Duolingo Max policy evolution

data sharing

Latest stance: third party or vendor sharing

“Duolingo uses Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) to help create lessons, matches, and other content within the app, based on users’ learning activity. For example, AI might be used to tailor a Spanish lesson to include more words that a user is struggling with, or play a chess match in real-time to adapt to a user’s moves. Duolingo may offer a Video Call feature where you can have an AI-powered spoken conversation with a Duolingo character to practice the language you are learning. Duolingo may also offer other AI-powered features that allow you to send text or audio messages to AI chat companions in a conversational format. When you interact with Video Call or other AI-enabled features, the text and audio you submit may be shared with AI vendors such as OpenAI and Google. Duolingo’s agreements with these AI vendors mean they are not permitted to use any personal information for their own purposes. Additionally, Duolingo may generate, record, and store audio recordings or transcripts of the text and audio you submit, and use these recordings or transcripts for product improvement and personalization purposes, including training and running Duolingo’s own artificial intelligence models. Please do not submit any personal, sensitive, or confidential information when using Video Call or other AI features. Duolingo may also offer a video Math Tutor feature where you can have an AI-powered spoken conversation with a Duolingo character to work on a math problem.”
