Udemy Privacy Policy

Udemy's Privacy Policy governs what data Udemy collects about you, how it uses that data (including for ads based on your activity across the web), and who it may share it with. Your profile information is publicly visible by default, and by using the service you consent to your data being processed internationally. California users can opt out of having their personal information sold or shared.

Udemy's Privacy Policy establishes the terms under which Udemy collects, uses, retains, shares, and transfers user data as a condition of accessing its Services. It requires account creation with collection of email address, password, and account settings for certain features, and uses Data Collection Tools to deliver behaviorally targeted advertising based on activity across sites and over time, including potential transmission of cookie and usage data to Google. User data may be shared internationally — with processors and with Benesse Corporation in Japan under Benesse's own stated purposes — and consent to such cross-border transfers is obtained through the act of submitting data or using the Services. Post-termination deletion is the default, subject to extension for legal requirements or safety and integrity purposes, and Udemy explicitly limits its GenAI use by stating it does not use personal data to train or fine-tune its generative AI models. California users are granted the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information.

Using Udemy's Services requires agreeing to this Privacy Policy; there is no option to use the Services while declining it. Udemy collects your email, password, and account settings at registration and makes your Profile Data publicly viewable to others. Your usage data, including activity across other sites and over time, may be used for targeted advertising and shared with Google depending on your cookie and browser settings. Your data may also be shared with Benesse Corporation in Japan under Benesse's own data use policy. Udemy will delete your data after you close your account unless law or safety and integrity needs require longer retention. If you are a California user, you can opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information directly through the right Udemy grants for that purpose.
