ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Without a robust age verification system, children under 13 could create accounts and have their data collected, exposing Udemy to COPPA liability and leaving children's data inadequately protected.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Udemy collects a broad range of personal data including learning behavior, device identifiers, payment information, and communications, and the policy authorizes sharing this data with instructors, advertising partners, analytics providers, and in the case of Udemy Business accounts, with the user's employer. Users on employer-sponsored Udemy Business accounts may have significantly less data privacy relative to individual consumer accounts, as enterprise client organizations can access learner activity reports. You can review and exercise your privacy rights, including data deletion and opt-out of targeted advertising, by visiting Udemy's privacy settings at udemy.com or by emailing privacy@udemy.com.
