PURPOSE AND WHO WE ARE

The purpose of this Privacy Notice is to describe how Coursera, Inc., our
subsidiaries, and our international branches, ("Coursera," "us," "we," or "our")
collects, uses, and shares information about you through our online interfaces
(e.g., websites and mobile applications) owned and controlled by us, including
but not limited to coursera.org and rhyme.com (collectively referred to herein
as the "Site"). Please read this Privacy Notice carefully to understand what we
do. If you do not understand any aspects of our Privacy Notice, please feel free
to contact us at privacy@coursera.org. Your use of our Site is also governed by
our Terms of Use..Terms used but not defined in this Privacy Notice can be found
in our Terms of Use. Coursera, Inc. is a Delaware corporation with a principal
place of business at 381 E. Evelyn Ave., Mountain View, CA 94041. If you reside
or are located in the European Economic Area ("EEA") Coursera is the data
controller of all Personal Data (as defined below) collected via the Site and of
certain Personal Data collected from third parties, as set out in this Privacy
Notice unless you are part of a degree, certain MasterTrack programs, or certain
other circumstances as communicated to you, in which case Coursera is the data
processor.


WHAT INFORMATION THIS PRIVACY NOTICE COVERS

This Privacy Notice covers information we collect from you through our Site.
Some of our Site’s functionality can be used without revealing any Personal
Data, but for features or Services related to the Content Offerings, Personal
Data is required. In order to access certain features and benefits on our Site,
you may need to submit, or we may collect, "Personal Data" (i.e., information
that can be used to identify you and which may also be referred to as
“personally identifiable information” or “personal information”). Personal Data
can include information such as your name, email address, IP address, and device
identifier, among other things. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of
the Personal Data you submit to Coursera. Inaccurate information may affect your
ability to use the Site, the information you receive when using the Site, and
our ability to contact you. For example, your email address should be kept
current because that is one of the primary manners in which we communicate with
you.


WHAT YOU AGREE TO BY USING OUR SITE

We consider that the legal bases for using your personal information as set out
in this Privacy Notice are as follows:

 * our use of your personal information is necessary to perform our obligations
   under any contract with you (for example, to comply with the Terms of Use of
   our Site which you accept by browsing our website and/or to comply with our
   contract to provide Services to you, your academic institution, your
   employer, or other organization that may be providing you with access to our
   Services); or
 * our use of your personal information is necessary for complying with our
   legal obligations; or
 * use of your personal information is necessary for our legitimate interests or
   the legitimate interests of others. Our legitimate interests are to:
   * run, grow and develop our business;
   * operate our Site and provide our Services;
   * select appropriately skilled and qualified suppliers;
   * build relationships with partners and academic institutions;
   * carry out research and statistical analysis;
   * carry out marketing and business development; and
   * for internal administrative and auditing purposes.
 * consent, to send you certain communications or where you submit certain
   information to us, or where required to rely upon consent by local law.

Which legal basis applies to a specific activity will depend on the type of
personal information used and the context in which it is being used.

If we rely on our (or another party’s) legitimate interests for using your
personal information, we will undertake a balancing test to ensure that our (or
the other party’s) legitimate interests are not outweighed by your interests or
fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of the personal
information.

We may process your personal information in some cases for marketing purposes on
the basis of your consent (which you may withdraw at any time as described
below).

If we rely on your consent for us to use your personal information in a
particular way, but you later change your mind, you may withdraw your consent by
visiting your profile page and clicking the box to remove consent and we will
stop doing so. If you withdraw your consent, this may impact the ability for us
to provide some of our Services to you.


WHAT INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We gather the following types of information about users through the Site:

 1. Information relating to your use of our Site. When users come to our Site,
    we may track, collect, and aggregate information indicating, among other
    things, which pages of our Site were visited, the order in which they were
    visited, when they were visited, and which hyperlinks were clicked. We also
    collect information from the URLs from which you linked to our Site.
    Collecting such information may involve logging the IP address, operating
    system, and browser software used by each user of the Site. We may be able
    to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet Service Provider and the
    geographic location of their point of connectivity. Location data may be
    used to route your traffic to the nearest regional server to reduce latency
    and improve your experience. We may also use cookies and web beacons when
    you visit our Site. For more information on our use of cookies and web
    beacons, please refer to our Cookies Policy.

 2. Personal Data provided directly by you or via third parties. We collect
    Personal Data that you provide to us when you register for an account,
    update or change information for your account, purchase products or
    Services, complete a survey, sign-up for email updates, participate in our
    public forums, send us email messages, and/or participate in Content
    Offerings or other Services on our Site. We may use the Personal Data that
    you provide to respond to your questions, provide you the specific Content
    Offering and/or Services you select, send you updates about Content
    Offerings or other Coursera events, and send you email messages about Site
    maintenance or updates.

 * Account Registration. If you register for an account on our Site, you may be
   required to provide us with certain Personal Data such as your name and email
   address. You may also voluntarily provide us with additional Personal Data.

   email or by posting on portions of the Site only accessible to registered
   users. In order to subscribe to these Services, you may be required to

   where you can share comments and thoughts. In order to participate in the
   Forums, you may be required to register with us and/or provide us with
   Personal Data such as your name and email address. Please keep in mind that
   information you post or make available in Forums will be publicly available.
   You should not include any personal information or other information of a
   personal or sensitive nature, whether relating to you or another person, in a
   Forum post. Please also reference our Terms of Use and our Code of Conduct
   for additional information about proper use of our Forums.
 * Participation in Content Offerings. Coursera offers users the opportunity to
   participate in Content Offerings on or through the Site. If you desire to
   participate in a Content Offering, you will be asked to provide us with
   certain information necessary to conduct such a Content Offering. This
   information may include, among other things, your name and email address.

If you participate in a Content Offering, we may collect certain user-generated
content, such as assignments you submit, peer-graded assignments, and peer
grading feedback. We also collect course data, such as responses to in-video
quizzes, standalone quizzes, exams, and surveys. You should not include any
Personal Data or other information of a personal or sensitive nature, whether
relating to you or another person, on assignments, exams, or surveys, except for
information required to participate in or submit such assignments, exams, or
surveys.

 * Identity Verification. Coursera may offer you the ability to verify your
   identity for select Services. In order to enroll for these Services, you may
   be required to provide us or our third-party identity verification vendor
   with Personal Data such as your name, address, date of birth, a headshot
   taken using a webcam, and a photo identification document. Additionally, if
   you apply for financial aid in connection with these Services, you may be
   required to provide information regarding your income.
 * Communications with Coursera. We may receive Personal Data when you send us
   an email message or otherwise contact us.

   a third party site, e.g., Facebook, from our Sites. This may include the text
   and/or images of your Personal Data available from the third party site.
 * Surveys. We may receive Personal Data when you provide information in
   response to a survey operated by us or a Content Provider.
 * Partner sites. Partner sites providing Content Offering-related tools and
   services to Coursera users may collect nonfinancial individual-level user
   data regarding the individual’s use of that partner site while the partner
   sites provide those services to Coursera. The partner sites may share that
   data with Coursera for the purpose of improving our Services, the partner
   site’s services, and the individual’s education experience. This data
   includes information such as the amount of time spent on the partner site and
   pages viewed.
 * Third Party Payment Processing. Coursera provides you with the ability to pay
   for Content Offerings and other Services using a credit card or other methods
   through a third party payment processing service provider. Please note that

   information.

   extensions of our platform that use third-party services, like mobile
   applications. We reserve the right to reuse Forum posts that contain
   personally identifiable information in future versions of the Content
   Offerings, and to enhance future Content Offerings. We may archive this
   information and/or use it for future communications with you and/or your
   designee(s), and/or provide it to the Content Provider, business partners, or
   the instructor(s) associated with the courses you have taken. We may also use

   identifiable information.

   from you when you participate in a Content Offering through the Site for
   processing purposes, including but not limited to tracking attendance,

   instructor or instructors who taught it, with teaching assistants or other
   individuals designated by the instructor or instructors to assist with the

   for predictive analysis of your performance in the Content Offerings. Also,
   we may archive this information and/or use it for future communications with
   you, where we are legally entitled to do so.

   otherwise contact us, we may use the information provided by you to respond
   to your communication and/or as described in this Privacy Notice. We may also
   archive this information and/or use it for future communications with you
   where we are legally entitled to do so. Where we send you emails, we may
   track the way that you interact with these emails (such as when you open an
   email or click on a link inside an email). We use this information for the
   purposes of optimizing and better tailoring our communications to you.

 * Communications with Coursera Business Partners. We may share your Personal
   Data with Content Providers and other business partners of Coursera so that

 * Disclosure to Coursera Operations and Maintenance Contractors. We use various
   service providers, vendors, and contractors (collectively, "Contractors") to
   assist us in providing our Services to you. Our Contractors may have limited
   access to your Personal Data in the course of providing their products or
   services to us, so that we in turn can provide our Services to you. These
   Contractors may include vendors and suppliers that provide us with
   technology, services, and/or content related to the operation and maintenance
   of the Site or the Content Offerings. Access to your Personal Data by these
   Contractors is limited to the information reasonably necessary for the
   Contractor to perform its limited function for us.

 * Government Authorities; Legal Rights and Actions. Coursera may share your
   Personal Data with various government authorities in response to subpoenas,
   court orders, or other legal processes; to establish or exercise our legal
   rights or to protect our property; to defend against legal claims; or as
   otherwise required by law. In such cases we reserve the right to raise or
   waive any legal objection or right available to us. We also may share your
   Personal Data when we believe it is appropriate to investigate, prevent, or
   take action regarding illegal or suspected illegal activities; to protect and
   defend the rights, property, or safety of Coursera, the Site, our users,
   customers, or others; and in connection with our Terms of Use and other
   agreements.

 * Disclosure to Acquirers. Coursera may disclose and/or transfer your Personal
   Data to an acquirer, assignee or other successor entity in connection with a
   sale, merger, or reorganization of all or substantially all of the equity,

EXTERNAL LINKS

For your convenience we may provide links to sites operated by organizations
other than Coursera ("Third Party Sites") that we believe may be of interest to
you. We do not disclose your Personal Data to these Third Party Sites unless we
have a lawful basis on which to do so. We do not endorse and are not responsible
for the privacy practices of these Third Party Sites. If you choose to click on
a link to one of these Third Party Sites, you should review the privacy policy
posted on the other site to understand how that Third Party Site collects and
uses your Personal Data.


RETENTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

We keep your Personal Data for no longer than necessary for the purposes for
which the Personal Data is collected and processed. The length of time we retain
Personal Data for depends on the purposes for which we collect and use it and/or
as required to comply with applicable laws and to establish, exercise, or defend
our legal rights.


CONFIDENTIALITY & SECURITY OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

We will use industry standard physical, technical, and administrative security
measures to keep your Personal Data confidential and secure, and will not share
it with third parties, except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Notice, or
unless such disclosure is necessary in special cases, such as a physical threat
to you or others, as permitted by applicable law. Because the Internet is not a
100% secure environment, we cannot guarantee the security of Personal Data, and
there is some risk that an unauthorized third party may find a way to circumvent
our security systems or that transmission of your information over the Internet
will be intercepted. It is your responsibility to protect the security of your
login information. Please note that e-mail communications are typically not
encrypted and should not be considered secure.


UPDATING OR DELETING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

You have certain rights in relation to your Personal Data. You can access your
Personal Data and confirm that it remains correct and up-to-date, choose whether
or not you wish to receive material from us or some of our partners, and request
that we delete or provide you with a copy of your personal data by logging into
the Site, selecting ‘Settings’ from the dropdown in the top right, and scrolling
down to find the appropriate option. The ability to delete an account may be
disabled for some users, particularly those who are enrolled in for-credit
offerings such as degrees, MasterTrack certificate programs, and other similar
offerings.

If you would like further information in relation to your rights or would like
to exercise any of them, you may also contact us via privacy@coursera.org. If
you reside or are located in the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other
region that offers similar protections, you have the right to request that we:

 * provide access to any Personal Data we hold about you;
 * prevent the processing of your Personal Data for direct-marketing purposes;
 * update any Personal Data which is out of date or incorrect;
 * delete any Personal Data which we are holding about you;
 * restrict the way that we process your Personal Data;
 * provide your Personal Data to a third party provider of services; or
 * provide you with a copy of any Personal Data which we hold about you.

We try to answer every request promptly where possible, and provide our response
within the time period stated by applicable law. Keep in mind, however, that
when deleting your Personal Data there may be residual information that will
remain within our databases, access logs, and other records, which may or may
not contain your Personal Data. Please also note that certain Personal Data may
be exempt from such requests in certain circumstances, which may include if we
need to retain your Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation. When you
email us with a request, we may ask that you provide us with information
necessary to confirm your identity.

If you are a resident of California, please also see our CCPA Notice.


QUESTIONS, SUGGESTIONS, AND COMPLAINTS

complaints, you may contact us via privacy@coursera.org. If you reside or are
located in the EEA, United Kingdom, Switzerland, or other region that offers
similar protections, our Data Protection Officer and Privacy Team may assist
with all queries regarding our handling of Personal Data at

INTERNATIONAL PRIVACY PRACTICES

Our Sites are primarily operated and managed on servers located and operated
within the United States. In order to provide our products and Services to you,
you may be sending your Personal Data outside of the country where you reside or
are located, including to the United States. Accordingly, if you reside or are
located outside of the United States, your Personal Data may be transferred
outside of the country where you reside or are located, including to countries
that may not or do not provide the same level of protection for your Personal
Data. We are committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of Personal
Data when it is transferred. If you reside or are located within the EEA, United
Kingdom, Switzerland, or other region that offers similar protections, and such
transfers occur, we take appropriate steps to provide the same level of
protection for the processing carried out in any such countries as you would
have within the EEA or other regions to the extent feasible under applicable
law. We participate in and commit to adhering to the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S.
Privacy Shield Frameworks when transferring data from the EEA or Switzerland to
the United States. Please see our Privacy Shield Notice below for further
information.

these practices are subject to change. Any change, update, or modification will
be effective immediately upon posting on our Site. We will notify you of any
material change to this Privacy Notice by posting a notice on our Site’s
homepage for a reasonable period of time following such update or by sending an
email to the email address associated with your user account, and by changing
the effective date (located at the top and bottom of this page). Be sure to
return to this page periodically to ensure familiarity with the most current
version of this Privacy Notice.

access by anyone under the age of 13 is prohibited, and certain regions and
Content Offerings may have additional requirements and/or restrictions. In line
with this belief, we do not knowingly collect or maintain Personal Data on our
Site from persons under 13 years of age, and no part of our Site is directed to
persons under 13 years of age. If you are under 13 years of age, then please do
not use or access this Site at any time or in any manner. We will take
appropriate steps to delete any Personal Data of persons less than 13 years of
age that has been collected on our Site without verified parental consent upon
learning of the existence of such Personal Data.


LIVE2COURSERA PRIVACY NOTICE

   upload through Third Party Offerings, as well as the instructor’s name, email
   address, and thumbnail image. Instructors may also provide us with the
   contact information of their students to allow Coursera to share the link to
   that content with those students. Instructors should ensure that the proper
   consents and permissions are obtained from these students before sharing
   their contact information. Please note that the audio and video content
   instructors provide to Coursera may include the voices of students
   participating in the live lecture, and that we may make all such content
   publicly available to all users of our platform.
 * Coursera will use your information to provide and operate our Live2Coursera
   services and will make certain information available to other Live2Coursera
   participants: For example, we will allow students to view the content
   uploaded by their instructors and will allow instructors to know which
   students have viewed their lectures.
 * Coursera may also share certain information about your use of Live2Coursera
   Services back with any associated Third Party Offering. Please note that when
   you interact with any Third Party Offering, such Third Party Offering may

general, please refer to our online Privacy Notice.


PRINCIPLES.

 1. Notice. We will provide you with timely and appropriate notice in our Terms
    of Use and Privacy Notice, describing what Personal Information we are
    collecting, how we will use that information, and the types of third parties
    with whom we may share such information (and the reasons we do so). Please
    review these documents carefully. Where we process personal data on behalf
    of our business partners, we will work with them to help them provide
    appropriate notice to you.

 2. Choice. We will offer you the opportunity to opt-out of your Personal
    Information (or to provide explicit consent for Sensitive Personal
    Information) being: (i) disclosed to a third party (other than a service
    provider as set forth below); or (ii) used for a purpose materially
    different from the purpose for which it was originally collected (as set out
    in our Privacy Notice), or subsequently authorized by you, when the
    circumstances arise. You also have the ability to opt out at any time from
    the use of your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. To
    exercise this right, please check your settings options. If you have further
    questions related to the above, you can also contact us at
    privacyshield@coursera.org.

Where we process personal data on behalf of our business partners, we will work
with them to ensure you are offered appropriate choices (and means to exercise
those choices) for limiting use or disclosure of your personal data (where
appropriate).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree that we may disclose Personal
Information under the following circumstances without offering you an
opportunity to opt out of such disclosure: (i) to our Content Providers and
other service providers that we have retained to perform requested Services on
our behalf; (ii) if we are required to do so by law or legal process; (iii)
pursuant to valid requests by law enforcement or other government authorities
(which we are legally required to respond to); and (iv) when we believe
disclosure is necessary to prevent physical harm or financial loss or in
connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity. In
addition, we reserve the right to transfer Personal Information in the event we
sell or transfer all or a portion of our business or assets (including in the
event of a reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation). Should such a sale or
transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the transferee to use
the Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Shield Notice.

 1. Onward Transfers (Transfer to Third Parties). We will only transfer Personal
    Information to third parties where the third party: (i) has provided
    satisfactory assurances to us that it will protect the Personal Information
    in accordance with this Privacy Shield Notice and the Principles; (ii) is
    located in the EU or a country considered "adequate" for privacy by the EU
    Commission, and therefore is required to comply with the EU data protection
    laws or substantially equivalent privacy laws; or (iii) has certified to
    Privacy Shield, and is independently responsible for complying with the
    Principles.

Where we have knowledge that a third party to whom we have provided Personal
Information is processing that Personal Information in a manner contrary to this
Privacy Shield Notice or the Principles, we will take reasonable steps to
prevent or terminate processing by the third party until such time the third
party can process Personal Information in compliance with this Privacy Shield
Notice and the Principles. Under certain circumstances, we may be potentially
liable if these requirements are not met.

 1. Data Security. We will take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect
    Personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure,
    alteration and destruction. We have implemented appropriate physical,
    electronic and managerial procedures to help safeguard and secure Personal
    Information from loss, misuse, unauthorized access or disclosure,
    alteration, or destruction.

 2. Data Integrity and Purpose Limitation. We will process Personal Information
    in a manner that is compatible with and relevant to the purpose for which it
    was collected or authorized by you. To the extent necessary for those
    purposes, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Information
    is accurate, complete, current, and reliable for its intended use.

 3. Access. Upon request, we will provide you with reasonable access to the
    Personal Information about you that we hold. We will also take reasonable
    steps to correct, update, amend, or delete any information that is
    demonstrated to be inaccurate, except where the burden or expense of doing
    so would be disproportionate to the risks to your privacy in the case in
    question or where the rights of third parties would be violated. Where we
    process personal data on behalf of our business partners, we will work with
    them in complying with such requests in accordance with applicable law.

 4. Recourse; Enforcement. We will regularly review our compliance with the
    statements set forth in this Privacy Shield Notice, and we will provide an
    independent way to resolve complaints about our privacy practices. We
    encourage interested persons to first contact us (contact information
    provided below) and we will investigate and attempt to resolve any
    complaints and disputes regarding use and disclosure of Personal Information
    in accordance with the Principles. If your inquiry is not satisfactorily
    addressed by us, we have registered with the International Centre for
    Dispute Resolution ("ICDR"), a division of the American Arbitration
    Association, to provide independent third party dispute resolution (free of
    charge) to you. To contact ICDR and/or learn more about the company’s
    dispute resolution services, including complaint submission, please visit:
    http://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html. There may also be circumstances when
    disputes can be resolved through the Privacy Shield binding arbitration
    process. Please see the Privacy Shield website for further information. For
    residents of Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information
    Commissioner’s authority will replace that of the EU bodies. For residents
    of the United Kingdom, the Information Commissioner’s Office will serve this
    role.

 5. Jurisdiction. As part of our participation in Privacy Shield, we are subject
    to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade
    Commission and other authorized statutory bodies.


MODIFICATIONS.

We may amend this Privacy Shield Notice from time-to-time in accordance with the
requirements of the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. The most
recent version of the Privacy Shield Notice will always be posted to this
website. Anytime that we do make such changes, we will also update the effective
date listed at the top of the Privacy Shield Notice. Please be sure to review
the most recent version of the Privacy Shield Notice each time that you visit
this website so that you are aware of how we collect, use, and retain personal
information.


CONTACT US.

Please contact us with any questions or comments about this Privacy Shield
Notice, transfer of your personal information from the EEA, Switzerland, or the
United Kingdom to the U.S., our privacy practices, or your consent choices by
