Coursera adds a privacy-policy row on personalizing site content using education and career data
A new row in the EU privacy policy's data-use table says Education, Career and Skills Information is used to personalize content, recommendations, learning support and engagement tools, and to remember preferences and prior interactions. The stated legal basis is Coursera's legitimate interests in running and developing its business, including offering a personalized service. Nothing is removed, and the diff does not say whether this reflects a new practice or a clearer description of an existing one.
Taken from you
- Education, career and skills information is stated to be used for personalization, relying on Coursera's legitimate interests rather than consent
Won back
- Clearer disclosure of how education, career and skills data is used to personalize the service
