or event.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause establishes the operational mechanism by which user data flows to third-party content providers within the Skillshare ecosystem. This creates a data sharing relationship between the platform and Teachers as a condition of service access.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Students' personal data is shared with Teachers each time they enroll in a class or attend an Event, creating privacy exposure beyond Skillshare's own data practices and subject to how individual Teachers handle that data.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Data sharing with Teachers constitutes a disclosure to third parties and must be assessed against GDPR Article 13/14 disclosure requirements for EU users and CCPA Section 1798.100 for California residents. The legal basis for this disclosure appears to be contractual necessity via the Terms, but no explicit consent mechanism is described.
