Coursera removed two sentences from its Privacy Notice that previously stated the policy did not apply to its Ollie mobile application and directed users to a separate Ollie Privacy Notice. The updated notice now omits any mention of Ollie's exclusion. Additionally, Coursera removed the word 'affiliates' from the list of entities covered by the privacy notice, narrowing the stated scope to include only Coursera, Inc., its subsidiaries, and international branches. The practical effect is that the Privacy Notice's coverage is now described more narrowly with respect to corporate structure, and users of the Ollie App no longer have explicit notice that a separate privacy notice applies to that application.
Consumers: Users are no longer explicitly told in the main Privacy Notice whether that notice applies to the Ollie app or where to find Ollie's privacy terms.
The updated Privacy Notice removes explicit language stating that the policy does not apply to Coursera's Ollie mobile application and no longer directs users to a separate Ollie Privacy Notice for that app. Previously, users of Ollie had clear notice to consult a dedicated privacy policy; that direction is now absent from the main Privacy Notice. The updated notice also narrows the scope of covered entities by removing 'affiliates' from the definition of Coursera, stating the policy now applies to Coursera, Inc., its subsidiaries, and international branches only. Users of the Ollie App should independently verify what privacy terms currently govern that application, as the main Coursera Privacy Notice no longer explicitly addresses Ollie coverage.
→ If you use the Ollie mobile app, independently verify the current privacy terms that apply to that application, as the main Coursera Privacy Notice no longer explicitly addresses Ollie coverage.
→ Review the updated Privacy Notice to confirm which Coursera entities and services are covered, noting that 'affiliates' has been removed from the scope definition.
