Coursera clarifies it is data controller for EEA/UK users, processor in some programs
A new opening paragraph states that for users in the EEA or UK, Coursera is the data controller of Personal Data collected via the Site and some third-party data. It says Coursera is instead the data processor for degree programs, certain certificate programs, or other communicated circumstances.
Taken from you
- In degree and some certificate programs, Coursera is only a processor, so another party may be the controller for your data
Won back
- Clear statement of who the data controller is for EEA/UK users
