The updated policy removes keystroke capture from AI functions and explicitly states that audio information will not be used to identify you. For users under 18, the policy now provides a specific protection: content you submit will not be used to train or improve AI models, and will not be disclosed to third parties for their own purposes. The policy also clarifies that when you enable Global Privacy Control (GPC), Chegg will not share your personal data with advertising partners for targeted advertising and will not charge you or provide different service quality for using GPC. You can exercise privacy rights by clicking the 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link in the website footer or by emailing privacy@busuu.com.
