“Duolingo may process and share your personal information for the purpose of providing you with personalized advertising. To provide personalized advertising, we may work with a variety of marketing analytics service providers, website analysis firms, and third-party advertising networks, such as Unity, Meta, LiftOff, Pangle, Moloco, and Google. These third-party advertising service providers collect and use personal information about your visits to and use of the Service, as well as other websites, in order to serve you with advertisements and content tailored to meet your preferences and likely interests, better understand ad effectiveness, and for market research purposes. You can opt out of receiving personalized advertising within the app Settings. In addition, your mobile devices may offer settings that let you make choices about the collection, use, and transfer of mobile app information for personalized ads (for example, Apple iOS’ Advertising ID and Google Android’s Advertising ID). Users in certain jurisdictions (including the European Union and United Kingdom) are opted out of personalized advertising by default, but may opt in. Please note that opting out of personalized advertising does not prevent the display of all advertisements to you. Certain Duolingo subscriptions may offer an ad-free experience.”
