To learn about the personal data collected by a Course Hero Company and the
category of third parties with whom your personal data is shared, please read
Part
Two.

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.

Information That is Not Personal Data

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.

Tracking Tools, Interest Based Advertising And Opt-Out


Course Hero Companies and our third-party providers use cookies and other tracking
technologies ("Cookies") on the Services to collect information. Detailed information
about the Cookies used (including the purpose for using them), interest-based
advertising, how to manage Cookies, and do-not-track signals, can be found in each
Course Hero Company’s respective Cookie Policy, which is linked in the respective
company’s privacy statement in
Part Two.

Why We Share your Personal Data Amongst Course Hero Companies


Our Shared Purposes

Course Hero Companies share your personal data amongst each other:

To co-market, co-promote and cross sell our Services to you.


To learn how you use and interact with our Services, for the purposes of
improving our Services, including by gathering commercial data and internal
analytics on those unique users that subscribe to all or more than one of our
Services, and gathering internal analytics on how you engage with one Service
when integrated on another Service (for example, your use of a Symbolab
feature integrated within [Link]).
To measure our progress towards corporate goals and key performance
indicators, including gathering commercial data related to our subscription
Services.
To enable Course Hero, Inc. to allow users to sign up for and sign in to multiple
services across Course Hero Companies at one time.
To enable Course Hero, Inc. to respond to customer inquiries about our Services,
including customer support requests.
To enable Course Hero, Inc. to respond to data subject requests under
applicable privacy laws.
To distribute and display your content, which may include your username, across
one or more of our Services. "Your content", for purposes of this paragraph,
refers only to user generated content you post on our Services. For example, if
you post a question or answer on [Link], it may be distributed and
displayed on another Course Hero Service, and may include your username.
To protect the rights, property or safety of you, Course Hero Companies, or
another party, including doing fraud protection, security and debugging.

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.

How We Share Your Personal Data Amongst Course Hero Companies

Your personal data is shared amongst Course Hero Companies, as follows:

1. To carry out the activities set forth in the


Our Shared Purposes section.
2. We also share certain systems and technology; for example, we share systems
that manage subscriptions so that you can choose to subscribe and log on to
more than one Service with a single account, systems that manage customer
support inquiries and data subject requests, and systems that provide analytics.

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.

Changes to this Privacy Policy


We are constantly improving our Services, so we may need to change this policy from
time to time, but we will alert you to any material changes by placing a notice on the
product specific website to which the changes apply, by sending you an email and/or
by some other reasonable means.

Additional Terms for Canadian Residents


If you reside in Canada, the following additional terms apply. If there are any conflicts
between this section and any other provision of this policy, the provision that is more
protective of personal data will apply.

Transfers of Personal Data Outside Canada

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.

Canadian Resident Rights

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.

Additional Terms for California Residents


This section provides information in accordance with the California Consumer Privacy
Act ("CCPA") for California residents about how Course Hero Companies handle
certain personal data collected over the past 12 months. If you are a California
resident, you have the rights set forth in this section. For how to exercise these rights,
see the
Exercising Your CCPA Rights section. If there are any conflicts between this
section and any other provision of this policy, the portion that is more protective of
your personal data will apply.

California Resident Rights under the CCPA

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:

The categories of personal data that we have collected about you.


The categories of sources from which that personal data was collected.
The business or commercial purpose for collecting or selling your personal
data.
The categories of third parties with whom we have shared your personal
data.
The specific pieces of personal data that we have collected about you.

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.

Categories of Third Parties We Have Shared Your Personal Data With

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.

Your Rights under California’s Shine-the-Light Law


Under California Civil Code Sections 1798.83-1798.84, California residents are entitled
to contact us to prevent disclosure of personal data to third parties for such third
parties’ direct marketing purposes. To submit such a request, please see the
Contact
Us section and specify "California Shine the Light Request" in the subject line.

Other State Law Privacy Rights

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

the provision that is more protective of personal data will apply.

Legal Basis for Use of Your Personal Data

The personal data processed by Course Hero Companies, as described in Parts One
and Two, are processed under the following legal basis:

Contractual Necessity. Each Course Hero Company processes personal data as a


matter of contractual necessity, meaning that we need to process the data to
perform under our product specific Terms of Use or Terms of Service with you,
which enables us to provide you with the Service. This includes for the purposes
of:

Providing users with the products, services or information they request.


Providing customer support and assistance for the Services.
Personalizing the Services, website content and communications based on
users' preferences.
Creating and managing user accounts or user profiles.
Processing orders or other transactions; billing.
Responding to correspondence that we receive from you, contacting you
when necessary or requested, and sending you information about Course
Hero Companies or the Services.

When we process personal data due to contractual necessity, failure to provide


such personal data will result in your inability to use some or all portions of the
Services that require such information.

Legitimate Interest. Each Course Hero Company processes personal data when it
furthers its legitimate interests. This includes:

Consent: In some cases, a Course Hero Company processes personal data based
on the consent you expressly grant to it at the time it collects such data (which
you may withdraw at any time after giving it, as described in this policy). For
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-
based or online behavioral advertising. We may furthermore share your
personal data amongst Course Hero Companies for marketing purposes, with
your consent. When we process personal data based on your consent, it will be
expressly indicated to you at the point and time of collection. You have the right
to withdraw your consent at any time. We refer to the
EEA and UK Resident
Rights section below for further information.

Legal obligation: Each Course Hero Company processes your personal data
where necessary to fulfill its legal obligations under applicable law, regulation,
court order or other legal processing (e.g. subpoenas or warrants). This includes
for the purposes of:

Fraud protection, security and debugging.


Responding to data subject requests under applicable privacy laws.
Processing orders or other transactions; billing.
Preventing, detecting and investigating security incidents and potentially
illegal or prohibited activities.
Data retention and administration obligations.
Complying with requests of competent supervisory authorities and legal
agencies.

Other Processing Grounds: From time to time, a Course Hero Company may also
need to process personal data if it is necessary to protect the vital interests of
you or others, or if it is necessary for a task carried out in the public interest.

EEA and UK Resident Rights

Access: You can request access to the personal data we hold about you.

Rectification: If you believe that any personal data we hold about you is
incorrect or incomplete, you can request that we correct or supplement such
data. You may correct some of this information directly by logging on to your
account.

Erasure: You can request that we erase some or all of your personal data from
our systems. Under the GDPR and the UK GDPR, this right is subject to certain
exceptions. Please see the
Data Retention section on the purposes for which we
retain limited personal data.

Withdrawal of Consent: If we are processing your personal data based on your


consent (as indicated at the time of collection of such data), you have the right
to withdraw your consent at any time. Please note, however, that if you exercise
this right, you may have to then provide express consent on a case-by-case basis
for the use or disclosure of certain of your personal data, if such use or
disclosure is necessary to enable you to utilize some or all of our Services.

Portability: You can ask for your personal data in a machine-readable format.
You can also request that we transmit the data to another controller where
technically feasible.

Objection: You can contact us to let us know that you object to the further use
or disclosure of your personal data for certain purposes, such as for direct
marketing purposes.

Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to restrict further processing of your


personal data.

Please note that in some circumstances, we may not be able to fully comply with your
request, such as if it is frivolous or extremely impractical, if it jeopardizes the rights of
others, or if it is not required by law, but in those circumstances, we will still respond
to notify you of such a decision. In some cases, we may also need you to provide us
with additional information, which may include personal data, if necessary to verify
your identity and the nature of your request.

If you wish to exercise any of your rights, please see the


Contact Us section of this
policy.

Cross Border Transfers of Personal Data

Course Hero Companies are located in the United States, Israel, India, The
Netherlands, and Canada and may continue to grow in other countries. We also have
service providers both in the United States and throughout the world. As such, Course
Hero Companies and our service providers may transfer your personal data to, or
access it in, jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as
your home jurisdiction. When we transfer information about individuals based in the
EEA or UK outside of those countries, we will take appropriate measures to safeguard
the transfer as required by applicable law, including by using the European
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.

Complaints

You have the right to lodge a complaint about our practices with respect to your
personal data before a supervisory data protection authority.

Personal Data Collected

When you sign up with Course Hero

When you sign up with Course Hero, we collect your username, email, user type

If you identify as an educator, the school and email we collect is the school
where you teach and your school issued email, which are verified by our third-
party identification service provider. We also collect your first and last name. If
you provide a personal email but want to create an educator account, or if you
are unable to be verified by our third party identification service provider, we
will collect a copy of your school/faculty issued ID or other document that
verifies your status as an educator, such as your employment offer, letter of
acceptance, or copy of a pay stub. We require that you redact personal data
(except your name and your employer) from these documents before they are
shared with us.

If you apply to be a tutor, in addition to username and email, we collect the


following application information: your areas of expertise, first and last name,
country of residence, highest level of education, professional background,
mobile number, and confirmation that you are 16 and above. We also collect
evidence of your educational background such as your diploma, professional
certificate/license, or school transcript. Finally, to verify your identity, we
collect a copy of a photo ID, such as your student ID, driver’s license, or other
government ID, as well as a photo of yourself holding the photo ID submitted to
us. If your ID includes the equivalent of a Social Security Number, we ask that
you redact the number when submitting your ID to us. We also collect your
PayPal email in order to transfer your earnings for tutoring on Course Hero.

Based on your consent, we will use your mobile number to send you
notifications about high demand student questions.
Canadian residents only : If you want to claim earnings as a tutor, we collect your
tax information, which consists of your full name or business entity name, type
of ID (SIN for an individual or program account number for a business),
government ID number, and permanent address for the purpose of reporting
earnings up to a certain amount.

If you sign up as a paying subscriber, payment information, such as card


number, is collected and processed directly by our third-party payment
processors. Our payment processors are
Google Pay, Apple Pay, PayPal,
Braintree and Recurly. 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.

Additional personal data you may choose to give to us

If you sign up as a student, you may choose to provide us with your first and
last name, phone number (if you choose to enable SMS texting in your account
settings), graduation date (month and year), and a profile picture.

If you sign up as a tutor, you may choose to provide us with your graduation

The following data is publicly accessible:

If you have a

graduation date and profile picture, if provided.
If you have a

educator account, your first and last name, school where
you teach, and any Educator Profile Data.
If you upload Content on Course Hero, any personal data included in your
Submission. Please do not include personal data in your Submission that
you would not want to be publicly available.

Contests and sweepstakes

When you participate in a Course Hero contest or sweepstake, we collect your


email, mailing address (for physical prizes), and school you attend. If you are
selected as the winner, we also collect a copy of your driver's license and
student ID to confirm your identity and eligibility, after which the copies are
deleted. For cash prizes, we require winners to complete a W-2 tax and direct
deposit information used solely to make payment to you.

educators and students. When you register to attend an event, we may collect
your email, school, name, title, and country of residence.

Collected through your use of Course Hero

When you use our Services, we collect the following:

Usage information (such as the date and time of visits, pages viewed, links
to/from any page, and time spent in a session)
Device information (such as your internet protocol (IP) address, Internet
service provider, operating system, and web browser type)
Location information (based on your IP address), to (among other things)
show relevant content, identify the applicable regional subscription
offering and to detect/identify fraud on our Services

Course Hero collects phone numbers in certain cases during your use of our
Services for the purpose of verifying your account and preventing fraud. For
example, if you are not a paying subscriber and would like to submit a question
on Course Hero for the first time, we will prompt you to provide your phone
number so we can send a confirmation code solely to verify your account. If you
are a tutor, we will prompt you to provide your mobile number before
withdrawing earnings.
We also collect phone numbers to send you messages based on your express
consent at the time of collection. For example, unless you voluntarily provided
your phone number to enable SMS texting in your account settings, we will give
you the option to provide it after submitting a question so that we can, with
your consent, send you text updates on tutor response.

From time to time, Course Hero offers programs which involve payment of
earnings or other payment to you. In such cases, you may choose to participate
and provide us with your PayPal email to receive payments from Course Hero.

Collected about you from third party sources

If you choose to sign up with Course Hero using a third-party log-in service, you
will provide us or allow the log-in service to provide us with your personal data
as specified by that third-party log-in service. For example, if you choose to sign
up using Facebook, you will provide us or allow Facebook to provide us with
your personal data, such as your name, email, user ID, profile picture, and
education data (school, school type, school name, graduation year), if available.
If you use Google, you will provide us or allow Google to provide us with your
name, email, and profile picture, if available. If you use Apple, you will have the
option to allow Apple to provide us with your email address.

For more information about the personal data shared with Course Hero, please

policies.

When you contact customer support, we collect your first and last name, the

credit card number. You may also choose to provide us with additional
information, such as name on credit card and phone number.

When your provide feedback, we collect your email and any other personal data
you may provide us.

When we conduct research to improve our Services

From time to time, we conduct research to help improve our Services by


sending you online surveys or questionnaires. In such cases, we may collect
demographic data about you, such as gender, age, and education level, on a
voluntary and anonymized basis.
