Should definitely avoid Duolingo.
I am visiting denmark in summer and wanted to learn some danish. I looked at duolingo, then at their privacy policy, then i threw the idea away. Babbel is better in terms of privacy but still not great. I havenβt found an alternative product yet.
Asking for a friend, do they sell your data or just (ab)use it?
Both, your data ends up at facebook, google and i think microsoft as well :))
Thanks for the heads up, I never cared much for American companies using my data because I didn't care much of them making money off my back but I feel that I have to change that with now geopolitic situation changed. I don't want my data accessible to a government that has increasingly closer ties with regimes like the ones in China, Russia and Israel.
