If you are in the EU, UK, or Switzerland, you have strong legal rights to access, correct, delete, and transfer your data, and can complain to your national data protection authority if you feel your rights have been violated.
EU, UK, and Swiss users can request a full export of their personal data, demand deletion, or object to advertising processing at any time, and have a legal right to escalate complaints to their national DPA if Duolingo does not respond adequately within 30 days.

Compare across platforms →GDPR rights are among the strongest consumer data protections in the world — exercising them can force Duolingo to delete your data, stop certain processing, or provide a full copy of everything it holds about you.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 15 (right of access), Art. 16 (rectification), Art. 17 (erasure), Art. 18 (restriction), Art. 20 (portability), Art. 21 (objection), Art. 77 (right to lodge complaint with supervisory authority). UK GDPR mirrors these rights post-Brexit. Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revDSG) effective September 2023 provides comparable rights.
