This provision authorizes Skillshare to share student personal data with individual Teachers, who are third parties operating on the platform, as a condition of enrollment, which has implications for how that data is controlled and protected beyond Skillshare's own systems.
Interpretive note: The full scope of personal data shared with Teachers depends on the Privacy Policy, which was not provided for analysis; the Terms state data sharing is 'as further specified in our Privacy Policy.'
Students' personal data, including at minimum enrollment information and potentially other data types specified in the Privacy Policy, is shared with the Teacher each time a student enrolls in a class or event, with limited description in the Terms of what data is included or how Teachers are required to handle it.

"By enrolling in a class, other content on Skillshare, an Event, or by engaging in a Marketplace transaction, you grant us permission to share your information, including personal data (as further specified in our Privacy Policy), with the Teacher offering the content or Event or participating in the transaction.— Excerpt from Skillshare's Skillshare Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages GDPR Article 13 disclosure requirements, as sharing personal data with Teachers who may act as independent data controllers triggers transparency and potentially consent obligations. Under CCPA, the disclosure that personal information is shared with Teachers as part of the service should be assessed against the definition of a sale or sharing of personal information. If Teachers are independent controllers under GDPR, Skillshare's obligations as the party facilitating the transfer include ensuring appropriate safeguards exist. The FTC also has authority over data sharing practices that may be unfair or deceptive if not adequately disclosed. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision references the Privacy Policy for the full scope of data shared, making a complete governance assessment dependent on that document. The characterization of Teachers as recipients of personal data, and whether they act as processors or independent controllers, has significant implications for GDPR compliance and data subject rights. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU and UK users have heightened exposure given GDPR requirements for transparency about data recipients and the legal basis for sharing. California users should assess whether the sharing constitutes a sale or sharing of personal information under CCPA, which would trigger opt-out rights. Users in jurisdictions with strong data localization requirements should assess whether Teacher data access creates cross-border transfer issues. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Enterprise customers deploying Skillshare for employee training should assess whether employee personal data being shared with Teachers raises employer data protection obligations, particularly in the EU where employee data has heightened protections. Data processing agreements between Skillshare and enterprise customers should address the Teacher data sharing mechanism. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal teams should review the Privacy Policy in conjunction with this provision to assess the full scope of data shared with Teachers, the legal basis relied upon, and whether Teachers are required to enter into data processing agreements with Skillshare. A data mapping exercise should include the Teacher data sharing flow as a distinct processing activity.
