The updated privacy policy no longer contains explicit language stating that Duolingo uses cookies to enhance user experience and analyze performance, or that it shares user information with social media, advertising, and analytics partners. The policy also no longer displays a 'Do Not Sell My Personal Information' button. These removals may affect the transparency of Duolingo's practices as disclosed in the policy document itself, though actual data practices may remain unchanged. Users should review the complete updated privacy policy to understand current disclosures about data collection and sharing.

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.

The policy changed the Video Call feature from 'Duolingo offers' to 'Duolingo may offer', clarifying it is optional.
