What this means for you

Coursera's main Privacy Notice now explicitly states it does not cover the Ollie mobile application or related products. Users of the Ollie App must refer to a separate Ollie Privacy Notice to understand how Coursera handles their personal data in that application. This clarification ensures users know which privacy policy applies to the app they are using, but does not change how data is actually collected or used in either service.

What you can do

If you use the Ollie mobile app, locate and review the separate Ollie Privacy Notice to understand how your data is handled in that application.

Key Clauses Affected

Ollie App exclusion

Main Privacy Notice explicitly does not apply to Ollie mobile app; separate Ollie Privacy Notice governs instead.

Affiliate inclusion

Updated entity scope now includes 'affiliates' alongside Coursera, Inc., subsidiaries, and international branches.
