Sensitive Personal Information Collection and Use

High severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share

Why it matters

The collection of sensitive data creates elevated privacy and security risks; under CPRA, California residents have the right to limit how Chegg uses this category of information.

Consumer impact

Chegg collects broad categories of personal data — including sensitive information, device identifiers, usage patterns, and inferred characteristics — and shares or sells some of this data with advertising partners and business affiliates, which can affect your privacy and control over your personal information. Users who are minors receive additional protections under COPPA, and Chegg states it does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 without parental consent. You can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal data by visiting Chegg's 'Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information' link available on its website.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Visit privacy.chegg.com and submit a request to limit the use and disclosure of your sensitive personal information, or to request deletion of specific sensitive data categories. You may also email privacy@chegg.com.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
