The updated policy now discloses a new Math Tutor feature that processes audio through Apple for transcription; audio is deleted but text transcripts may be retained and shared with AI vendors. Duolingo also clarified that IP addresses may be retained longer than 30 days for paying subscribers specifically for payment processing and fraud prevention. The policy changed the Video Call feature from 'Duolingo offers' to 'Duolingo may offer', clarifying it is optional. You can disable FullStory and Session Replay activity recording using the Tracking toggle in app Settings.
