What it is

If Udemy is sold, merges with another company, or goes through bankruptcy, your personal data could be transferred to the new owner, who would then govern it under their own privacy policy.

This analysis describes what Udemy's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
