ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The license is perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and sublicensable, meaning Duolingo can use, modify, and share user Content indefinitely and through third parties without further compensation.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users who submit Content permit Duolingo to use, reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly display, and create derivative works from that Content permanently and globally at no cost.
