Chegg substantially restructured its privacy policy detected on July 14, 2026, reorganizing and expanding disclosures across multiple sections. The updated policy now includes a detailed table of contents, explicit region-specific privacy disclosures for EEA/UK/Switzerland and US residents, separate supplemental policies for subsidiary Busuu and employee workforce, and clarified language distinguishing Chegg's role as both data controller and processor. The document specifies new categories of personal data collection and use (including AI training, educational information, and professional data) and establishes explicit procedures for how user data is shared with educational institutions and employers when services are accessed through those organizations.
Consumers: Users must now consult additional regional documents to understand their full privacy rights and how their data may be processed.
Data controllers: Schools and employers can receive detailed information about how their students or employees use Chegg services.
Consumers: Audio, video, images, and written content you upload may be used to improve artificial intelligence systems.
Enterprise customers: When Chegg processes data on behalf of your institution or employer, data subject requests must go to that organization, not directly to Chegg.
The updated policy expands disclosure of how personal data is collected, used, and shared across Chegg's services and regional contexts. Users in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and the US now have access to region-specific privacy disclosures that detail additional legal rights applicable in their jurisdictions. The policy explicitly states that when users access services through an educational institution or employer, Chegg will share personal data and service usage information with that institution or employer to allow monitoring of service use. The policy also discloses that user-provided content, including audio, video, and written materials, may be used to train or fine-tune Chegg and third-party AI models. Users can review their region-specific disclosures and Busuu's supplemental privacy policy to understand additional rights and practices.
