California residents have specific rights under state law to ask Chegg what data it has collected, request deletion of their data, and opt out of Chegg selling their personal information.
This analysis describes what Chegg's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
California residents have enforceable statutory rights to access, delete, and control the sale of their personal data, and Chegg is obligated to respond to these requests, though the process and response timelines are not detailed in the terms excerpt.
Interpretive note: The terms acknowledge CCPA rights but do not detail the specific request mechanisms, verification processes, or response timelines, creating uncertainty about operational compliance with CPRA regulatory requirements.
California residents can exercise data rights by submitting requests to Chegg directly, including requesting deletion of their personal information and opting out of data sales, which are distinct and more robust protections than those available to users in other US states under these terms.

"If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) including the right to know what personal information we collect about you, the right to delete personal information we have collected about you, and the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information.— Excerpt from Chegg's Chegg Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, enforced by the California Privacy Protection Agency and the California Attorney General. The CPRA expanded consumer rights beyond the original CCPA, including rights to correct inaccurate data and limit use of sensitive personal information. Chegg's disclosure of CCPA rights does not in itself demonstrate compliance with all CPRA obligations. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The terms acknowledge CCPA rights but do not describe the specific mechanisms, timelines, or verification processes for exercising these rights, which are required under CPRA regulations. Inadequate response processes or failure to honor opt-out requests within required timeframes creates enforcement exposure. JURISDICTION FLAGS: The CCPA and CPRA apply to California residents regardless of where Chegg is headquartered. Other states including Colorado, Virginia, Texas, and Connecticut have enacted similar consumer privacy laws, but these terms only explicitly reference California rights, potentially creating compliance gaps for residents of other states with applicable laws. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Businesses contracting with Chegg for services involving their employees' or students' personal data should assess whether Chegg's privacy practices as disclosed in these terms are consistent with the business's own CCPA service provider obligations and data processing agreements. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: The absence of detailed opt-out and deletion request procedures in the terms should be evaluated against CPRA regulatory requirements for transparency. Data mapping should confirm that personal information covered by opt-out requests is not sold or shared with third parties in ways that conflict with user elections.
