This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Coursera has added a footer link labeled 'Do Not Sell/Share' to its website, likely in response to obligations under state privacy laws such as CCPA and similar frameworks that require businesses to provide consumers with a mechanism to opt out of personal information sales or sharing. This is a technical compliance implementation rather than a substantive change to data practices. Organizations using Coursera as a vendor should confirm whether their own privacy notices and DPA obligations require them to reflect this opt-out availability when describing Coursera's data handling practices.
