A language-learning platform that offers free and premium courses in dozens of languages through gamified lessons and exercises accessible via mobile apps and web browsers. The company collects extensive user data including learning progress, device information, and personal details to personalize instruction and maintain user engagement. Their policies are significant to consumers because they govern how sensitive educational data and personal information are handled, shared with third parties, and used for advertising purposes across millions of active users worldwide.
Higher = more protective of you, the user/customer — a deliberately user-protective lens, not a universal “good vs bad” score. Computed algorithmically from Duolingo’s cited governance stances; no dimension we haven’t confidently read is ever counted against the score. Free, reproducible, and never purchasable.
The clause establishes that child users are shielded from both behavioral targeting and age-inappropriate advertising content.
Prohibiting class and collective arbitration and joinder means users generally must arbitrate individually, limiting the practical ability to pursue small or shared grievances collectively.
Individual usage data (not just anonymized data) may be shared with a third-party Code Provider, which means personally identifiable usage information could leave Duolingo's direct control.
Exclusive ownership by Duolingo means users retain no ownership interest in any materials generated through their engagement with the educational activities.
The cap applies to any cause of liability whatsoever, and users who paid little or nothing in the prior 12 months may have effectively no monetary recovery available against Duolingo.
