Key Governance Provisions
High User Consents to International Data Transfer by Using Services

Consent to international data transfer is obtained through use of the Services rather than a separate affirmative act, meaning users may not realize they have consented to cross-border data flows.

High California Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

This right gives California users a direct mechanism to limit how their personal information is distributed to third parties by Udemy.

High Children Below Consent Age Barred from Services

This establishes an age-based restriction on access to the Services, tied to the applicable legal consent age rather than a single fixed age.

High Data Shared with Benesse Corporation in Japan

User data may be transferred to a third party in Japan governed by Benesse's own data use policy, not solely Udemy's Privacy Policy.

High GenAI Features Do Not Train Models on Personal Data

This limits one of the most significant potential uses of personal data in an AI context, establishing that user inputs will not be used to improve Udemy's GenAI models.
