Privacy
Course Hero Companies take privacy seriously. This privacy policy describes the
personal data we collect, the purposes for which it is used, and your choices regarding
its use.
Part One sets out the privacy practices that apply across all Course Hero
Companies.
Part Two sets out additional privacy practices specific to a Course Hero
Company.
"Services" means the services offered by Course Hero Companies, as that term
is defined in each company’s terms:
This policy does not cover the practices of companies we don’t own or control or
people we don’t manage.
If you have a disability, you may access this policy in an alternative format by

We will not collect additional categories of personal data or use the personal data we
collected for materially different, unrelated or incompatible purposes without
providing you notice.
We may create aggregated, de-identified or anonymized data from the personal data
we collect, including by removing information that makes the data personally
identifiable to a particular user. We may use such aggregated, de-identified or
anonymized data and share it amongst Course Hero Companies and with third parties
for our lawful business purposes, including to analyze, build and improve the Services
and promote our business, provided that we will not share such data in a manner that
could identify you.
Course Hero Companies share your personal data amongst each other:
Each Course Hero Company is considered a controller of personal data for the
purposes described above.
For a description of other purposes for which a Course Hero Company collects or
processes your personal data, other than for the purposes described above, please
read
Part Two.
For how each Course Hero Company shares your personal data with third parties
other than amongst Course Hero Companies, please read
Part Two.
Marketing Communications
If you sign up to receive marketing communications from a Course Hero Company,
that Course Hero Company will collect your email address as well as other information
on a voluntary basis to help tailor communications to you. You can unsubscribe at any
time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link included at the bottom of each email.
Alternatively, you can opt-out of receiving marketing communications either through
your account settings or by contacting us (see
Contact Us section below). Please note
that you will continue to receive transactional or account-related communications.
Data Security
We seek to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use and disclosure
using appropriate physical, technical, organizational and administrative security
measures based on the type of personal data and how we are processing that data.
You should also help protect your data by appropriately selecting and protecting your
password and/or other sign-on mechanism; limiting access to your computer or device
and browser; and signing off after you have finished accessing your account. Although
we work to protect the security of your account and other data that we hold in our
records, please be aware that no method of transmitting data over the internet or
storing data is completely secure.
Examples of data security measures include scanning our Services on a regular basis
for security holes and known vulnerabilities in order to make your visit to or use of our
Services as safe as possible; maintaining your personal data behind secured networks
that are only accessible by a limited number of persons with special access rights to
such systems and who are under obligation to keep the information confidential; and
implementing a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses
their information to maintain the safety of your personal data.
Data Retention
For Services requiring an account, the relevant Course Hero Company will retain your
personal data for as long as you have an open account or as otherwise necessary to
provide you with Services. In some cases we retain personal data for longer, if doing
so is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes or collect fees
owed, or is otherwise permitted or required by applicable law, rule or regulation. We
may further retain information indefinitely in an anonymous or aggregated form
where that information would not identify you personally.
We may share your personal data amongst Course Hero Companies, with third party
service-providers and other third parties that require such information to assist us in
providing Services to you. In the course of providing these Services, your personal
data may be accessed, collected, stored and processed in the U.S. or other foreign
jurisdictions by a Course Hero Company or its third party service providers. Course
Hero Companies and third-party service providers may disclose your personal data in
response to a search warrant or other legally valid inquiry or order or as otherwise
required or permitted by Canadian, US, or other law (which may include disclosure to
US and foreign courts, law enforcement or governmental authorities). In the case of a
transfer of personal data to Course Hero Companies or third-party service providers
that process or store personal data on behalf of a Course Hero Company, the Course
Hero Company and/or third party recipient will have agreed to safeguard personal
data and use the information only for the purpose(s) for which it has been provided.
Subject to applicable law, you have the right to access, update and correct
inaccuracies in your personal data in our custody or control. You can request this by
email or by writing to us at the contact information set out in the
Contact Us section
below. We may request certain personal data for the purpose of verifying the identity
of the individual seeking access to his or her personal data records.
Access/Right to Know. You have the right to request certain information about
our collection and use of your personal data over the past 12 months, including:
Deletion. You have the right to request that we delete the personal data that we
have collected about you. Under the CCPA, this right is subject to certain
exceptions: for example, we may need to retain your personal data to provide
you with the Services or complete a transaction or other action you have
requested. Please see the
Data Retention section on our purposes for retaining
limited personal data.
Right to Opt-Out; Sale of Your Personal Data. In some circumstances, you have
the right to opt out of the sale of your personal data. Please note, however, that
we do not sell your personal data and have not done so over the last 12 months.
Exercising Your CCPA Rights. To exercise the rights described above, you or your
Authorized Agent (defined below) must send us a request that (1) provides sufficient
information to allow us to verify that you are the person about whom we have
collected personal data, and (2) describes your request in sufficient detail to allow us
to understand, evaluate and respond to it. Each request that meets both criteria will
be considered a "Valid Request." We may not respond to requests that do not meet
these criteria. We will only use personal data provided in a Valid Request to verify
your identity and complete your request. You do not need an account to submit a
Valid Request. We will not charge you a fee for making a Valid Request unless your
Valid Request(s) is excessive, repetitive or manifestly unfounded. If we determine
that your Valid Request warrants a fee, we will notify you of the fee and explain that
decision before completing your request. Please see the
Contact Us section for where
to submit a Valid Request.
Authorized Agent. You may authorize an agent (an "Authorized Agent") to exercise
your rights on your behalf. To do this, you must provide your Authorized Agent with
written permission to exercise your rights on your behalf, and we may request a copy
of this written permission from your Authorized Agent when they make a request on
your behalf.
Non-Discrimination. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights
under the CCPA. We will not deny you our goods or services, charge you different
prices or rates, or provide you a lower quality of goods and services if you exercise
your rights. However, we may offer different tiers of our Services as allowed by
applicable data privacy laws (including the CCPA) with varying prices, rates or levels of
quality of the goods or services you receive related to the value of personal data that
we receive from you.
For the categories of third parties with whom a Course Hero Company shares the
personal data it collects and has collected about you over the past 12 months, please
read the product specific section in
Part Two.
If you are a resident of Nevada, you have the right to opt-out of the sale of certain
personal data to third parties who intend to license or sell that personal data. Please
note that we do not currently sell your personal data as sales are defined in Nevada
Revised Statutes Chapter 603A.
Complaints

please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge)
at
[Link] Under certain conditions,
you may also be entitled to invoke binding arbitration for complaints not resolved by
other means.

example, we process your personal data to send you marketing communications
where you have consented to such use. We may also obtain your personal data
through the use of advertising or tracking cookies based on your prior consent
and use your personal data for showing you advertisements, including interest-

Rectification: If you believe that any personal data we hold about you is

data. You may correct some of this information directly by logging on to your

Commission-approved standard contractual data protection clauses or following an
adequacy decision by the EU Commission. If you do not want your personal data
transferred outside of the EEA or UK, please do not submit any personal data to us or
use our Services. You may always contact us to request a copy of the transfer
measures that we have taken to safeguard the transfer of your personal data.

or under 18 and are a resident of Israel, please have your parent or guardian
contact us to provide consent for processing your personal data before you
attempt to register for or otherwise use the Services or send us any personal
data. Please see the
Contact Us section.
When you register for an account to use our Services, we ask you for your name
and email. If you sign up for our premium Services, payment information, such
as card number, is collected and processed directly by our third-party payment
processors. Our payment processors are
Amazon Pay, Stripe, PayPal,
Chargebee, and Apple Pay. For information on our payment processor’s
collection, use and storage of your personal data, please see the payment
processor’s privacy policy. Our payment processors do not share your full
payment card information with us.

When you use our Services, we may also collect personal data you provide or
otherwise make available to us via our Services. For example, when you use the
plagiarism checker, we store a copy of your document, which includes any
information contained within. When you use our Paraphraser tool, we will
collect any information you paraphrase, including personal data you enter into
Paraphraser. When you upload documents to our Services, we will store both a
copy of the original document (or the text of the original document) as well as
the paraphrased version and any information contained within. When you use
our Co-Writer service, we will collect any information, including personal data,
you enter into your project(s) within Co-Writer.
If you use the voice recognition feature on Co-Writer for audio to text
conversion, the audio to text conversion occurs in real time and audio is not
stored by us; however, the text converted from audio input that is added by you
to your project(s) within Co-Writer is stored by us.
When you use the QuillBot for Chrome extension, the contents in the email you
prepare (excluding reply or forward content), chat messages you write
(excluding history or chats received), documents you create, search queries, and
text you input on multiline fields on websites you visit ("Your Content"), as
transmitted by you in connection with your use of our extension, will be used in
real time on our machine learning algorithm, after which Your Content is
deleted from our Services. We also collect URLs and usage information (in
addition to the usage information described immediately above), such as the
number of times you disable/enable the extension on a website, which we
retain to help us understand how you use this Service and to help us improve it.
We only collect Your Content when the QuillBot icon is displayed and enabled,
indicating that Your Content will be grammar checked or paraphrased. You can
choose to disable the QuillBot extension at any time on the top right corner of
your browser. We do not access your contacts, text in single-line input fields
(which are more likely to contain personal data), or content in fields marked
"sensitive" such as credit card, password, email address or email subject fields.
We use analytics services such as Google Analytics and Amplitude to collect and
process certain analytics data when you use our Services. These services may
also collect information about your use of other websites, apps, and online
resources. For more information about our use of these services, please see our
