Duolingo removed three sentences from its privacy policy on May 27, 2026. The removed language disclosed that the website uses cookies to enhance user experience and analyze performance, that Duolingo shares user information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners, and a button labeled 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information'. The removal of these explicit disclosures means the policy no longer contains these particular statements about cookie use and data sharing partnerships.
Consumers: The policy no longer states that cookies are used to enhance your experience and analyze site performance.
Consumers: The policy no longer explicitly states that Duolingo shares your information with advertising and analytics partners.
Consumers: Users no longer see a button to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information in the policy document.
The updated privacy policy no longer contains explicit language stating that Duolingo uses cookies to enhance user experience and analyze performance, or that it shares user information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The policy also no longer displays a 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' button. These removals may affect the transparency of Duolingo's practices as disclosed in the policy document itself, though actual data practices may remain unchanged. Users should review the complete updated privacy policy to understand current disclosures about data collection and sharing.
