Updates and Contact Info
When you apply for a job at Udemy, we will ask you to provide us with information about yourself so we can evaluate your application. If this information is not provided, our ability to consider you as a candidate may be limited. You may choose to provide us with other personal data that we have not specifically requested. For example, your resume or CV may contain information about your hobbies or social activities, or you may provide this information verbally during an interview. Below are the categories of data we collect from you and some specific examples.
Udemy does not require you to submit sensitive or special category personal data (like data relating to religion, health, sexual orientation, trade union affiliation, race, ethnicity, or political opinion) in connection with your application.
Employment decisions are made on the basis of job-related criteria without regard to race, ethnicity, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, age, genetic information, national origin, disability, military, or veteran status, or any other classification protected by applicable law.
Based on local law, we may ask for information like race, ethnicity, or gender so that we can ensure that we are meeting our goal to provide equal employment opportunities. This information is voluntary to disclose, and you will not be subject to any adverse treatment if you choose not to provide it. If you choose to provide it, this information will be kept in a confidential file and separate from personnel records and will only be used in accordance with applicable law.
If you have a disability and would like for us to consider an accommodation, you may request the accommodation during the recruiting process.
If you choose to provide us with sensitive or special category personal data, you are expressly consenting for us to handle such data in accordance with this Notice.
We may obtain information about you from public sources or third parties. For example, we may obtain information about you from individuals who have referred you to us and recruiting service providers who may collect your personal data from publicly available sources. You may also choose to give us access to personal data stored by third parties, like your profile on a job-related social media site. By providing us with this access, you agree that we may collect and use this information in accordance with this Notice. We may also conduct background screenings through a third-party service provider and verify application information, like your education, employment, and/or criminal history, as allowed by applicable law.
We may use your personal data for the following purposes:
We share your personal data only with those who need it in order to perform their tasks and duties for the purposes described above. We may disclose your personal data to the following types of third parties:
These third parties are required to handle any shared personal data solely as we direct and to treat your personal data in a confidential manner. We may also share data if we get your consent or if it is anonymized.
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures, based on the type and sensitivity of data being stored, to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your personal data that we collect and store. However, as no system can be 100% secured, we cannot guarantee against unauthorized access by third parties.
We will retain your data only as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes described in the section above entitled “How We Use Your Data”.
Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights relating to your personal data, including:
We do not sell or share your personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). To make a rights-related request, please contact [email protected] or send a request in writing to us at:

For your protection, we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request. Please note that we retain certain data where we have a lawful basis to do so, including for legal record-keeping.
As our recruiting operations are based in the United States, we transfer your personal data to the United States and process it there. We have entered into data processing agreements with our service providers and Udemy Group Companies to restrict and regulate their processing of your data. By submitting your data to us, you are agreeing to this transfer, storage, and processing by Udemy and its service providers.
Personal data will be processed outside of the UK, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area (“EEA”) by Udemy Group Companies or service providers to provide support services as described above in the section entitled “Who We Share Your Data With”. We use Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission to facilitate transfers of personal data to third countries. You have the right to obtain a free copy of the SCCs. You may use the information in the section below entitled “Updates and Contact Info” to submit requests related to data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your data supervisory authority.
If you are an Australian resident and you have a complaint, you may refer it to the office of the Australian Information Commissioner (“OAIC”).
