This provision establishes that users of certain Chegg service features become subject to additional third-party privacy policies outside of Chegg's control, and that personal information is shared with those third parties as a condition of accessing those features, without specifying which features trigger this requirement or which third parties beyond Zoom are involved.
Interpretive note: The policy does not identify all third-party operators beyond Zoom whose privacy policies apply when integrated features are used, creating ambiguity about the full scope of third-party data sharing triggered by service feature access.
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.
